A sweet story about no-smoking, from Megnut:
 "About five years ago, a very dear friend of mine tried to quit smoking. I told him I would support him 100% and do what ever I could to help him resist the urge to light up.
"A few days after I made this promise, a group of us went out to the bar. We were all drinking and of course, many folks were smoking. Mike was tempted, but resisted. After another drink, his resistance started to wane, and I could tell. So for some reason, I jumped up and started doing a cheer, as if I were a cheerleader. I did that jump they do, where they kick out their legs and arms, and yelled, "there's Noooooooooo SMOKING!" in a cheerleader-like voice. Then I punch my arms in the air, with invisible pom-poms, and said, "No!" "Smoking" and then repeated it, several times over.
"Lots of people in the bar were staring, but it worked. Mike was laughing his ass off and put down the cigarette. From then on, it was our rallying cry. Whenever he wanted a cigarette, I'd lean over and tell him, 'there's NOOOOOOO smoking!'
"I'm sure this story tells better in real-life, when I can act out the cheers. But I share it nonetheless, because I wanted to sign off like this:
"There's noooooooo smoking,
