The city of Fruita is thinking about banning smoking in public parks. I use to be a smoker but quit about 15 years ago; Smoking is so taboo these days I don't know too many people who still smoke. It was hard at first to quit smoking I had tried numerous times and failed, then I called the Colorado Quitline, and now 15 years later I am smokefree.

Cigarette companies are thinking of new ways to get you to smoke all the while more people are becoming more educated on why you shouldn't smoke. It is becoming harder and harder to smoke a cigarette anywhere.
