The times- they are a changin'! Good time to be quitting. When NASCAR goes nonsmoking, it's pretty ominous.

More advertising promoting not smoking. One step at a time to try to keep people from slowly killing themselves. Rob.. you are right, the times are changing.

duffis, All those years I went to the Nascar events to get my free cartons of cigarettes! I'd go back after washing off the mark they put on the back of your hand and get more.. lol. What a jerk!! I don't know that Nascar will ever change the mindset of the "good old boys" who attend the races, but it sounds like thay are certainly working on the drivers and crews! Great post duffis!!

Forgot to tell ya all but I had lunch this past week with Johnnie Kline who is Petty Racing�s Fabrication/Body Shop Manager. The entire corporation is under strong recommendation to give up smoking. This is after a management report that it is costing an annual amount of $9,863.50 per each smoking employee. This includes smoke breaks, cost of health insurance, lost time and smoke related illness. This year Nicorette Gum is one of Kyle Petty�s sponsors on the 45 Cup car. They came into the shop and are conducting stop smoking clinics and providing free products to aid in the process. Johnny has been smoking all his adult life and quitting is going to be a ***** even with NRT on hand. Race shop environment and deadlines are beyond stressful. Each car sponsorship runs about $15,000.000.000. bare bones and the cars have to be right and in the race. You will see more and more racing TV ads promoting NON-SMOKING this year and it is about time. At least NASCAR is taking a leadership role in this area. With the demise of R.J. Reynolds as the major sponsor giving way to NEXTEL/SPRINT and now with the drug companies coming in, even to promote NRT, it is none the less progress. This Saturday the Busch Race at Atlanta is being sponsored by Nicorette Gum.
