About Us
Arti-Smoking is a not-for-profit organization incorporated and registered
in Canada.
Arti-Smoking
uses creative methods and art to enhance youth and public
awareness about danger of smoking and the epidemic magnitude of
deaths from tobacco uses, as well as gathering
public supports to fight the problem.
Arti-Smoking is NOT an anti-smoking
organization, it is anti-TOBACCO; because it believes that
tobacco and cigarettes productions are the real sources of
the problem.
It
is absolutely absurd to allow tobacco companies to continue
marketing the lethal substance for profit.

Mission of
Arti-Smoking
According to The World Health
Organization: More than 5,000,000 people will die in the
world this year due to tobacco related illnesses.
If the trend continues,
by year 2030, more than 10,000,000 people will be killed
annually.
By year 2050, over 500 million people would
have been
killed.
(Tobacco industry has been
targeting under-developed countries. Such that number
of smokers in these countries increased drastically,
and many
of them are children.)
There is real urgency to curb this alarming trend.
