So many teens tell me that tobacco ads have had absolutely no influence over them. I agree that tobacco ads will not change your conscious mind — but they may be getting through to your unconscious mind more than you realize.

What is the unconscious mind? While your conscious mind is analytical, and makes (mostly!) sensible, rational decisions, it's your unconscious mind that often throws common sense out the window. It's the creative part of our minds, and it cares little for right or wrong. It just knows what feels good or bad, regardless of the consequences.

For example, an overweight person may have made a responsible and conscious decision to diet, but their unconscious mind still remembers the sweet taste of ice cream. The conscious mind's will to diet can be overcome by the power of the unconscious mind, and the memory of delicious ice cream. "Willpower" is literally the conscious will's power to repeatedly resist the strong desires of the unconscious mind.

In this powerful and motivating section of his anti-smoking assembly program, Mr. Reynolds discusses tobacco advertising. The vivid stories and facts he relates in his anti-tobacco talks are designed to empower youth to resist the onslaught of cigarette ads and peer pressure.

Using the anti-smoking ads below, Patrick makes great fun of tobacco advertising. He emphasizes that smoking looks very un-cool, and is no longer socially acceptable.

Both middle school and high school youth enjoy this section of his anti-tobacco assembly program. Humor is a key ingredient of his talks.

Let's look at someone trying to quit smoking. For most addicted smokers, the addition is about half-mental, half-physical. This varies with each individual.

The physical portion of the addiction is to nicotine. The psychological part of the addiction is to the relaxing, familiar sensation of handling the cigarette, watching its curling smoke, the deep and relaxing breathing associated with inhaling and exhaling, the taste, and so on.

When quitting, a smoker's conscious mind says, "I will stop smoking — no problem." But the unconscious mind has been conditioned that cigarettes give pleasure, and that's all it can focus on.

The addicted, unconscious mind says, 'Give me a cigarette — now!' It only recognizes what feels good, or what doesn't feel good. It demands a cigarette without regard to right or wrong, and rebels against the conscious mind's decision to not smoke.

During the process of quitting, however, a new habit of being a nonsmoker forms. The unconscious mind gradually gets used to not smoking, and the urges to smoke die away. [See our cool Quitting Tips for more information on how to quit smoking.

Everyday millions of accidents take place around the world. I have seen so much of news with those horrifying accidents, mostly motor vehicle accident that occurs in US. Mostly the young and energetic teenagers are involved in these kind of accidents and others would include the drunkards and drug addicts. The most often result would be death in these cases and even if you survive you will be either paralyzed or disabled for the rest of your lives.

The other horrifying accident that I fear most is fire. One silly mistake can lead to disaster when it comes to fire. Fire is one of the greatest powerful energy and without fire life seems pretty incomplete. We need fire for various reasons and it has been a part of our daily lives. The fire accident often occurs in US. The result again ending up dead. Even if you survive there will be great chances of first degree skin burns and you might do the plastic surgery and might lose your original facial impression. Well if you are in US, you have a great chance of having the perfect recovery as they have lots of cosmetic surgeons in lots of hospitals. They even have lots of websites with plastic surgery services such as Chicago cosmetic surgery and lots others. With some money and a lot of dedicated doctors, you can have your face back.

Well no matter what the accidents will take place. I would just like to tell all the people that with just a simple mistake these great disastrous accidents take place. So if we can just minimize our mistakes and be more careful we can oppose these accidents. As they say, Prevention Is Better Than Cure! So try to prevent yourself from these horrifying accidents. Always be careful!
