“Anti-smoking section”
http://www.anti-smoking.org/
This website was founded in 1989 by Patrick Reynolds. He has testified before congress, as well as state and municipal legislatures, trying to get communities to initiate anti-smoking campaigns. His main focus is on youth, and he visits dozens of universities, high schools, and middle schools to “motivate youth to stay tobacco free, and to empower [them] to quit.” He wants to accomplish this by not only talking to young people but also by establishing in-house programs to fight tobacco in schools through websites and school based education programs.

This website was made and maintained by an ex-smoker, Shell Silva, who quit smoking 15 years ago. Her goal is to try to offer as many resources she can locate on the web and post them on her site. She also posts many, many success stories from people who have visited her website and quit smoking. Another project of her is to make every day the “Great American Smokeout,” not just November 21 of every year: “You could treat EVERY DAY like it was the GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT and have another 364 days to start quitting!! What a SIMPLISTIC idea! Ya Know sometimes simpler is better.” She then offers to email and correspond with people to give them support in their fight to quit.
I think both of these websites are very good because both people who run them are ex-smokers and they can give support to those who want to quit like they did.
