The Cigarette Is Dead, a social movement rooted in Colorado, has one ultimate objective - to speed up the demise of the cigarette and snuff it out for good.
Sixty years ago, smoking was thought to be harmless and became widely accepted in the home, workplace and even physicians' offices. The decline of the cigarette's popularity has gained swift momentum in the last half-century as consumers have been made aware of the harmful effects of smoking.
In 1965, tobacco companies were required to label cigarette packs with health warnings. In 1988 Aspen, Colo. became the first city in the nation to prohibit smoking in restaurants; 29 states and 36 countries have followed suit and adopted smoke-free laws.
