Actually, there is a program called Active and Safe Routes to School that
promotes active transportation. Children and families are encouraged to
walk to school instead of being driven. For more information, you can visit
Greenest City's website at www.greenestcity.org.

Why focus on smoking? My concern is that children from families who are
more likely to smoke(working class, poor, etc.) will be stigmatized by
middle class kids. What about a song targetting middle-class parents who
drive SUVs and unnecessarily pollute the air we all breathe?
