Escudero concerned over Noynoy's smoking

From Manila Bulletin

Two senators Wednesday expressed concern over the growing clamor for presidential front runner Sen. Benigno Noynoy Aquino III to quit smoking.

Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Nene Pimentel, Jr. and Senator Francis Escudero made their observation in separate text messages in the wake of the observation made by Department of Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral.

Cabral earlier suggested that Aquino make a conscious effort to stop smoking and to keep in mind that smoking is bad for one's health and that he should also set himself as an example to the nation, particularly to the youth.

Former president Fidel V. Ramos had also advised Aquino to cut down on smoking as well.
