America's Next Top Model Should Support Lung Scans
Believe it or not we're already four episodes into season nine of
America's Next Top Model. At the start of the season, we found out that Tyra was instituting a no-smoking ban in the house of the models as part of the season's theme of environmental and health awareness. The reason that this is important is that for so long, smoking has been seen as such a "cool" activity due in no small part to the fact that celebrities do it on camera. Sure, we're a long way from the days when the Marlboro Man and Ms. Virginia Slims were the ones that we looked up to but celebrities still play an important role in raising awareness about the dangers of smoking. One such way that this awareness could be heightened would be through spreading the word about
lung scans. Celebrities who smoke may get lung scans as part of their annual check-ups and awareness of that would increase awareness about the dangers of smoking.
