A new world champion shook the boxing world on Saturday with a display of courage, valor, …

Bobby (the other Pacquiao) shares this message for those wanting a healthier life.

?Please, don?t smoke!?

Restituto ?Buboy? Fernandez, Manny?s confidant/trainer, concurs.

?My advise to our youth----STOP SMOKING. Eat right so your body stays well. Avoid smoking because it?s not good for your health. You?re the hope of our nation. STOP SMOKING?

Wendell Rupert Alinea, photographer-in-residence for Team Pacquiao, Philboxing.com and People?s journal, speaks from the heart.

?Take care of your health. Eat healthy. Please, don?t smoke because it destroys the lungs, it destroys your organs, it destroys your health. I am a cancer survivor. I just want to live a healthy life. Take care.?

Author?s notes:

Given the necessary tools, guidance and a desire to quit, smoking is a bad habit anyone can break. To one of my favorite writers from RAPPLER.com (initials R.S.) who asked??What cigarette is the safest? Is vaping any better? Answers: None. And Nope.
