Campaign for a Drug-Free Family : หน้า 120/232

When there is no peace in a family because of drugs and the roads to ruin problem, the dream of world peace will unfortunately remain a dream. Hence Luang Phaw Dhammajayo initiated a campaign "No alcohol No tobacco". The campaign has been successfully carried out since then. The activities included pouring away alcohol and burning cigarettes. The records show that during 2003-2004 the "no alcohol no tobacco" activities were organised over 1,000 times by college students from over 100 universities across the world. From these activities there were many drinkers and smokers who quit drinking and smoking, as well as some alcohol and cigarettes retailers quitting the sale of these products, some liquor manufacturers completely closed down their operations. One of the very memorable examples was the closing down of a traditional liquor factory and the biggest winery in the northeast in Nakornrachasima and Srakaew province, respectively. During the winery shutdown, over 100,000 bottles of wine (7 million Baht in value) were poured away completely.
