ABOUT
ME

I am Traian Leahu JR.  Founder of Non Smoking Weekends. I smoked Cigarettes for 30 years of my life. Smoking was something I picked up when I was just a boy. At first it was something I did with friends once in a while on the weekends, but in highschool it became a regular thing, got in a habit of smoking half pack to a pack a day. I was hooked and didn't know how to stop.

As an adult I continued  smoking into my late forties.

However,  everything changed when I had a dream that some friends of mine took me on a non smoking weekend. In my dream, there was a group of guys that told me I needed to show them I have self control over smoking and drinking. So they asked me not to smoke or drink for a whole weekend, they planned on taking me on "A three Day Challenge", So in my dream that Friday we all went to New York City, rented Mountain bikes and spent a few hours riding around the city sightseeing, then went to a skatepark for few hours learning how to do all kind of cool trick on a skateboard, on half pipe I was doing 360's backflips was amazing, then all the sudden we were snowboarding in the mountains, after that we were playing a game of paintball in a corn field. 

We did all kind of other fun outdoor activities similar to what I did as a kid with my childhood friends, the whole weekend was full of adventure and I  realized I didn't even think about smoking I was to busy having fun.

This dream served as a turning point for me. 

From that morning when I woke up I decided to make that dream a reality. So,  I created Non Smoking Weekends.  I want to help teens and young adults stop smoking one weekend at a time, and this way they don't end up like me still smoking in their forties. I do think this program will help thousands of kids stop smoking and live a life free from this addiction.
