A 14 MILLONES DE LATINOS SE LES ESTÁ OBLIGANDO A FUMAR.

El humo de segunda mano en restaurantes y bares afecta más a los Latinos que a cualquier otro grupo. En un día de trabajo nuestros meseros, cocineros y vecinos respiran un equivalente a fumar un paquete de cigarrillos diario. De manera que estas personas pueden desarrollar cáncer de pulmón en un 34% más que un no fumador. Es hora de hacer valer los derechos de nuestra comunidad. Visite standohio.org para apoyar los lugares de trabajo donde no se permita fumar.

Come visit us! a long vacation. ★ A ★ CANCER: (June 22 - July 23) ★ Your plans this week, and those of a family member may not mesh well at all, but someone has to give—guess who it will be, and try to be cheerful about it. Days like this can teach us all a lesson. Communication with another person becomes more meaningful. A ★ ★ ★ LEO: (July 24- August 23) Your self-confidence soars for the next several weeks and now starts a trend in which your best traits and talents can be intensified. Highlighted this week are romance and social popularity. Keep your spending in control; don’t be too quick to splurge. A ★ ★ ★ VIRGO: (August 24 - September 23) This will be a positive week for financial and career goals. Expect a favor from an unanticipated source—if not right away, then in the very near future. Be wise and sidestep discussions on any touchy subjects. Tempers may be high and reasoning low. ★ A ★ ★ LIBRA: (September 24 - October 23) There may be a possibility of a money argument with someone close to you this week. Have the confidence in your intuition, and follow through with what you truly believe, when the time is right. You will enjoy close rapport with coworkers on an important project. A ★ ★ ★ SCORPIO: (October 24 - November 22) Try not to become involved in a mild argument, or in providing information that maybe confidential. Resist any urges to spend extravagantly, and remember to take heart to the phrase that all that glitters may not be gold. How are you going to reach your goals? ★ A ★ ★ SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 - December 21) By using your patience and diplomacy skills this week, you may be able to advance a business association. Your evening hours will be filled with relaxation and romantic events. Any overt criticism must be avoided if you want to advance at work. A ★ ★ ★ CAPRICORN: (December 22 - January 20) A new romance may be waiting just around the corner. Work is really the name of the game this week, and if you try to get out of it, you may just land in an even more restricted setting. Make the best of a rather awkward situation concern- ing certain family members. ★ A ★ ★ AQUARIUS: (January 21 - February 19) If you make it a point of putting aside dreary thoughts and feelings this week, your love life, plus creative and pleasur- able interests will be happily featured. If you capitalize on your power of persuasion, you will emerge a winner in any negotiations you take on. A ★ ★ ★ PISCES: (February 20 - March 20) Such diverse, and yet important interests such as domestic matters, property improvement, entertaining and career ad- vancement will be highlighted this week. This is your time to turn on the charm if you are looking for progress at work. Your charisma will get you far. A ★ ★ ★ IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You love the spot- light, and the center stage is your natural habitat. Your sign is associated with the masculine and assertive force that naturally generates activity and growth. Your driving force is your ego.
