>>The "now" is superfluous, completely fucking up the intent of the sentence. If it's so good to quit smoking, it should be good anytime. Why now? What about other times? Not so good? That's the other half of what's wrong with the sentence. And the obvious "when is that 'now'?" question - at the time when the sentence was composed, written down, printed, read for the first time, seen on a thrown away empty pack months later? It even isn't clear whether it's "quitting now" or "now reduces".

>Verbal games are fun, but usually fruitless and often annoying.
>Saying "Now is a good time to do x" doesn't even remotely imply that other times are not as good.

Not to me. Why now? Unless it's a common thing to say "now" and mean "anytime", which would baffle me if it were so. Still, something of the kind would be a far better way to convey the message. However, trying to cram too much into the space of half a pack, in large ominously warning font, introduces ambiguity and confusion, i.e. unintended consequences.

Sure... makes you think your chances are far better than those of the morons who keep sending resumes with last six years missing. There must be thousands of those slobs, so they have to remind everybody.

Aaaaaargh! I've spent years arranging my contacts into a cube! And now they want them in a sphere! (the two pages of unprintables omitted here)
