As the Division's Smoking Cessation Counselor, it was no simple feat to gain massive knock-on effects on the lifestyles of every Jungle Fighter, but through Irone's efforts, a number of smokers were able to successfully quit. He actually enticed some into becoming advocates in this dynamically promising program.
He provided support to individuals needing psychosocial interventions and made their lifestyle better. The transformation from an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking to a smoke-free individual leads to a better image of the Philippine Army, moreover, the 2nd Infantry Division with his active participation has expanded the domain of non-smoking areas and aimed to make Jungle fighters healthier than ever.
