31st annual smokeout fosters awareness of smoking cessation program on campus
November 15, 2007
University Health Services will celebrate the 31st anniversary of the Great American Smokeout from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. by hosting a table on the second floor of the Kent Student Center.
Kristy Knight, a student assistant in the Office of Health Promotion, said information on smoking cessation will be available for students interested in quitting. Samples of Chantax, a smoking cessation aid, will be available for students to highlight the office’s new program available to students.
“We hope they get a lot of information on how unhealthy this habit is and get more people into the program,” Knight said. “If they go into it, they might have a better time quitting smoking then if they did it alone.”
Contact the Office of Health Promotion at (330) 672-8267 for more information on the Smokeout and its smoking cessation
program.
