Great American Smokeout
“The American Cancer Society is marking the 36th Great American Smokeout on November 17 by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By doing so, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life – one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. Quitting smoking is not easy, but it can be done. To have the best chance of quitting successfully, you need to know what you’re up against, what your options are, and where to go for help.” (Courtesy: American Cancer Society)
Center Point SWAT teams are partnering with The Lanier Georgia Chapter of the Oncology Nursing Society by collecting shoes to display in front of the hospital along Downey Street. The installation will occur on November 17th, from 7 AM to 5 PM. 1200 shoes will be collected and displayed, representing the 1200 lives that are lost daily to tobacco-related illnesses, as a part of the Remember the Soles campaign.
