Blow Bubbles, Not Smoke

Are you ready to quit smoking! IUPUI is celebrating the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout on Thursday November 15th 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 and other health risks. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, yet more than 46 million Americans still smoke.

Need help or advice on how to quit smoking for good? There will be various events during the week of Nov. 12th including Great American Smokeout informational tables in the Campus Center on Tuesday (11am-1pm), Wednesday (11am-1pm), and Thursday (11am-3pm). Pick up your free quit kit at either an informational table. Also look out for students Blowing Bubbles, Not Smoke on Thursday for neat giveaways.
