The Great American Smokeout
Target: The community
The Great American Smokeout (GAS) is an upbeat, national effort by the American Cancer Society to encourage smokers to give up tobacco for at least 24 hours. The Smokeout sponsors rallies, parades, GAS Press Conference for high school student journalists, contests, skits, lockups, GAS Challenge Bowl–any lighthearted activity designed to help smokers stay smoke-free for a day and to encourage students to resist the pressure to start smoking.
For additional information on how to involve your school, or how to volunteer to help out, contact Daryl G. Thiesen, Prevention Programs Coordinator at (661) 636-4757, email: dathiesen@kern.org or your local branch of the American Cancer Society.
