Lake Superior College is leading the way in helping smokers, especially student smokers, kick the habit. In concert with the national Great American Smokeout Day today, the college will offer a number of activities with prizes to support smokers in their quest to discharge the evil nicotine monkey off their backs.

Students will be encouraged to quit for the day by turning in their pack of cigs.

SMOKE OUT ACTIVITIES
· American Lung Association of Minnesota‘s “Win through Quitting” presentation by Jan Salo-Korby, 11 a.m.- noon. Learn about tobacco addiction, nicotine replacement therapies, e-cigarette, & FDA approved methods of cessation. Participants enter to win a Target gift card.

· Mini Tobacco Resource Session from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Commons area. Information and education booths by SMDC QUITPLAN, American Lung Association of Minnesota, LSC Nursing students, LSC Dental students, LSC Respiratory Care students and LSC Health Services.

Free cold turkey sandwiches and survival bags with stress balls, gum, hard candy, sunflower seeds, and pretzels will be handed out to the first 60 students who participate.
