The Daily Bulletin

Join Weigel Health Promotion for a series of events to leading up to this year's Great American Smokeout on Thursday, November 17. Created by the American Cancer Society and supported across the nation to encourage tobacco users to become empowered and face their addiction, the Great American Smokeout is observed the third Thursday of November each year.

New this year: Student Affairs is co-sponsoring Quit Cold Turkey Coupons. Bring your cigarettes, vapes, juice, nicotine gum, chew, snuff, or other smoking or vaping paraphernalia to one of our health ambassadors at a tabling or other event and receive a coupon toward a Subway sandwich in Retail Dining. You must surrender some form of smoking or vaping product (it cannot be empty). Available while supplies last.
