DENTAL HYGIENE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN "1 DAY STAND AGAINST TOBACCO" CAMPAIGN
February 15, 2015
The university will participate in a national “1 Day Stand Against Tobacco” campaign from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Nov. 19, in the Student Center. SIU Carbondale is one of many campuses across the country who has adopted a smoke-free policy. The campaign, supported by the Tobacco-Free College Campus Campus Initiative Challenge, is designed to raise awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco use and second-hand smoke and help tobacco users to quit.
Faculty and students are encouraged to visit the interactive booth at the north escalators to learn about available resources, including smart phone applications, that can help people quit tobacco use. The SIU Dental Hygiene Program will be assisting with the smart phone applications on Nov. 19th.
If you can, please post the following Tweet messages to family, friends, co-workers, or anyone you care about to encourage them to quit using tobacco products.
