Great American Smokeout at the Millcreek Mall

Erie, PA has one of the highest tobacco use rates in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Let’s make Erie tobacco-free for a day! The Great American Smokeout is an opportunity to prove to yourself that you can quit for the day and for life. Join the Northwest Pennsylvania Tobacco Control Program at the Community Booth at the Millcreek Mall on November 20th between 4:00-7:00PM to sign a pledge to quit smoking for the day or to remain smoke-free for life. All participants will be entered into a drawing for one of many gift cards donated by local organizations to help us support the Great American Smokeout. We will have activities for the kids as well as trained tobacco cessation facilitators to help you decide which resources will be most helpful to you during your quit. Remember to set your quit date for November 20th and together we can make our community tobacco-free. Begin your holiday season with a healthier choice. You-CAN beat tobacco!

The event will be on Nov 20th from 4:00-7:00PM at the Community Booth at the Millcreek Mall. We will be asking people to sign a pledge to quit smoking for the day or to remain smoke-free for life. Those who sign the pledge will be entered into a raffle to win one of many gift cards (totaling over $300) donated by local organizations in support of the event. We will also have children’s activities and tobacco cessation resources, including trained tobacco cessation facilitators for those who are interested in quitting tobacco.

One of the best gifts you can give yourself is to quit using tobacco. Why not take this opportunity to join millions of others on November 20th and quit for the day.
