Lincoln (Neb.) - Nov. 15, 1999 - The University of Nebraska- Lincoln Health Center's Health Aide Program is sponsoring Great American Smokeout in conjunction with the American Cancer Society.
Organizers encourage NU students, staff and faculty to visit the Great American Smokeout booth in the Nebraska Union from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 17 and 18 to "Adopt A Smoker."
For each of the past 12 years, about 85 health aides have participated in the Smokeout by adopting a smoker. Health aides fill out adoption papers and give their adoptees survival kits including stickers, buttons and a tip sheet for quitting smoking or chewing tobacco.
Adoption papers are available at the University Health Center from Community Health Education or at the information booth in the Nebraska Union.
