For years, anti-smoking messages have gone out to the Marin community through GAS, the Great American Smoke Out, and the Take a New Year’s Resolution to Stop Smoking campaign.
The 22nd annual New Year’s Resolution to Stop Smoking campaign, a national effort sponsored by Pharmacists Planning Service Inc., runs through Feb. 12 (Super Bowl day).
The stop-smoking campaign has helped a great number of Americans kick the habit. Not only are these people helping themselves, they are helping their neighbors by reducing secondhand smoke, which has more than 400 chemicals the average person inhales — 43 of which are known to cause cancer.
Pharmacies, public health and nonprofit organizations throughout the nation are participating in an all-out effort to alert and educate the public to the dangers of smoking
Pharmacists Planning Service Inc. has received national awards and honors for its ongoing efforts to better the public’s health. Its many campaigns include starting GAS, Diabetes Month, Poison Prevention Month, and efforts to ban the sale of cigarettes from all pharmacies.
PPSI, a California nonprofit corporation, offers a large number of health awareness programs to promote public health and education. PPSI is the originator and sponsor of National Poison Prevention Month. Approximately once per month it implements a new program on the website. To extend its research and incorporate as much information as possible, PPSI also offers links to other health education websites. Thank you for your continued interest and support.
