Colorado State University – Pueblo to promote smoke-free lifestyle at Smokeout event

Pueblo- Feel the freedom of being tobacco free or help someone else escape the addictive stronghold as part of Great American Smokeout activities on Nov. 16 at Colorado State University - Pueblo. For years, people have come together on this day to make new decisions about living smoke free.
Student member of TLC (Tackling Life’s Choices) and CSU-Pueblo’s EXHP 485 Health Promotion class will help others take a “Tobacco-Free Leap” with programming from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Occhiato University Center. Participants can test their tobacco IQ, win prizes, get free information for you or a friend, or sign up for a smoking cessation class.
“The Great American Smokeout is an-annual event held to remind smokers and non-smokers about the effective strategies for quitting smoking and reasons to not start smoking,” said Carol Foust, chair of exercise science and health promotion. “Our desire is to provide education and tools that will motivate individuals to start a plan with the resources available to them, both on and off campus.”
The Great American Smokeout activities and events will promote instructions on walking away from tobacco and running to a healthy lifestyle. The objective of this campaign is to remind students and their peers that life without tobacco is a healthy choice.
