The Office of Human Resources encourages all Canisius faculty and staff who smoke to participate in the Great American Smokeout which will be held tomorrow (November 18).
Although Canisius has had smoke-free workplace policies for several years, there are still many employees who continue to smoke and may need a little motivation to quit. This flyer (Adobe Acrobat PDF) gives this year’s information from the NYS Smokers’ Quit Line. Those who would like to fully quit smoking can also call the college’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for assistance in coping with stress and other factors which are often associated with smoking.
On November 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society successfully prompted nearly one million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first Smokeout, and the American Cancer Society expanded the event throughout the country in 1977. These events grew out of a 1974 event when Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Montecello Times in Minnesota, spearheaded the state’s first Don’t Smoke Day or “D-Day.”
