I am so excited by how businesses are eagerly embracing the opportunity to support the American Cancer Associations' Great American Smokeout (Nov 18th). We went door to door and asked retailers and small businesses if they are interested in placing a trash can with a banner upon it to encourage people to quite smoking on that day. Not only did they eagerly embrace the opportunity, they suggested contributing a small and encouraging token from their store if possible.
Small businesses without corporate ties were the first eager to participate coming from their heart to be a part of the community spirit on this national day. The larger businesses however are catching the wind of excitement and corporate headquarters are dicing the idea around a bit and then saying yes.
Their participation is so easy too. They merely supply a trash can and place a banner we are supplying in their store front or on the trash can. Patrons or passersby can dump their cigarettes (etc.), be gifted a token congratulations from the store owners and grab our STOP SMOKING TODAY CD free to help them throughout the days ahead to stop smoking. We usually retail the CD for $25. Mary O'Maley, an hypnotherapist, and Dr. Carol Francis, a psychologist in this community for 26 years, were thrilled when the American Cancer Association was eager for us to rally this campaign. Hopefully, the collective excitement will help many stop--free at last.
I don't know if you ever smoked or now do, but the strain of smoking and maintaining the very demanding habit of doing so actually plagues at least 70% of the smokers. Every smoker I met while going door to door, was thrilled with the idea of ending on a day when many would be doing the same.
There are many ways to assist the smoker to stop. It would be fabulous to include this alternative as a true assistance to the South Bay. Let me know when one of your reporters can call or visit so we can pass this and other information about how individuals who want to stop smoking can stop.
BEST TO YOU
