SCRUBS is partnering with the Green River Tobacco Control Coalition and OMHS HealthPark to challenge those who use tobacco to “Go Cold Turkey” on Thursday, November 17, the date of the Great American Smoke-Out.

During the month of November, SCRUBS students will place smoke-free/smoking cessation information and raffle containers at various businesses throughout Owensboro.

Each community participant who takes the pledge may register to take a chance on winning a turkey in honor of “Going Cold Turkey.” The drawing will be held live on WBKR, 92.5 FM on Thursday, November 17 about 7:40 am.

To participate, you are asked to take a pledge promising to:
• “Go Cold Turkey“ and be tobacco and smoke free at least on November 17, and hopefully each day afterwards
• Pledging to not smoking around others, especially babies and children
• If you are non-smoker, you may pledge to continue to live tobacco free and support a loved one who smokes to also be tobacco free
