The Great American Smokeout is a nationally observed day to encourage tobacco smokers to give up their habit and become victorious over tobacco. It is also an opportunity as a preventative measure to educate non-smokers on the dangers of smoking. This year, the Above the Influence Club at Oxford Central School delivered a smoking prevention education program in observance of the Great American Smokeout. The club members educated 2nd and 3rd graders on the dangers and consequences of smoking and second-hand smoke. Together they created smoking awareness messages to use as a school-wide smoking prevention campaign. The program was coordinated in association with the Coalition for Healthy and Safe Communities, Warren County Branch, under the direction of Prevention Connections, a program of the Family Guidance Center of Warren County.
