SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa.
– Slippery Rock University will offer a free, quit-smoking
program titled “SmokeStoppers” open to students,
faculty, staff and community members beginning Feb. 1.
SmokeStoppers

quit smoking or cut back. The program is presented by Community

health, and is made possible by a grant from Adagio Health and the
Pennsylvania Department of Health. The program is being offered at
SRU through the efforts of SRU’s Pennsylvania Students
Working Against Tobacco. The program works to reduce tobacco use on
campus and in the community.
The intensive
90-minute sessions will begin at 7 p.m. in the University Union on
Feb. 1, 6-9, 13, 15 and 20.
