Quit Cold Turkey for a Cold Turkey Sandwich Today

Instead of giving up smoking cold turkey, why not give up smoking for a cold turkey sandwich?

Thursday is the 'Great American Smoke Out' – a day to encourage people to stop smoking.

Most people are aware of the health benefits of quitting. But to start, experts say you really have to want to quit. You can double your chances of success if you combine counseling and medication. "The long term results of quitting cold turkey…the stats aren’t so high for long term quitting, but everybody can do it for a day," says Victoria Frensdorgg, RN.

To quit for a cold turkey sandwich, just bring your unused cigarettes to Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center Thursday from 11am to 1pm near the Arlington Avenue entrance.
