Toms River, NJ, May 24, 2010 — World No Tobacco Day, an initiative of the World Health Organization, aims to promote awareness about the hazards of smoking and encourages smokers to quit. The purpose of this day is to draw attention to the consequences that are associated with tobacco use and to help reduce the 3.5 million deaths that occur worldwide each year that are from tobacco-related health issues. All of these deaths are preventable!
The Saint Barnabas Institute for Prevention, an affiliate of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System, continues its commitment to the health and safety of its employees, patients, physicians, visitors and community.
You can help a co-worker, family member or a friend quit smoking by encouraging them to contact the Institute for Prevention’s Tobacco Quit Center today. Quit programs are available in both Monmouth and Ocean Counties.
