from people who have quit years ago.  The stories will focus on the different techniques and
programs that have helped people quit and to serve as a resource for the many current smokers
who want to free themselves from the nicotine addiction. To submit a story or to find out about
programs to quit smoking call the Tobacco-Free Coalitionof Delaware County at 281.2745, ext. 22.
