Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: For over twenty years, PPSI has promoted two major public health education awareness campaigns in the field of smoking cessation; one is the Great American Smokeout (GAS) and the other- Take a New Years Resolution to Stop Smoking (TANYRTSS). Both call attention to the side effects of smoking. Through a strong Marin County Smoke Free Coalition in California,PPSI has aligned with CVS pharmacies in Marin which will stop selling tobacco products as of October 1.
