The Mississippi Department of Health will be sponsoring a program at the library in correlation with the Great American Smokeout.

Each year about 443,000 people in the United States die from illnesses related to tobacco use. Smoking cigarettes kills more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined."
