New Year’s Resolution to Quit Smoking?
The Youth Center has donated 100
quit kits to the Siletz Clinic to help
people of all ages keep their New Year’s
resolution to quit smoking.
DeAnna Pearl, Youth Center
coordinator, says, “Kids are an amazing
force when they get together in a
common cause. This cause, to support
relatives and friends to quit smoking for
a healthier new year.”
For additional support and
guidance, contact your doctor for more
information on how to quit smoking.
Remember, you didn’t start smoking
in a day, so keep practicing to quit all
year long!

Become a good example for my child. By brushing and flossing each day,
my child will watch me and do the same. If I value my teeth and take care
of myself, my child learns to do the same.
