City of Lodi
the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout
encourages smokers to quit, and
increasing numbers of children are experimenting with a product
that can produce lifetime addiction with an increased risk of cancer,
and
more Americans die every year from tobacco -related diseases than
from AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, fires, illegal drugs, murders, and
suicides combined, and
youth -related promotions such as the Great American SmokeScream
and the Great American Smokeout Pledge encourage youth not to
start smoking, and
the health benefits of not smoking are substantiated and well known,
Therefore, I Phil Pennino, Mayor of the City of Lodi, by virtue of the
authority vested in me, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November
20, 1997, as
The American Cancer Society's
Great American Smokeout
day in this city, and in doing so, urge all smokers and smokeless
tobacco users to demonstrate to themselves and our children that
they can quit and to further encourage our children not to start
smoking by joining the American Cancer Society's Great American
Smokeout.
In Witness thereof,
I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department of Lodi
be affixed this Day of November, 1997.
