Loyd Platson and Amanda Roberts with the Hope Coalition have organized today’s (November 21) Great American Smokeout schedule in Sitka. The day is geared toward helping smokers quit. Events include 1:30 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. picking up butts around Blatchley Middle School; 3 p.m. at AC Lakeside there will be a contest to guess how many butts were picked up, with the winner to receive a cold turkey. There will be information on free resources on quitting available in Sitka, and the harms of vaping.
