Minnesota Quitters Day Is Friday

Friday is Minnesota Quitters Day.  It’s the second annual day set aside to urge Minnesotans to keep quitting commercial tobacco products.  Michael Sheldon with the Minnesota Department of Health tells us why the second Friday in January has been dubbed Quitters Day.

Sheldon says the Department of Health has set up Quit Partner, which offers several services to help Minnesotans kick the habit.

Quit Partner has specialized programs for teens, American Indian communities and women who  are pregnant or postpartum.  You can learn more by calling 1-800-QUIT NOW or by clicking http://quitpartnermn.com
