Shred your cigarettes today, get free sandwich coupon
I received the following email from Peter Osborne, the Southwest Ohio Public Relations Director for the American Cancer Society. This event is going on right now, until 3 p.m.
On Thursday’s American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout, smokers in Dayton will have the chance to go cold turkey for a hot chicken sandwich.
When smokers bring their cigarettes to Buffalo Wings & Rings in Centerville, they’ll be able to place them into an industrial shredder and receive a coupon for a hot chicken sandwich. Coupons are limited in number and only available on a first come, first served basis. The shredder will be available to all until 3 p.m.
The American Cancer Society will also provide information on smoking cessation support services. This event will happen from 12-3 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19.Buffalo Wings & Rings is located at 894 S. Main St. in Centerville. Here’s more from the organization’s media advisory:
What: Quit cold turkey and get hot chicken!

The industrial shredder will be available to all until 3 p.m.
The American Cancer Society will also provide information on support programs for current and ex-smokers to help them stay free of cigarettes, avoid cancer and enjoy more birthdays.

I love it when the misguided (aka lisa) opens up their mouths and show how ignorant they are. beer has nothing to do with this article and beer in moderation is not bad for you (like red wine, etc).

I knew a guy who had this uncle who smoked a carton every day from the time he could walk and he lived until he was 150. See so smoking is actually good for you. Everybody is being lied to by Obama.
