Alison: Hey, have you heard
of Smokefree Women?
Smokefree Women,
developed by the National Cancer
Institute, is your ultimate
guide of staying clear
of tobacco & boosting your
quit attempt.
Think of us as a virtual B.F.F.
for tips, advice,
and support
to keep women smokefree.
Mother's Day 2010 marks the one
year anniversary
of the Smokefree Women campaign!
We're launching a video contest
and we want you to enter!
Shani: And we're so excited!
Videos must be submitted
by June 4th
and winners will be announced
July 2nd just in time
for Independence Day.
Let's celebrate freedom
from cigarettes and smoking.
And so, let me tell you the
contest themes.
There are two categories
that you can enter.
In the first category,
we want to hear why you are a
smokefree woman.
What are your reasons
and motivations?
What does it mean to you
to be smokefree?
Jeff: Not a woman?
Not a problem.
We all have someone special
in our lives
who should be smokefree.
The second category is for you.
Tell your mother;
tell your sister;
tell your cousins; a coworker
or a neighbor.
Tell them why you want them
to be smokefree.
Ami: Besides getting a chance
share your story
or encouraging a woman
in our life to stay smokefree,
there's prizes!
The National Cancer Institute's
Smokefree Women website will
feature the winning video
in each category
for all your friends
and family to see.
And, there's a cash prize.
