Quitting smoking, vaping, or any nicotine use isn’t easy. It takes time and starts with a plan. You don’t have to stop smoking in one day…just start with day one! 
Maybe November 19th, the Great American Smokeout date this year, would be a good day to try going smoke, vape, or nicotine-free—even for just one day!
Here are 3 steps the American Cancer Society recommends to get started with quitting smoking, vaping, or oral nicotine use:
1.Set your quit date and share it with family and friends so you have positive support system in place; you don't have to go it alone!
2.Make a plan on how to manage your day without smoking, such as activities to shift your focus and keep you occupied when cravings hit;
3.Discuss your quitting plan with your doctor, who can help with counseling, medications, and other support strategies.
Don’t go it alone! For facts about smoking, vaping, and other nicotine use, as well as a variety of in-person and digital quit resources for any age, visit:

In this hands-on charcoal workshop, you'll learn the same observation techniques artists have used for centuries to create realistic drawings. Working from flowers, fruit, and other interesting objects, you'll discover that drawing isn't about talent- it's about learning how to see. You'll discover that realistic drawing is a skill anyone can learn with the right approach. Learn the basics of charcoal drawing as you work with professional materials, including charcoal, newsprint, and kneaded erasers, while drawing from fresh flowers, fruit, and curated still lifes. Expect a little charcoal dust along the way, so wear an old shirt.
