This year’s Smokeout is Thursday, Nov. 15. Whidbey General Hospital will observe the Smokeout with an information table in the hospital lobby from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with brochures, hands-on demonstrations and information on free resources for becoming tobacco-free.

Katherine Riddle, certified tobacco treatment specialist and respiratory therapist, will answer questions and discuss the many available tools for quitting. Anyone thinking of becoming tobacco-free is asked to attend.
