5 New Smoke-Free Park Signs Tips To Quit Smoking: in Roanoke Rapids The #NCFinishers Youth group from Roanoke Valley recently sponsored an art contest to design a new smoke-free parks sign for the Roanoke Rapids City parks. The winner, Brennon Short, who plans to attend Guilford Technical Community College in the fall, won a free year of Adobe Creative Cloud. His design was of a green park that included facts about the dangers associated with secondhand tobacco smoke such as there is no risk-free level of secondhand smoke exposure. #NCFinishers is a group of youth leaders with a goal to lower tobacco use among people, especially teens, in Roanoke Rapids. This past winter they met on a monthly basis to work on the art contest, pick up cigarette butts in city parks, design smoke-free parks t-shirts, and give a smoke-free parks presentation to the Roanoke Rapids City Council. On May 20th, #NCFinishers hosted a smoke-free parks sign unveiling at Chockoyotte Park in Roanoke Rapids, featuring the artwork of Brennon Short. Community members, family and local government officials attended this event sponsored by the Truth Initiative and the Partnerships to Improve Community Health. The Truth Initiative is America s largest nonprofit health organization dedicated to making tobacco use a thing of the past. For more information, visit truthinitiative.org. The Partnerships to Improve Community Health works to increase the number of people with improved access to smoke-free and/or tobacco-free environments.
