Mrs. Claus
Mrs. Claus has a Cause is a tobacco awareness program designed for first grade students in Mississippi public and private schools. A volunteer, dressed as Mrs. Claus, reads the story of Bizzy Bubble’s, Santa’s littlest elf, efforts to get Santa to quit smoking his pipe.
Your browser may not support display of this image.This program was started because Santa is often depicted smoking in children’s storybooks, coloring books and comic strips. In this special Christmas story, Santa is made aware of the role model he is setting for children. He learns that children want him to quit smoking his pipe and support clean air and lungs. Bizzy becomes the hero in the story as he teaches Santa to blow bubbles out of his pipe rather than smoke.
If you are interested in bringing this program to your school during this year’s Christmas season, contact the American Lung Association® of Mississippi office at 1-800-586-4872.
Freedom From Smoking Overview
Want to quit smoking? You’ve come to the right place. American Lung Association of Mississippi quit-smoking programs give you the tools you need to fight your addiction to nicotine. Even if you’ve tried to quit before, we can help you do it for good.
Quitting smoking is the most important step you can take for a healthier life. Every year tobacco use causes more than 440,000 deaths in this country from lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases, including emphysema, COPD, heart disease and stroke.
We understand that quitting may be the hardest thing you’ll ever do. Nicotine in tobacco is highly addictive – your body calls out for more, making it hard to fight the urge to smoke.
To help you overpower your cravings, the American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking® is offered in communities across the state. The eight-week course helps you understand when and why you smoke so you can change your behavior. And our Freedom From Smoking® Online lets you quit at your own pace by logging on to the program wherever and whenever you want. Both offer support groups to help you through it.
