Commit To Quit – 31 May is World No Tobacco Day

This yearly celebration informs the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies, what the World Health Organization (WHO) is doing to fight the tobacco epidemic, and what people around the world can do to claim their right to health and healthy living and to protect future generations.

The Member States of the World Health Organization created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to draw global attention to the tobacco epidemic and the preventable death and disease it causes — a cause The Breathing Association strongly stands behind. In 1987, the World Health Assembly passed Resolution WHA40.38, calling for 7 April 1988 to be a “a world no-smoking day.” In 1988, Resolution WHA42.19 was passed, calling for the celebration of World No Tobacco Day, every year on 31 May.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to millions of tobacco users saying they want to quit. Commit to quit today and sign the pledge.

I commit to quit!

Dannette Palmore : 1949 – 2021

It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that our treasured supporter and great friend, Danni Palmore has unexpectedly passed away.

She has shined a light on our organization as a board member, guiding us and helping us to grow to be strong for others. She was instrumental in bringing the “fashion” to our Mother’s Day Fashion Show and more importantly, was a leader and mentor for our organization and our community.

Her kindness and wonderful smile will be missed by all.

Arrangements entrusted to DIEHL-WHITTAKER FUNERAL SERVICE, 720 E. Long St., where a Walk-Through Viewing (mask required) will take place 9-10am on Monday, January 25, 2021.

A Celebration of Life Service will be streamed online to allow family and friends to honor Danni together at a distance.

Danni’s family has asked for those interested to donate to The Breathing Association. if you wish to make a donation in Danni’s honor, please click here.

Colette Harrell as “Mother Sweat” and Danni – the real sage.

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to her daughter, son, grandchildren and other family members and friends. My prayers are with you. I will miss Danni more than words can express. She was an intentional thinker full of wisdom and integrity. I found her to be fun, energetic and present in every moment. I valued her and was blessed to stand in her light.

-Colette Harrell, The Breathing Association

Kim Campbell, Jane Grote Abell and Danni.
