The Lung Center is sponsoring three contests this week. The first is for anyone who goes to the Lung Center by Thursday and takes a smoke-free pledge to keep their home smoke-free and their family away from second-hand smoke. Participants will be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift certificate to the Shenango Valley Mall in Hermitage, which is smoke-free.

The second contest is for any smoker who registers at the Lung Center by Wednesday for counseling with a specific "quit smoking date" of Thursday. The winner of a drawing receives 12 weeks worth of free, over-the-counter nicotine replacement products such as patches, gum or lozenges.

The third contest is for any smoker who is pregnant, goes to the Lung Center and starts a smoking cessation program. Participants must be smoke-free for six months. The prize is a $200 gift certificate to Babies R Us to be drawn March 31, which is Kick Butts Day.
