For this edition of the SCF Highway to Hope Podcast, we will be focusing on our Rigs Without Cigs program as we mark Great American Smoke Out Day for 2022. Smoking is the leading cause of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Did you know that 16 million people in America have been diagnosed with COPD and smoking is the leading cause of COPD? In this episode of the podcast, you’ll hear about St. Christopher Fund’s Rigs Without Cigs smoking cessation program. SCF HIghway To Hope Podcast host Shannon Currier will be talking with SCF’s Health and Wellness Manager Julie Dillon and Rigs Without Cigs participant Michael Fazekas. You’ll also hear a very interesting discussion featuring representatives from our program sponsors on why this program is so important to them. Studies show that more than half of our three million truck drivers are smokers, and SCF has an effective solution to support drivers in their journey to become tobacco free. The Great American Smoke Out for 2022 will take place on November 17. If you’re ready to kick the habit, SCF has the program to help you do it!
