(L-R above photo) American Cancer Society's Act Lead District 4 Misty Oblak and Tennessee Grassroots Manager Jessica Hyder tell about efforts to pass legislation in the General Assembly that would increase the legal smoking age from its current 18 to instead be 21. In addition, there is conversation about a request for $4-million to fund tobacco cessation effort, but that has been reduced to $2-million. Tennessee is the 3rd highest in the nation for all smoking. Plus, they remind the public to attend RELAY FOR LIFE on Aug. 10, 2019 from 3:00PM-midnight at Middle Tennessee Christian School.
