02:19, 2008-Mar-31
WINNEBAGO -- Young people here will erect a memorial graffiti wall today with messages about
cigarettestoll on their loved ones.
The youth at St. Augustine's School in Winnebago will display the messages at 11 a.m. at the school located at Mission Road 1 South. Graffiti walls will also be made at the local Boys and Girls Club.
The wall is being erected in conjunction with the 13th annual Kick Butts Day, where thousands of children across Nebraska rally against tobacco on April 2. The day is sponsored by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
This year, Kick Butts Day is seeking to raise awareness about continued
cigarettes marketing and sales to children. The organization believes Congress should crack down on these practices by passing legislation granting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco products.
