Baton Rouge, La. – The Southern
University Ag Center’s Communities of Color Network will host several
events on Nov. 21 for Great American Smokeout Day.

November every year by the American Cancer Society. Approximately 40 million
American adults still smoke, and tobacco use remains the single largest
