Adrian, MI – In recognition of the World Health Organization’s ‘World No Tobacco Day,’ the Lenawee County Health Department in collaboration with the Lenawee YOUTH Council, set-up their annual clothesline project at the Human Services Building on Winter Street late last week.
Teens from the YOUTH Council hung 147 shirts on the clothesline, representing each tobacco-related death in Lenawee County last year. The clothesline will be on display for approximately two weeks.
Tobacco use kills more than 6 million people world-wide every year. The Lenawee County Health Department says that smoking kills more people in the county than AIDS, alcohol, auto accidents, drugs, opioids, murders and suicides combined.
