In Finney County a hospital bench near the entrance and a post office doorway serve as smoking hot spots as residents discuss the American Cancer Society’s Smokeout. Sue O Conner urges higher tobacco resistance while smokers at the scene admit the habit is hard to break though they see the day as a nudge toward quitting. Local officials like Dave Jones acknowledge the effort but doubt immediate cessation.
