Anne Lawton, community outreach nurse at St. Peter’s Hospital Cancer Care Center, was interviewed by WTEN/News10 for their story on “No Menthol Sunday.” “No Menthol Sunday,” which takes place on May 16, is a campaign that brings awareness to the harm menthol cigarettes do, particularly to the African American community.
