A local hospital and Wendy's paired together Thursday on the annual Great American Smokeout to encourage people to kick the habit.

Selby General Hospital representatives handed out Wendy's coupons to people who turned in their tobacco products for the day.

Health officials hope this will encourage them to quit for good.

They were also giving out information on their free cessation classes that include the gum, patch, and lozenges to those who qualify.
