An anti–smoking mural in McKees Rocks that didn’t get blocked from view. (See the information on this mural.) Tobacco Free Allegheny County funds a program called Music and Art as Prevention (MAP) that attempts to use the arts to reach out to kids and prevent them from starting to smoke. This mural reinforces the message and was designed by those kids.

TribLIVE did an article about the mural and it’s author Genea Webb quotes lead artist Kyle Holbrook as saying: As an artist I want to make a difference through art. I wanted to show that if you stay smoke–free, you’ll be able to achieve your hopes and your dreams.
