 Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A special event was held Thursday at the Luxor 'Bodies' Exhibition.

In support of the Great American Smokeout, they held a 'Commit to Quit' event.

Anyone who tossed out their cigarettes got a buy-one get-one free ticket offer to see 'Bodies.'

One visitor told us he understands why it's important.

"I would probably say I'm a testimony to that," Dean Frantz said. "I started to quit smoking and didn't quit get there, and actually had a heart attack." 

The exhibit includes examples of what smoking can do to your lungs, with real examples of preserved lungs from smokers.
