Nov. 15 is the Great American Smokeout.
The American Cancer Society is marking the Great American Smokeout on November 17 by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a
plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By doing so, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life –
one that can lead to reducing cancer risk.
Quitting is hard, but you can increase your chances of success with help. The American Cancer Society can tell you about the
steps you can take to quit smoking and provide the resources and support that can increase your chances of quitting successfully.
