🚬The Great American Smokeout®
Quitting smoking isn’t easy. It takes time. And a plan. You don’t have to stop smoking in one day. Start with day one. Let the Great American Smokeout event on the third Thursday in November be your day to start your journey toward a smoke-free life!
You’ll be joining thousands of people who smoke across the country in taking an important step toward a healthier life and reducing your cancer risk. Plus, the American Cancer Society can help you access the resources and support you need to quit.
Quitting starts here.
Why is this event important?
Although cigarette smoking rates have been declining for decades, cigarette smoking remains the most preventable cause of serious illness and death.
▶️Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke cause more than 480,000 deaths in the US every year.
▶️Smoking ci******es increases the risk of at least 12 different cancers.
▶️In the US, cigarette smoking causes about 3 of every 10 cancer deaths. This number is higher in parts of the South and Appalachia.
▶️Some groups of people smoke more heavily or at higher rates. These populations tend to be those who face barriers to care and inequities in multiple areas of their lives, including:
➡️➡️People at lower socioeconomic and education levels
➡️➡️American Indians/Alaska natives
➡️➡️African American/Black communities
➡️➡️LGBTQ+ communities
➡️➡️People serving in the military
➡️➡️People with mental health conditions
