Today, November 20th is the Great American Smoke Out (GASO) Day. Earlier today a group of advocates gathered at Little Rock City Hall for a 10:00 a.m. press conference to commemorate the annual day of observance.

Purpose: The Great American Smokeout Day is a national event that encourages people who smoke to commit to quitting—even if just for one day. Held annually on the third Thursday of November, it raises awareness about the health risks of smoking and promotes resources and support for long-term cessation. It's a powerful moment to take the first step toward a smoke-free future.
