Great American Smokeout Day

Great American Smokeout Day is an annual event initiated by the American Cancer Society in 1977 that encourages smokers to take the first step toward quitting tobacco. Held on the third Thursday of November, this day is a powerful reminder of the health risks associated with smoking and the benefits of quitting. It’s an opportunity for communities to support individuals in their journey to a smoke-free life by providing resources, encouragement, and information on cessation programs.

Equip your community with materials that promote tobacco-free living and empower those ready to make this life-changing decision. By working together, we can help reduce tobacco’s impact on public health.
