Join the Great American Smokeout!

Nov 8, 2023

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 November 16th be your day to start your journey toward a smoke-free life. Quitting smoking is not easy, but you can do it. To have the best chance of quitting and remaining smoke-free, you need to know what you’re up against, what your options are, and where to go for help.

How to participate!

  1. Make a plan. Learn about options to curb cravings and get your support system ready to help you through hard times. If you’re trying to help someone else quit, check out some ways to ensure you’re doing it the right way.
  2. Get rid of anything smoking-related. It’s the perfect day to remove all smoking-related items from your home. Remove all cigarettes, ashtrays, and lighters from your car and workplace as well. Also consider stocking up on substitutes like gum and crunchy snacks.
  3. Reflect on your smoking past. If you’ve tried to quit before, the Great American Smoke out is a good time to reflect on your past attempts. Think about why those attempts didn’t work, and go back to the drawing board for the next time around. Every Quit Counts! Think of them as building blocks.
