November 17 - The Great American Smokeout®. New CDC Feature Article Encourages Participation in the Great American Smokeout® and Promotes Free Quit Tools and Resources to Improve Chances of Quitting Smoking.
Thousands of Americans are expected to participate in the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout®. A new CDC Feature Article (available in English and Spanish) encourages people who smoke to join in the November 17th event. The article provides quit tips and offers free quit tools and resources to help people who smoke quit successfully. Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States. Quitting smoking is not easy, but it has health benefits at any age, no matter how long or how much someone has smoked. The good news is we know what works best to help people quit smoking successfully—and there are more free tools and resources than ever to help. Check out CDC Tobacco Free Facebook and Twitter for shareable content.
