Commit to Quit on November 21, 2002!

The Great American Smokeout is held every year to help smokers quit cigarettes for at least one day, in hopes they will quit forever.

The American Cancer Society organized the first Great American Smokeout in 1977, when smokers tried to quit for one day to prove that they could do it.

Each year, more Americans try to quit smoking on the day of the Great American Smokeout than any other day of the year, including New Year's Day!

 

As times have changed, the focus of the Great American Smokeout has evolved from simply helping adults quit smoking to helping children and teenagers understand they should never start smoking in the first place. The Great American Smokeout is also a time for Americans to renew their commitment to a smoke-free environment for themselves and for their children.

For more information about community-based activities planned for the Great American Smokeout, contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345.
