The goal of this special day is simple: to get people to quit smoking, resulting in fewer health problems, and  less cancer and emphysema deaths resulting from smoking and secondary smoke.

To quit smoking is not easy.  Most often, it takes repeated efforts. That’s okay, as long as you keep trying until you finally succeed. The health benefits, and the prospect of a longer life are crystal clear.

The American Cancer Society encourages all smokers to give up the “butt” today. Join millions of other Americans today and take a big step to a happier, healthier, longer life.

How did the Great American Smokeout Day begin?  The American Cancer Society created this day in 1977 and has done it every year since.  The goal is that someday, this special day will no longer be needed.
