The Great American Smokeout

Nov 17, 2022 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness |

Follow and join the conversation with #GreatAmericanSmokeout.

According to The American Cancer Society (@AmericanCancer), “Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, accounting for 29% of all cancer deaths. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women.” For more than 40 years, the American Cancer Society has hosted the Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November. The Great American Smokeout event challenges people to stop smoking and helps people learn about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit. To support the cause we have pulled together some tips, resources and information about the effects of smoking and how to quit.

There’s an App for That – Craving To Quit!

About 1 in 10 Americans smoke (34 million), and studies show that 70% of them want to quit–but, only 10% succeed. Craving To Quit is a 21-day program based on a successful smoking cessation program developed and tested at Yale University. It is an evidenced-based, digital therapeutic developed by psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Jud Brewer MD PhD who is an addiction specialist. The app provides daily instruction through playlists of audio and video tracks, goal-setting tools, and daily reminders.

1-800-QUIT-NOW: 15 Years of Helping People Quit

1-800-QUIT-NOW is the national portal to a network of state quitlines. Quitlines offer evidence-based support—like counseling, referrals to local programs, and free medication—to people who want to quit tobacco. Quitlines went nationwide in 2004, when CDC (@CDCgov) and the National Cancer (NCI) launched the National Network of Tobacco Cessation Quitlines. Since its launch, 1-800-QUIT-NOW has received more than 10 million calls.

Next week is the #GreatAmericanSmokeout! Start preparing and make your quit plan today. For free help with quitting, call 1-800-QUIT NOW (1-800-784-8669), text Ready to 200-400 or visit https://t.co/ktTuX4EnNY. pic.twitter.com/wBtAYqDc88
