The Great American Smokeout was initiated by the American Cancer
Society in 1976 as a day devoted to helping millions of Americans kick
the tobacco habit for at least one day. It is observed on the third
Thursday of November which is November the 19th this year. Smokers are
asked to not smoke for 24 hours. This has become the day that more
smokers try to quit than any other day of the year including New Year's
Day.
According to U.S. Surgeon General, David Satcher, tobacco use is
the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. More that
400,000 U.S. adults die every
year from tobacco-related illnesses, including lung cancer and heart disease.
Dr. Jeffrey Koplan, director of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, has said that smokers today have a number of resources
available to improve their ability to quit and today, more than ever,
smokers have a reason to quit.
The Arkansas Tobacco Quitline is offered by merely calling
1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669). It is confidential and free. An
expert Quit Coach works with each person to create a tailored quit
plan. If you have questions about the Quitline or other cessation
resources available in Arkansas, contact the Arkansas Department of
Health, Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program at 501-661-2953.
This could be the first day of a life without tobacco.
