Great American Smokeout

The Great American Smokeout is an annual event in the United States to encourage Americans (of whom 45.8 million smoke) to quit tobacco smoking. The American Cancer Society held its first Smokeout in 1977. The event challenges people not to smoke cigarettes for 24 hours, hoping their decision to quit will last forever. It is held annually on the third Thursday in November.

How many of you are willing to do this for the day (if you are still smoking that is)?  I have friends out there, and you know who you are, that still smoke, or restarted smoking.  Well my smoking friends, are you up to the challenge?

Let's hear about your efforts to stop smoking for a couple of hours, the whole day, permanently.  I have faith that you can take the time to get the help you need for the challenge.  Taking a stand, because I care about your health.  Encourage your smoking family members to join you in this important challenge.

Hugs, Kathy
