Today Marks Great American Smokeout
The Great
American Smokeout is being held today and is one day of the year when all
people are urged to put down their cigarettes.
The
awareness day is held on the third Thursday of November, and is Sponsored by
the American Cancer Society.
Tobacco
use is the most preventable cause of death in America, thus the Great American
Smokeout is the one day when all you smokers should take a good look at your
life and decide whether or not you want to continue putting yourself at risk of
cancer.
Not only
does smoking put your health at risk, but the health of those around you is
also compromised due to the harmful effects of second hand smoke.
The Great
American Smokeout began way back in the 70’s and has been a fixture ever since,
and this year marks its 34th anniversary.
