SITES FOR QUITTING TOBACCO

The Great American Smokeout takes place every year in November to encourage smokers quit for at least one day, in hopes they will quit forever. Since 1977 communities have offered cessation classes, 'cold turkey' lunches, and more to support quitters during the Smokeout.
