Great American Smokeout (2), 2009

Tomorrow (November 19th, 2009) is the Great American Smokeout 2009 – a day on which smokers across the country are encouraged to try to go the whole day without using any tobacco - and then to consider staying that way. The American Cancer Society have produced a series of tips on quitting smoking, which can be accessed at:
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/subsite/greatamericans/content/Help_Is_Available.asp

If there is a specific topic you want to know more about then I'd recommend using the search box at the right to find it.

There is usually a reasonable amount of media activity encouraging people to quit smoking and there is a national peak in quit attempts on this day. It is therefore an excellent day for smokers who have been contemplating quitting to have a go. If you are a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know that we’ve previously given a lot of advice on methods for stopping smoking.
Best of luck.
