The Great American Smokeout

It is a busy month already. Just thought I would give you a heads up in case you are not aware that Thursday, November 15, is the Great American Smokeout. For all of us in the smoking cessation business, this may be a great chance to get some free publicity and help the public. For those who are thinking about quiting, this might be a great quit date for you.

This event was started by the American Cancer Society in 1976 in California. Since then it has blossomed. Here is an interesting fact: only one in seven people have tried support (such as hypnosis, nicotine replacement, counseling, etc.) when quitting smoking.
