Every year, on the third Thursday of November, tobacco users across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout (GASO) event. This day is intended to encourage someone you know to use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance to quit using tobacco that day. By quitting – even for 1 day – tobacco users will be taking an important step toward a healthier life and reducing their cancer risk.
