Great American Smokeout 2028

The Great American Smokeout, the American Cancer Society's annual quit-smoking campaign, takes place on the third Thursday of November and invites people who smoke to make the day their turning point. The idea is simple and powerful: quit for the day and set a plan to quit for good, tackling one of the most preventable causes of serious illness and death. Around the observance, hospitals, workplaces, colleges, health departments, and community organizations across the country hold free events, resource fairs, and support activities to help people take that first step. The American Cancer Society provides free quit resources, including its Empowered to Quit program and a 24/7 helpline. Everything is free and open to everyone, whether you want to quit smoking yourself or support a friend or loved one who does.
