The Great American Smoke Out
November 18, 2021
FreeA single day of giving up tobacco can help you take the first step to a longer, healthier life. Let the Great American Smoke Out® event on Thursday, November 18th be your day to start your journey toward a tobacco-free life. On November 18th, join with other Montanans across the state and celebrate the Great American Smoke Out® by making that day the first day of your tobacco-free life.
The Great American Smoke Out® raises awareness about the deaths and chronic diseases caused by smoking. Around 26% of Montana adults still use tobacco, and tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. Every year, 1,600 Montanans die from smoking-related illness.
Quitting tobacco may seem impossible, but with a plan and the right support your chances of success increases. What better day to start than today? Call the Montana Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW to talk with our coaches about quitting.
