ACS offers support for people to successfully quit tobacco and commit to healthier living.
No matter your age or how long you’ve been smoking, quitting improves health both immediately and over the long term. ACS is encouraging people who smoke to start day one of their journey to a smoke-free life on the Great American Smokeout on Thursday, Nov. 21. This year will mark the 49th year of the Great American Smokeout, held on the third Thursday of November.
ACS developed Empowered to Quit, an email-based smoking cessation program, which can be a support tool for this annual campaign. Empowered to Quit helps people who smoke to select a quit date, understand and manage their cravings, regulate symptoms of withdrawal, and set reminders of why they chose to quit smoking. Participants receive tailored emails and tools designed for every step of their journey.
Additional resources and information about quitting are available on cancer.org/GASO.
Updated assets have been developed this year for use in workplaces, health systems, and other community settings promoting Great American Smokeout quit events. Materials include downloadable social media images and flyers for the Veteran and LGBTQ+ populations. A co-brandable table card for ACS partners is also available. All materials can be found on cancer.org/GASO.
