The Great American Smokeout is an annual event typically held on the third Thursday of November. Organized by the American Cancer Society, it is an initiative that encourages smokers to make a commitment and a plan to quit. The event has become a platform to raise awareness of the dangers of smoking and promote the benefits of living a smoke-free lifestyle. With the increased use of electronic cigarettes and vape devices among youth, it is as important as ever to raise awareness of the health risks associated with smoking.
