Every year, on the third Thursday of November, smokers across the nation take part in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. They may use the date to make a plan to quit, or plan in advance and then quit smoking that day. The Great American Smokeout event challenges people to stop using to***co and helps people know about the many tools they can use to help them quit and stay quit.

The RWU Community is invited to participate in this national event. It's never too late to quit!!!
