Great American Smokeout Day

Thursday, November 19, 2009

The Great American Smokeout is a day smokers are encouraged to stop smoking for the day (24 hours). The day is celebrated on the third Thursday of November, a week before Thanksgiving. This year, the Great American Smokeout will be celebrated on Thursday, November 19, 2009. We encourage everyone to take some sort of action; whether you smoke or not. Smokers may take action to not smoke at least for the day, and non smokers could send out the message of “Thank You for Not Smoking” to known smokers.

Youth are daily exposed to tobacco use through open retail advertising, influence of family members, other adults and youth who smoke. We encourage young people to join other youth across the country to say “No” to smoking; and make a commitment not to smoke. We are giving away free gifts to young people who make the commitment not to smoke at this time.

Please complete this statement in your own words, and remember to include your contact information in the space provided. Thanks for your participation.

I will not smoke and discourage smoking because…
