The American Cancer Society marks the annual Great American Smokeout each year to encourage smokers to use the day to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance to quit smoking that day. The Great American Smokeout is recognized around the nation as a day to encourage quitting tobacco—even for one day—and raise awareness around quitting tobacco as an important step toward a healthier life and reducing cancer risk. Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of disease and premature death in Washington County and the U.S.
