Coming Soon:

The Great American Smoke-out Day:

Two weeks from today is the third Thursday in November, 11/18, the next Great American Smoke-out Day sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

This special day is so named with the aim that people will not smoke or use any other tobacco products for just one day, and then try to quit all the tobacco products for good. It is also hoped that the quitters will be successful their whole live in abstaining from Tobacco products.

According to the American Cancer Society people who stop smoking before age 50 can cut their risk of death in the next 15 years in half compared with those who still continue to smoke.

Smokers who quit also reduce their risk of lung cancer – ten years after quitting, the lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker’s. Some of the health effects of quitting are almost instant, too like heart rate and blood pressure drop immediately 20 minutes after quitting smoking and using tobacco products.

This is going to be my third GASOD that I will be smoke free!
