November 19, 2009 marks the 34th Annual Great American Smokeout. During this day Americans from coast to coast will try to give up cigarettes for 24 hours.
Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and affecting the health of not only the smoker but all of those around them. Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long-term benefits. Take a few minutes to make the decision to be smoke-free on November 19th and every day after.
But also remember, smoking is tough to do alone. Smokers are more successful in quitting when they have support from family and friends and use nicotine replacement products, prescription medication or read stop-smoking guides.
If you smoke ask your healthcare provider for recommendations.
