The Great American Smokeout is an annual event sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS). It is held on the 3rd Thursday of November.  This year, it is held on November 21st, 2024. This social engineering event focuses on encouraging Americans to quit tobacco smoking. People are challenged to stop smoking for at least 24 hours assuming that their decision not to smoke will last longer, hopefully forever. Today, more than 43 million people in the U.S. smoke cigarettes, that is about 1 in 5 adults.  Tobacco Free for Healthy NJ is providing resources to help you educate your community as well as direct them cessation services. Below are materials to help you prepare for the Great American Smokeout. 

SCHOOLS

School personnel are key partners in tobacco prevention as they have the attention of our youth.  The Great American Smokeout is a great opportunity to teach youth about the dangers of tobacco products. Below are some resources for schools. 

COALITIONS

Coalitions help implement  a comprehensive approach  to tobacco prevention by bringing  education, programs &  other resources to the community. The resources below will help you find best practices. 

PARENTS

When it comes to preventing teens from using tobacco or helping them quit, parents and other caring adults can take several steps. First, you can set an example & choose not to smoke or use other tobacco products. Modeling desirable behavior is the start of helping your child live a tobacco-free life. 

MERCHANTS

Merchants are the front line of defense in decreasing youth access. It is essential to follow the state law by not selling to those under 21. Below are some resources for merchants to comply with this law and support our communities. 

CESSATION

The Great American Smokeout is the perfect time to pick a quit date! Cessation resources and assistance can give an individual support as they quit using tobacco products.  There are many local, statewide and national options that will assist with your Quit Attempt.  Below are resources that can help you set yourself up for success!
