According to the CDC, 70% of tobacco users want to quit. So, who do you know that needs support to quit tobacco?
Whether it’s a parent, coworker, or even yourself, quitting tobacco can feel overwhelming. But with the right support, it’s possible.
Tobacco addiction, especially to nicotine, can feel more overpowering than other addictions, but there’s hope. The Great American Smokeout (GASO) (TobaccoFreeLancasterCounty.org/GASO), hosted by the American Cancer Society for over 40 years, is the perfect time to take the next step—whether you’re just starting or continuing your quit journey. With free support available from 1-800-QUIT-NOW and other local resources, you can join others in experiencing a tobacco-free life.
You can be the one to offer encouragement because no one should have to walk this journey alone. We all have a role in building a tobacco-free community. Individuals, businesses, and community members can work together to create healthier environments. For employers, supporting tobacco cessation means caring for the well-being of your workforce, leading to a healthier, more productive team.
Wherever you are in your journey, we want you to feel seen and supported. Every attempt at quitting tobacco matters, and each step brings you closer to a tobacco-free life. Whether you’re ready to quit or looking to help someone else, November 21 could be the start of something great.
Join us at TobaccoFreeLancasterCounty.org/GASO to access resources, claim your free quit kit, and help build a healthier community.
