Great American Smokeout Set For Nov. 19
Quitting commercial tobacco and nicotine is one of the most impactful choices a person can make for their health and the well-being of their loved ones. That is why all Montanans are urged to mark their calendars for the Great American Smokeout on Thursday, Nov. 19.
For over 40 years, the Great American Smokeout has invited people who use commercial tobacco to take a single, achievable step: quit for just 24 hours. While 70 percent of people who smoke want to quit, looking at the entire road ahead can feel overwhelming. The key is shifting focus from “forever” to just today. Quitting one day at a time builds the momentum needed for long-term success.
On this Great American Smokeout, Daniels and Roosevelt counties encourage community members to take a 24-hour break from all commercial nicotine products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes/ vapes, and nicotine pouches.
You do not have to tackle this journey alone, and you do not have to figure it out all at once. Free, confidential, and proven resources are ready to support you step by step right here in Montana.
Let Nov. 19, be your “Day One.” Take it one day, one hour, and one craving at a time.
