REMINDER: YOU CAN HOST A GREAT AMERICAN SMOKE-OUT EVENT

The Great American Smokeout is an annual event in the United States
to encourage Americans (of whom 45.8 million smoke) to quit tobacco
smoking. It was first held in 1977, and is sponsored by the American
Cancer Society. Its spokesman is Smokey Robinson. The event
challenges people not to smoke cigarettes for 24 hours, hoping it
will last forever.

It is held on the third Thursday in November, one week before
Thanksgiving. In 2007 the 31st Great American Smokeout will be held
on November 15.

This is a great opportunity to promote your services as a smoking
cessation expert!
