The American Cancer Society (ACS) marked its 37th Great American Smokeout last week by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day.
According to ACS, by committing to quitting - even for one day - smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life, one that can lead to reducing cancer risk.
For the technology-savvy smoker, there are reinforcements via social media and smart phones. Smokers can “like” the American Cancer Society Facebook page, along with thousands of others, and join a community of supporters.
Badges and icons are available for smokers with statements like “I'm a Quitter” to post to profile pictures and timelines in support. Supporters of quitters have options such as “I'm married to a Quitter” or “I love a Quitter” to show their love and support.
