It's been going on every year since 1977 on the third Thursday in November. The Great American Smokeout is a one-day campaign that asks smokers to stop smoking, just for one day. Of course, the hope is that the one day will lead to more and people will quit smoking entirely. The effectiveness of this one day anti-smoking push is debatable, but the support offered has grown annually and lasts year-round. Basically, if you want to quit smoking these people are going to try to find a way that works for you.

If you'd like to quit, donate to the cause, or just participate in the event, check out their website and the Great American Smokeout events going on in your area.
