Great American Smokeout Reminder

On November 17, 2005, the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout® will celebrate its 29th year of helping smokers quit smoking forever. For nearly three decades, the Society has designated the third Thursday of November as a day for smokers to resolve to kick the deadly habit of smoking. This year, the South Atlantic Division is proud to offer a whole new way to encourage others to stop smoking, www.QuitForYou.org.

From this website, you can:

Follow the journey of a smoker from your state as they chronicle what it’s like to quit smoking.
Post a comment as a word of encouragement to them.
Send an e-card to family, friends, co-workers or legislators.
Link to www.cancer.org for tips that can make it easier to quit.
Go to the Clean Indoor Air section, which explains what lawmakers are doing to lessen the impact of tobacco in each community.
Join ACS CAN (Cancer Action Network) to get involved in advocacy efforts.
View the press center, a resource for media contacts.
Access other materials to participate in the Great American Smokeout®.

Please help us spread the word about www.QuitForYou.org and the Great American Smokeout!®

Forward this email to friends, family, volunteers, co-workers, and more.
Log in and see for yourself everything the site has to offer.
Send an e-card to someone you know to support them in their effort to quit.

Grassroots communication is the key to our success in this campaign this year. Help us spread the word. Thank you for your support.
