The American Cancer Society is marking the 35th Great American Smokeout on November 18th by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day.

By doing so, smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life – one that can lead to reducing cancer risk. To have the best chance of quitting successfully, you need to know what you're up against, what your options are, and where to go for help.
