Today’s the Day: It’s Time to Quit Smoking!

Today, November 17th, is the American Cancer Society‘s Great National Smokeout.

Related to this event, self-reported data are available by school district on youth who smoke cigarettes, as are data on children who are affected by second-hand smoke.

As you may know, smoking cigarettes is the primary cause of preventable death in the United States. It causes cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illness. Take action today by finding resources for you – and for youth across California – on smoking cessation.
