Smoking can put you at increased risk for many health conditions, including severe illness from the coronavirus. Help protect yourself by quitting tobacco; the Great American Smokeout is Nov. 19.
For more than 40 years, the American Cancer Society has hosted this event for people to commit to healthy, smoke-free lives. As the single most preventable cause of death and illness in the world, smoking can be difficult to quit. But the benefits are real, including better breathing, lower blood pressure and heart rate, and reduced risk of cancer.
