The Great American Smokeout November 20th!

Did you know that tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the
United States? Are you aware that each year smoking accounts for 438,000 premature deaths and that 38,000
nonsmokers die as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke (American Cancer Society Cancer Facts and
Figures 2007)?
Your organization can contribute to lowering the number of tobacco deaths by promoting the American
Cancer Society Great American Smokeout with a long-term plan to implement a smoke-free workplace policy.
Research shows that when the workplace implements a smoke-free policy, smokers are more likely to quit
smoking. In addition, a smoke-free policy within your organization will send a clear message to employees
and the community that you care about your employees’ health and safety.
Healthy employees live longer, feel better, are more content and productive, require less sick days, and help keep
health care costs down. Help your employees take another step toward good health – encourage your employees
to participate in the American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout.
