<\/p>\n
According to the American Cancer Society –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About 34 million American adults still smoke cigarettes, and smoking remains the single largest preventable cause of death and illness in the world. Smoking causes an estimated 480,000 deaths every year, or about 1 in 5 deaths.<\/p>\n
While the rates of cigarette smoking have declined over the past several decades, from 42% in 1965 to 14% in 2019, the gains have been inconsistent. Some groups smoke more heavily or at higher rates and suffer disproportionately from smoking-related cancer and other diseases.\u00a0These populations tend to be those who experience inequities in multiple areas of their lives, including those at lower socioeconomic levels, those without college degrees, American Indians\/Alaska natives, African American\/Black communities, LGBTQ communities, those in the military, those with behavioral health conditions, and others.<\/p>\n
No matter your age or how long you\u2019ve been smoking, quitting improves health both immediately and over the long term. Giving up smoking is a journey, and it can be hard, but you can increase your chances of success with a good plan and support. Getting help through counseling and medications doubles or even triples your chances of quitting successfully.<\/p><\/blockquote>","excerpt":"","slug":"great-american-smoke-out","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2022-11-17 09:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"11","day":"17","hour":"09","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2022-11-17 15:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"11","day":"17","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2022-11-17 17:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"11","day":"17","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2022-11-17 23:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2022","month":"11","day":"17","hour":"23","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Los_Angeles","timezone_abbr":"PST","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":2230,"author":"318","status":"publish","date":"2020-08-17 09:06:11","date_utc":"2020-08-17 16:06:11","modified":"2020-10-12 14:21:03","modified_utc":"2020-10-12 21:21:03","url":"https:\/\/www.spokanetribe.com\/venue\/wellpinit-school-district-2\/","venue":"Wellpinit High School","slug":"wellpinit-school-district-2","address":"6270 Ford Wellpinit Rd","city":"Wellpinit","province":"WA","zip":"99040","phone":"509-258-4535","stateprovince":"WA","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Wellpinit High School","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"6270 Ford Wellpinit Rd","addressLocality":"Wellpinit","addressRegion":"WA","postalCode":"99040"},"telephone":"509-258-4535","sameAs":""},"show_map":false,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"www.spokanetribe.com?id=2230","global_id_lineage":["www.spokanetribe.com?id=2230"]},"organizer":[{"id":17973,"author":"123","status":"publish","date":"2022-06-15 08:20:44","date_utc":"2022-06-15 15:20:44","modified":"2022-06-15 08:20:44","modified_utc":"2022-06-15 15:20:44","url":"https:\/\/www.spokanetribe.com\/organizer\/cameron-wynne\/","organizer":"Cameron Wynne","description":"
