 Quitting smoking is not easy, but it can be done.
Here's where to go for help.

Not a smoker? 
You can also make a difference by increasing the number of smokefree
communities and states, and where appropriate, increasing tobacco taxes.

  • I CAN QUIT smoking and using other tobacco products or encourage someone I love to do so.

  • I CAN participate in a Smoke Out media event by contacting my local staff partner to find out if my community is hosting a media event to bring attention to important smoking-related issues.

  • I CAN get active in a tobacco campaign. To find out about what is happening in your state around the tobacco issue, visit www.acscan.org and select your state on the left hand scroll bar.

  • I CAN join ACS CAN to help elimate cancer as a major health problem by encouraging lawmakers and candidates to support laws and policies that will make cancer a top national priority.

More than 50% of cancer deaths could be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices like not smoking or using other tobacco products, maintaining a healthy body weight, getting regular physical activity, eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol consumption and getting cancer screening tests.
