SWAT News
November 15th is The Great American Smokeout. Get ready to lose the habit, and become victorious over tobacco. The American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout event is your chance to triumph over addiction. Every November, we set aside the third Thursday to encourage smokers to go the distance, and to finally give up smoking.

About 42 million Americans still smoke cigarettes, and tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. As of 2013, there were also 12.4 million cigar smokers in the US, and over 2.3 million who smoke tobacco in pipes – other dangerous addictive forms of tobacco.

By quitting – even for one day – you will be taking an important step toward a healthier life – one that can lead to reducing your cancer risk. It’s a race for your health, and it starts today. Today’s the day that quitters win.

The winners of the SWAT Great American Smokeout Contest are:
1st Place: Hannah Erwig
2nd Place: Nikki Allison
3rd Place: Danielle Boyle
