For college students, “smoking out” may have a slightly different interpretation than the American Cancer Society intended. Today is the 33rd annual Great American Smokeout but it’s not the 4/20 experience that it sounds like.
 

Instead, the American Cancer Society promotes this day as a way to help people quit smoking. The Smokeout was created to encourage people to make a long-term plan to stop smoking for good. The organization offers free resources like the Quitline (1-800-227-2345) to help smoker’s with this important quest.
 

Studies have shown that 45.3 million Americans who smoke have attempted to quit for at least one day, so make today the day you start to make a change. And even though the name is misleading, give it a try.
 

Don’t worry, we’re just talking about cigarettes not the other kind of smokeouts.
