Great American Smokeout
Quitting smoking or vaping isn't easy. It takes time and a plan. You don't have to stop in one day. Start with day one.
Start With Day One
The Great American Smokeout takes place on the third Thursday in November. Let it be your day to start your journey toward a smoke-free life.
Yellowhawk Tribal Tobacco Prevention Program invites all community members to take a healthy risk and make a 24-hour commitment to not use commercial tobacco products. This isn't just a minor step in your journey to be a healthier you — it is a big step toward making our community a healthier place for all. We understand this step may not be easy. Yellowhawk will be here to support you now and throughout your journey to quitting commercial tobacco products completely.
You'll be joining thousands of people across the country in taking an important step toward a healthier life. The American Cancer Society can also help you access the resources and support you need to quit.

Why It Matters
Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in our society.
Commercial tobacco use can harm your life as well as the lives of those around you. Tobacco use increases your risk not only for cancer, but also heart disease, bronchitis, emphysema, and stroke, and it contributes to the severity of colds and pneumonia.
Taking part in the Great American Smokeout is an opportunity to focus on your health, learn about the support available to you, and take a meaningful first step.
Yellowhawk Can Help
You do not have to make this change alone. Yellowhawk Tribal Tobacco Prevention Program is here to support you now, when you are ready to quit, and throughout your journey toward quitting commercial tobacco completely.
