(Undated) — You may have heard the saying “Quitting smoking isn’t easy.”
Thursday is all about encouraging people to quit smoking and providing support as part of the Great American Smokeout. The annual event is sponsored by the American Cancer Society.
Experts say quitting smoking can provide immediate and long-term benefits such as lowering heart rate and blood pressure and improving lung function. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the country.
