November 16th 2006 is the day to give up smoking - well it is if you are in the USA.

November 16th is the day when over one million people will kick cigarette smoking into touch. Started in 1976 when the California Division of the American Cancer Society successfully prompted nearly one million smokers to quit for the day, the Great American Smokeout is the time when you can stop yourself, or if you’re not stopping just now, help your family, friends and neighbors to stop the smoking habit.

If you think it’s time to stop, then get further help and details from the American Cancer Society here:
