The American Cancer Society has designated the third Thursday in November — this year, that would be Nov. 21 — as its annual “Great American Smokeout” day, when it beats the drums to let people know of the health benefits associated with quitting smoking.

A study released last week by Ball State University’s Global Health Institute said that more than half of all of Indiana’s smokers — and that’s a pretty good number — tried to quit smoking last year.
For those who still want to quit — and those who want to help them — the Centers for Disease Control offer a multitude of online resources to help.
