Thursday marks the American Cancer Society’s 36th annual Great American Smokeout. On this day, smokers are encouraged to quit tobacco.

“North Dakota has a Quitline program readily available for those wanting to quit, but we must focus on prevention if we are serious about reducing smoking rates,” said Nancy Thoen of the Central Valley Health District. “The key to prevention is education.”
