Get ready for the Great American Smokeout! 

This year’s Great American Smokeout is Thursday, Nov. 16.   

Do you want to quit smoking (or chewing) tobacco, or do you know someone who does?  Chances are you do.  About 85 percent of adult tobacco users in Colorado say they want to quit.   

Start small by quitting just for the day of the Great American Smokeout.  On November 16, join thousands of people across the country who are giving up smoking for one day, preparing to quit for good. 

Prepare for the Great American Smokeout now: 

Call the Colorado QuitLine (800-QUIT NOW) to speak to a trained coach, receive information on drug therapies, request self-help quitting materials, and receive free nicotine replacement patches! 

Log on to the Colorado QuitNet (www.co.quitnet.com) for expert advice, quitting tips, and peer support.   

Call the Broomfield Tobacco Education and Prevention Partnership (BTEPP) at 720-887-2276 to obtain a free Quit Kit and the Broomfield County Quit Smoking Guide.
