November 21 is the Great American Smoke Out Day, a day when millions of Americans will take the first step in their nicotine and tobacco quit journey. Smoking is one of the leading preventable causes of cancer, cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. Quitting smoking significantly reduces your risk of future disease and dramatically improves your quality of life. Because quitting smoking or vaping alone can be challenging, RWJBarnabas Health Institute for Prevention and Recovery’s Nicotine and Tobacco Recovery Program can help. The free, 8-week program connects individuals to a certified tobacco treatment specialist who provides support and resources throughout the quit journey. The program is open to individuals of all ages throughout New Jersey. Learn more by visiting rwjbh.org/quitcenter. #LetsBeHealthyTogether #GreatAmericanSmokeout
