Great American Smokeout

Call 1-855-quit-vet for help with developing a plan to quit tobacco

By Anna Quinn, Public Affairs Officer

The Great American Smokeout is November 20.

The campaign this year is Quit like a Pro. How can you do that? By making use of all VA's tobacco use treatment resources. There is a long history of smoking and other tobacco use in the military. Many Veterans used tobacco while they served, particularly during deployment. Now seven out of every 10 Veterans who smoke would like to quit—for both the physical benefits and their mental health.

If you’re one of those Veterans, or if the Veteran in your life is trying to quit, you’ve come to the right place. VA offers resources for making a quit plan and sticking to it.
