DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Bruce Barcelo from the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services joined us to talk about the Great American Smokeout.
According to Bruce, the third Thursday of every November is set aside as a day to encourage smokers to make an attempt to quit. This day is called the Great American Smokeout.
Bruce shared that although the number is decreasing, around 40 million Americans are smokers.
