Florida Hospital Flagler holds “smokeout” to encourage smokers to quit
Florida Hospital Flagler hosted events in support of the American Cancer Society’s annual Great American Smokeout Nov. 21, for those trying to quit smoking.

Hospital staff handed attendees free turkey sandwiches as they encouraged smokers to quit “cold turkey,", according to the hospital.

The American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout is held annually on the third Thursday of November.

Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the U.S., but almost one out of every five Americans still smokes cigarettes, according to a press release.
