DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Bruce Barcelo joined the Living Dayton team 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 it is important to have a plan to quit, rather than just going cold turkey.
He shared resources, like the Ohio Quit Line, which provides individual counseling and up to 8 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy. The Ohio quit line is 1-800-QUIT-NOW, or 1-800-784-8669.
Bruce said with vaping coming into the picture, a younger population has been affected by nicotine as well as the many chemicals found in vapes.
