Quitting smoking isn’t easy. It takes time. And a plan. You don’t have to stop smoking in one day. Start with day one. Let the Great American Smokeout event on the third Thursday in November be your day to start your journey toward a smoke-free life. You’ll be joining thousands of people who smoke across the country in taking an important step toward a healthier life and reducing your cancer risk. Plus, the American Cancer Society can help you access the resources and support you need to quit.

💜 November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month 💜

Pancreatic cancer is one of the hardest cancers to detect early, and many people don’t experience symptoms until the disease is advanced. Raising awareness can help support earlier detection, research, and hope for better outcomes.

Know the signs:
• Abdominal or back pain
• Unexplained weight loss
• Loss of appetite
• New-onset diabetes
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes)

This month, we honor the fighters, remember those we’ve lost, and stand with families and caregivers.
Early awareness saves lives.
