We invite Berks County residents who smoke to participate, joining thousands of people from across the country who will quit smoking for just one day.

You don’t have to stop smoking in one day. Start with day one. Let the Great American Smoke Out event on the third Thursday in November be your day to start your journey toward a smoke-free life. – American Cancer Society
