(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Despite all the publicity about the dangers of smoking, many Americans haven’t given up their cigarettes. And thousands of kids start smoking every day.

The American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout on Nov. 17, 2011 is an attempt to change those two realities. The society is asking smokers to use that day to make a plan to quit. Or even to quit smoking just on that day.

“The main message for tobacco users is this: It’s never too late to quit,” says Corinne Husten, M.D., MPH, a senior medical advisor at FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products.
