The event not only challenged people to stop using tobacco, but helped individuals learn about the many tools available to help them quit and stay quit.
The event was a way to bring awareness of the dangers of tobacco use.
It showed those who want to quit smoking that there is help available. For example, there is a number people can text at any time in case they need help. You can text "Quit" to 706-222-QUIT. CBC also has "Quit kits" that students can use as motivation or reminders.
The event was held as a way to help everyone out there who needed it. Ann Wright, Human Resources Consultant at CBC, says making a change to people's lives is a rewarding experience. "We've had people that say I want to quit tobacco or I have quit a few months ago and they still make a pledge to document their quit date.so we have them fill out a pledge card and then they keep that card as a reminder." A reminder to quit an addiction.
The Great American Smokeout at CBC also encouraged those who don't smoke, to quit something they use or do on a daily basis that negatively affects their health.
