The people who protect America can spend one day doing something to protect themselves. One segment of the population that uses tobacco at particularly high rates is 18- to 24-year-old enlisted personnel. Quit Tobacco--Make Everyone Proud, the U.S. Department of Defense's tobacco cessation campaign, encourages active-duty military members and their loved ones to participate in the Great American Smokeout on November 19, 2009, and to quit for the day. An award-winning Web site, www.ucanquit2.org, is headquarters for the Quit Tobacco--Make Everyone Proud campaign. There, young people in the military contemplating quitting can find resources and innovative high-tech tools to support their efforts. Family and friends can encourage smokers to quit and send entertaining Great American Smokeout e-cards. Quit Tobacco--Make Everyone Proud offers information and advice about quitting for one day--or for good. My Quit Space features personalized support that lets users create a customized quit plan, quit calendar and blog. Live chats with tobacco cessation coaches are available 8:30 a.m.−10 p.m. EST, seven days a week. For more information, visit www.ucanquit2.org.
