 Smoking is responsible for nearly one in five debts in the U.S. More than eight million people live with serious illness caused by smoking. Even with all these statistics, more than 55 million Americans still choose to use tobacco products. The American Cancer Society designated the third Thursday of November as the Great American Smokeout. I think it's important for the Navy to recognize the Great American Smokeout because it's still the leading cause of cancer in the world. The Great American Smokeout is just an attempt to solidify the readiness of the Navy and maintain that healthy standing that we have.
