Health Department Sets Up Great American Smokeout Table at the Easton Library Nov. 10

EASTON, MARYLAND — The Talbot County Health Department will staff a table in the lobby of the Talbot County Free Library's Easton branch, 100 W. Dover St., from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Health department staff will encourage people to take the 24-hour Great American Smokeout challenge, according to the library's listing. The American Cancer Society holds the Smokeout on the third Thursday in November, which this year is Nov. 19.

The cancer society says people do not have to stop smoking in one day, and that counseling and medications together can double or even triple the chances of quitting.

For local information on smoking cessation, the health department's number is 410-819-5600. The American Cancer Society's line is 1-800-227-2345.
