The Great American Smokeout will be celebrated on Thursday, November 15, is a national smoking cessation event with roots in Minnesota. In 1974, Lynn R. Smith, editor of the Monticello Times, spearheaded the state's first D-Day, or Don't Smoke Day. The idea quickly spread and three years later, the first national Great American Smokeout was held. The American Lung Association of Minnesota is coordinating an event at the University of Minnesota-Duluth campus.
