Today is the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout. For the last 40 years smokers across the country have set today as their day to quit or to make a plan to quit for good.

Few things are harder to do than quitting smoking, but planning makes it possible.

Check out some tips for quitting.

Of course it's not just smokers who need to worry about tobacco's harmful effects. It's also our state's casinos workers.

We need to make sure every worker in Iowa can celebrate next year's Great American Smokeout in a smoke-free workplace.

Here's to making a plan, sticking to it, and kicking the addiction. Share this story and help us #changethoddsIA for casino workers and smokers alike.
