Great American Smokeout : ウィキペディア英語版 | Great American Smokeout The Great American Smokeout is an annual social engineering event on the third Thursday of November by the American Cancer Society.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Great American Smokeout )〕 The event encourages Americans, of whom 43.8 million smoke as of ,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/adult_data/cig_smoking/ )〕 to stop tobacco smoking. The event challenges people to stop smoking cigarettes for 24 hours, hoping their decision not to smoke will last forever. ==History== The first Great American Smokeout was held in San Francisco's Union Square on November 16, 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/vso71e00;jsessionid=1821F8B1C062F979226198A5B1E6DC37 )〕 The event evolved from a series of smaller-scale initiatives. In 1970, in Randolph, Massachusetts, Arthur P. Mullaney suggested people give up cigarettes for a day and donate the money to a local high school. In 1974, a "Don't Smoke Day" (or "D-Day") was promoted by Lynn R. Smith of the ''Monticello Times'' in Monticello, Minnesota.〔 On November 18, 1976, the California Division of the American Cancer Society successfully prompted nearly one million smokers to quit for the day. That California event marked the first Smokeout.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tobaccofreeu.org/programming/collegiate-smokeout.asp )〕 The name has resulted in some confusion due to colloquial usage of the term ''smokeout'', which, (among other things), suggests an activity centered on a large amount of solo or group smoking.
