2008 seems to be choose your own date. I did a google search and found some places featuring October 27th, November 11th, 13th and 20th. No two had the same date and the CDC site mentions no smokeout or date at all.

Thursday, November 18, 2004 will be the Great American Smokeout. Mark the date and try to give up the cigarettes!

Come on, you have to psych yourself up just to quit for an hour. See how strong your will power can be when tested; give it a day or give it forever. Take the challenge, do it for yourself and all the other people in your life will benefit.
