Recognizing Lung Cancer Awareness Month and the Great American Smokeout 

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and November 19 is the Great American Smokeout. Many smokers want to quit but have difficulty succeeding, and tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States. Talk to your patients about quitting and recommend appropriate Medicare-covered preventative services, including counseling to prevent tobacco use and lung cancer screening.
