How to quit smoking may be easy to find, but staying away from the habit of smoking cigarettes is known to be incredibly difficult.

For those asking how to quit smoking and continue your life away from it, the Great American Smokeout, which will be happening on November 20 across the country, may be the answer for you this year.

By joining in on the Great American Smokeout to attempt to quit smoking, you'll reportedly see a reduction in your blood pressure and heart rate and the amount of carbon monoxide in your bloodstream normalize, all within the first 12 hours, according to the website Edwards Air Force Base.

As time passes, your circulation and lung function will reportedly improve substantially, and you'll decrease your risk for lung cancer, coronary heart disease and other serious health issues.

"Smoking is the major cause of lung cancer, contributing to 80 percent of lung cancer deaths in women and 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in mean," County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein said in a news release, according to Buffalo News.

Dr. Burstein continued, "Quitting smoking at any age will help reduce the health risks associated with tobacco use."

Statistics have reportedly shown that the majority of people who smoke want to find out how to quit smoking.

For those who are willing to make the commitment, the Great American Smokeout reportedly has four effective steps that'll help you get on the right track.
