(FOX Providence) - Thursday, November 16 is The Great American Smokeout , it's a day dedicated to helping people quit smoking. And Brown University has actually started a website to help local people do just that.

According to Dr. Chris Kahler, a professor at Brown University , it takes on average, four to six times of serious quit attempts before a person can quit smoking for good.

There are a lot of resources available for people who want to quit smoking, and one new way is through a local website.

Quitwithbrown.org is a comphehensive quit-smoking website that smokers or family and friends of smokers can go to get information about programs at Brown University Center, in Rhode Island and nationally.
