CDC Celebrates 10 Years of Tips From Former Smokers®

 

CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) announces the launch of the 2021Tips From Former Smokers® (Tips®) campaign. Now entering its 10th year, the campaign profiles real people living with serious long-term health effects from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure. The campaign also features compelling stories of the toll these smoking-related conditions have taken on family members. The campaign encourages people who smoke to call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for free help to quit.

A new feature article on CDC.gov called, “10 Years of Tips,” shares how the campaign has inspired more than one million Americans to quit smoking cigarettes for good. It also includes useful resources, whether you are trying to quit or you’re supporting a loved one in their quit journey. A Spanish translation of the feature article will be available later this month.
