Help Patients Quit: Tips from Former Smokers Campaign
Check out the Tips from Former Smokers Campaign, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The campaign profiles real people – not actors – living with serious long-term health problems resulting from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.
The new ads raise awareness about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression and anxiety, dual use of cigarettes and electronic cigarettes, heart disease and cancer. The ads will run for 20 weeks nationally on TV, on the radio, in magazines, and online. The Tips website offers a wide array of tools and resources for working with patients to help them quit smoking.
