The Consequences of Smoking

Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, killing more than 480,000 Americans each year. Smoking causes immediate damage to your body, which can lead to long-term health problems. For every person who dies because of smoking, at least 30 people live with a serious smoking-related illness. The only proven strategy to protect yourself from harm is to never smoke, and if you do smoke or use tobacco products, to quit.

Real People, Real Stories

Example of a Tips ad featuring Shawn
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the first-ever federally funded national tobacco education campaign—Tips From Former Smokers (Tips) in March 2012. The Tips campaign, which profiles real people—not actors—who are living with serious long-term health problems from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, continues through 2016.
Since its launch, the Tips campaign has featured compelling stories of former smokers living with smoking-related diseases and disabilities and the toll these conditions have taken on them. The campaign has also featured nonsmokers who have experienced life-threatening health incidents as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke (smoke from burning tobacco products; also, smoke exhaled by smokers).
