Newsroom
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is continuing Tips From Former Smokers® (Tips®), the national tobacco education ad campaign featuring real people living with the effects of smoking-related diseases or exposure to secondhand smoke. The Tips campaign began in 2012 as the first national campaign sponsored and funded by a federal agency with the goal of educating the public about the harmful effects of smoking and encouraging quitting. The commercials in the Tips campaign show how smoking-related illnesses have forever changed the lives of everyday people.
