The Tips from Former Smokers campaign

Center for Diseases Control (CDC) this week launched the Tips from Former Smokers campaign. This campaign features real people suffering as a result of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. All stories are real and send a powerful message:

Quit smoking now. Or better yet — don’t start.
