The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Tips from Former Smokers national tobacco education campaign has been heralded as a "best buy for public health." The 2012 campaign was responsible for approximately 100,000 smokers quitting permanently and preventing 17,000 premature deaths. How should cancer control professionals adapt this successful campaign to their state, regional and local audiences, while maintaining the campaign's fidelity, working within budget and abiding by CDC's rules and regulations? Learn from Jane Mitchko, MEd, Deputy Health Communications Branch Chief, from CDC's Office on Smoking and Health and have your questions answered. Learn more and register for the May 31st webinar.
