Gaining Freedom From Tobacco Use

  

 

 

In honor of Independence Day, the CDC has developed resources to help smokers become free from addiction to tobacco use and enjoy fuller, healthier lives.  

 

Each year, many people resolve to quit using tobacco products as of New Year's Day. If you're one of them, why wait? There's no time like the present! Use this 4th of July as an opportunity to declare your independence from tobacco use.  

 

Tobacco Products Are Designed for Addiction

The design and contents of tobacco products-including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco-make them addictive. They deliver more nicotine and deliver it quicker than ever before. Nicotine is the highly addictive drug in these products that keeps people smoking or using them even when they want to quit. And tobacco companies are still using different techniques to make many cigarette brands taste less harsh-especially brands that young people often use when they start smoking.

 

Odds Are in Your Favor: Keep Trying to Quit

Quitting tobacco use is harder for some people than others. Despite this challenge, more than half of all adults who ever smoked have succeeded in quitting. If you are trying to quit or considering it, keep with it! It may take several attempts before you successfully beat the addiction, but you can do it. Don't give up! Contact us now!

 

Take action today to declare your independence from tobacco use.
