"Did You Know?" - April 12, 2013

April 12, 2013 Smoking-related illness in the United States costs $96 billion in medical costs and $97 billion in lost productivity each year. CDC is building on the success of the Tips From Former Smokers campaign with a new round of advertisements in April 2013. The ads will continue to raise awareness of the negative health effects of smoking, including secondhand smoke. You can use Tips resources—including stories from smokers, content for specific groups, matte articles, and more—to promote the campaign and encourage smokers to quit.
