The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the first-ever federally paid national tobacco education campaign—Tips From Former Smokers® (Tips®) – in March 2012. The Tips campaign profiles real people living with serious long-term health effects from smoking and secondhand smoke exposure. Tips also features compelling stories of the toll these smoking-related conditions have taken on family members.
