2024 Tips from Former Smokers!

The individuals below are living with or caring for someone with smoking-related diseases and disabilities. These diseases and disabilities changed the quality of their lives — some dramatically — including how they eat, dress, and handle daily tasks they once loved doing.

They speak from personal experience and have agreed to share their stories to send a single, powerful message: Quit smoking now. Or better yet — don’t ever start.

The Tips From Former Smokers campaign features real people suffering as a result of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke.
