Stop Tobacco-Related Diseases that Devastate Lives

Christine is hungry all the time, but she hasn't had a real meal in more than three years. After three bouts with oral cancer caused by smoking, Christine lost her jaw.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are killed by tobacco-related diseases, but an estimated 8.6 million more people in the United States live with serious illnesses attributed to smoking. Like Christine, their lives are irrevocably changed. Thousands struggle with the basic activities we take for granted, like simply enjoying a meal.

We can make sure that more people don't have to live with the consequences of tobacco-related disease. Help all Americans live longer, healthier lives by pledging now to:

- If you smoke, quit as soon as possible
- Give a teen you love the facts they need to know so they can make informed decisions about smoking
- Protect yourself and those you love from secondhand smoke
- Help a friend, neighbor or family member quit
