We can WIN the fight AGAINST Tobacco

My Community, My Health

In partnership with WYLN (Westshore Young Leaders) we are promoting “My Community, My Health” and Kick Butt’s Day on March 20, 2019 to help people quit tobacco.

The fight against tobacco is about saving lives. It’s also about taking on the tobacco industry, which targets kids and deceives people in order to sell its deadly and addictive products.

Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death in the United States and around the world. It causes terrible and deadly diseases, including many forms of cancer, heart disease and emphysema (a lung disease that makes it hard to breathe). In fact, the U.S. Surgeon General has found that tobacco use damages nearly every organ in the human body.

We know how to win the fight against tobacco by doing three things:

· Prevent kids from starting to smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products;

· Help current tobacco users quit; and

· Protect everyone from harmful secondhand smoke.

By getting involved in Kick Butts Day on March 20, 2019, America’s youth can raise awareness about the tobacco problem, encourage peers to be tobacco-free and support effective solutions to reduce tobacco use.

Quitting starts here.
