Anti-Tobacco Campaign Expands

Week of March 31, 2008

The Department of Defense began its "Quit Tobacco. Make Everyone Proud" campaign in 13 U.S. metropolitan markets containing 28 major military installations. The "Quit Tobacco" campaign focuses its interactive website at www.ucanquit2.org by providing help to servicemembers wanting to quit tobacco use and those helping others quit. On the website, users can get information; develop a personalized plan for quitting; play games; listen to podcasts; connect to Federal, military, state, local and on-line cessation programs; and communicate privately with a trained cessation counselor seven days a week from 8:30 p.m.-2:30 a.m. (EST).
