New Tools to Quit Tobacco

Week of December 22, 2008

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and TRICARE are offering new innovative online tools to help servicemembers keep their New Year's resolutions to quit tobacco. The DoD-sponsored educational campaign, Quit Tobacco - Make Everyone Proud, is expanding its interactive website. Users can now create a blog when they register on the site. After Jan. 4, 2009, they will also have access to a customizable Quit Calendar to record milestones and track progress. The expanded networking capabilities allow users to share ideas, tips and advice with fellow servicemembers, as well as family and friends.
