Association between the tips from former smokers campaign and smoking cessation among adults, United States, 2012-2018
Murphy-Hoefer, R., Davis, K. C., King, B. A., Beistle, D., Rodes, R., & Graffunder, C. (2020). Association between the tips from former smokers campaign and smoking cessation among adults, United States, 2012-2018. Preventing chronic disease, 17, E97.

In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched the national Tips From Former Smokers (Tips) campaign to encourage people who smoke to quit by showing real-life heath consequences of tobacco use and promoting evidence-based resources for quitting. To assess the campaign's impact on quit attempts and sustained-quit estimates (ie, quits lasting ≥6 mos), CDC analyzed data from a nationally representative longitudinal survey of US adults who smoke cigarettes, aged 18 years or older in 2012-2018. The Tips campaign was associated with an estimated 16.4 million quit attempts and 1,005,419 sustained quits. Continued implementation of cessation campaigns, including the Tips campaign, could accelerate progress toward reducing rates of smoking-related diseases and death.
