A
new CDC feature article provides support to people who want to
make quitting smoking their New Year’s resolution. In addition to providing
practical tips, the article also promotes free resources to help them be
successful. Those who resolve to quit smoking are encouraged to explore the
many free quit resources available that can increase their chances of success,
including quitlines and other cessation support resources such as the
National Texting Portal that connects adults who smoke with
mobile text message-based support to help them quit smoking, and the quickSTART app that offers tailored tips, inspiration, and
challenges as they journey to quitting smoking. In this article, Beatrice R., a woman featured in the Tips From
Former Smokers® campaign, tells the story of how in 2010 she
quit smoking for good by developing a plan and gaining support from her family,
including her young sons. A letter from one of her sons provided the motivation
she needed as she was going through the process of quitting.
