As you look forward to Valentine's Day and finalize activities related to American Heart Month in February, we wanted to let you know that OSH is in the process of updating several communication products that capitalize on themes of love, caring, and heart health. As of February 6, the following products will be accessible via OSH's Smoking & Tobacco Use Web site. We'll send out an E-mail that day providing links to these products:  
· A CDC.gov feature article that a) encourages smokers to protect the health of their heart by quitting smoking and b) provides links to information about the effects of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke on cardiovascular health as well as resources to increase quitting success 
· Information on OSH's Smoking & Tobacco Use Web site that summarizes key information from the feature article and contains links to cessation resources and social media tools  
· A CDC Everyday Health widget that links to information on OSH's Web site 
· Valentine's buttons that link to information on OSH's Web site 
· Valentine's E-cards that link to information on OSH's Web site 
· A Facebook post and tweet 
· Postings on GovLoop encouraging readers to visit the online feature article 
· Information on how to subscribe to CDC's Text Message service to receive regular text messages on a variety of health topics, such as OSH's Valentine's Day message that drives home the importance of smoking cessation to cardiovascular health 
  
We hope these products will assist you in your efforts to promote a healthy, smoke-free 2012.
