Going tobacco free saves lives.

Tobacco can cause a significant decline in the quality of life the longer you smoke.

Smoking also affects the entire family when a family member smokes around them. This "secondhand" and "thirdhand" smoke can cause serious health consequences for nonsmoking family members, especially young children.
