<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#002060">This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention kicked off the next round of the Tips From Former Smokers campaign. Since the campaign first launched,
it has helped millions of Americans to quit smoking and talk with their loved ones about the dangers of tobacco use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#002060">This year, CDC developed new Tips ads that show how tobacco use affects families – how a daughter lost time due to her mother’s early death, how a mother regrets
how her tobacco use stole her son’s carefree childhood. These powerful stories from real people illustrate the human cost of tobacco and let people know that there is help to quit. Tips ads will be running across Oregon on broadcast media and digital platforms.
The campaign will reach the general population and groups that use tobacco at higher rates. Our Smokefree Oregon cessation campaign, which runs until the end of May, complements the CDC buy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of Cessation</span></em>.</a> Your promotion of this important initiative through social media posts, emails to listservs, information posted to websites, and stories featured in local media have made the launch a success and, most importantly, helped promote
quit attempts. <br>
<br>
Since launching the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Year of Cessation,</span></em> one primary focus has been on partnerships–reaching out to broader audiences, and exploring opportunities for collaboration. This has included sharing information
about the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Year of Cessation</span></em> with nearly 500 participants on a webinar hosted by the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center. I also had the honor of discussing cessation with CDC’s Tribal Advisory Committee
as well as with our state and territorial tobacco control managers. Across OSH we are continuing to move forward with activities to advance three major goals: addressing high-prevalence populations, tailored and targeted cessation resources, and health systems/clinical
improvement.<br>
<br>
As we kick off the second quarter of the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Year of Cessation</span></em>, we will focus on the role of smoking cessation in improving health, and ways that health systems can make tobacco screening and cessation
treatment a part of routine care. It’s fitting that the hallmark event of this quarter is today’s launch of the 2019 <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.cdc.gov_tobacco_campaign_tips_index.html-3Fs-5Fcid-3DOSH-5Femail-5FE129&d=DwMF-g&c=7gilq_oJKU2hnacFUWFTuYqjMQ111TRstgx6WoATdXo&r=hXOTJUAl2nsljAgmELfTyYpyS1eUGJSDiT3O3SAeUfE&m=FvP-fNKWS_wqJVRU1qP-d9fEUFJpZmQG6kIOz0K2brA&s=pxhz5MDv1g1lxuWjsyqVNvH_mmJEkSAlbyTTzYaoGM4&e=">Tips

Dana is a former smoker whose mother, Terrie, spoke out against smoking, and is featured numerous times in the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Tips </span></em>campaign.
Terrie died in 2013 from cancer caused by smoking. Now Dana wants to carry on Terrie’s mission and encourage all smokers to quit. Another ad features actor Leonard Nimoy, who died in 2015 of smoking-related COPD. Leonard used his influence in the last years
of his life to speak about the dangers of smoking. His widow, Susan, is joining the <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Tips </span></em>campaign to share their story. <em><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Tips</span></em> ads are set
to air on network and cable television, in magazines, and online through October 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

centers, cardiology and pulmonary clinics and rehabilitation centers, reproductive health centers, dental offices, and behavioral health treatment centers. Given the critical role that health systems and providers play in identifying people who use tobacco
