According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cigarette smoking accounts for approximately 443,000 deaths every year in the United States—roughly one out of every five people. It is the leading cause of preventable death among Americans, yet an estimated 46 million U.S. adults continue to smoke, and an alarming number of young adults and teens are following suit.
 
Quitting smoking is the single best thing you can do to protect and improve your health and the health of those around you, and those who are able to quit greatly reduce their risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer and other tobacco-related health illnesses. Although quitting isn’t easy, it is possible with the right combination of knowledge, support, and aids/medications.
 
This interactive online course provides the latest in evidence-based research on proven practices and coping strategies to help you quit smoking. All the information is presented in an easy-to-follow format that will walk you through the key elements you need to quit smoking forever.
