Tobacco Cessation

About

Tobacco use remains the most preventable cause of death in the United States. Smoking is a risk factor for 13 cancers, and despite decades of declines in cigarette smoking prevalence, about 30% of all cancer deaths are still caused by smoking.

 

The American Cancer Society is committed to working with an array of partners ranging from health care, government agencies, academia, industry, and local community organizations to improve and expand tobacco cessation interventions to help people quit smoking.
