CDC Continues Tips Campaign and Features New Stories, Health Conditions
Dear Colleague:
CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) is building on the success of the Tips From Former Smokers campaign by expanding its campaign efforts in 2013. The Tips 2013 campaign will continue to raise awareness of the negative health effects caused by smoking, encourage smokers to quit, and encourage nonsmokers to protect themselves and their families from exposure to secondhand smoke. In March 2013, OSH began running select Tips ads from 2012, including Terrie's Tip (after 8:00 p.m.), Buerger's Disease Tip, Roosevelt's Heart Attack Tip, and Jessica's Asthma Tip in Spanish.
Tips ads featuring new participants will air Monday, April 1, 2013, through June 23, 2013. The ads include television, radio, billboards, magazines, newspapers, and online in video, display, and mobile formats. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest will help OSH amplify the campaign's messages more broadly.
The 2013 campaign features additional health conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], asthma in adults, smoking-related complications in a person with diabetes) and population groups (American Indian/Alaska Native and LGBT communities [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender]) that were not featured in the first campaign. The ads illustrate the toll that smoking-related illnesses have taken on these individuals' lives, provide encouragement to quit smoking, and include information on how to access free help.
Please take this opportunity to learn more about the Tips 2013 campaign and the many resources available for your use. We encourage you to share this e-mail and our information and resources with your partners so they can take advantage of the tools and resources, too. We have created materials anyone can use to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke.
Sincerely,
CDC's Office on Smoking and Health
