Imagine being in your first year of high school, making new friends, getting acclimated to new surroundings.

Did you know that a cigarette and its smoke contain more than 7,000 types of chemicals and at least 43 are known to cause cancer? These same chemicals can be found in the secondhand smoke you and others in your community inhale from smokers nearby. If you are interested in reducing tobacco use on your installation, at your MTF, or in your community, please join the new Operation Live Well (OLW) Tobacco-Free Living Community of Interest (COI).
