  • Seriously why are cigarettes still being sold? I think we should make a petition or something to outlaw it. Even then there'd be illegal manufacturers. :( soo frustrating

  • Banning tobacco products would be an issue for Congress, not a federal agency. CDC works to educate the public on how to prevent disease and lead longer, healthier lives. This campaign encourages smokers to quit by raising awareness of the human suffering caused by smoking and providing access to resources to help smokers quit.
