Tobacco Education Program

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States. Tobacco Use and COVID-19:

There has never been a better time to quit using tobacco products. COVID-19 can affect your respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs). Long-term smokers and people who vape (many who are former smokers) are at increased risk of developing chronic lung conditions. People with lung disease or moderate to severe asthma are at a high risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Smoking weakens the immune system.
