Going Tobacco-Free

What does “tobacco-free” mean?

“Tobacco-free” means not using any form of tobacco, including combustible and non-combustible tobacco products (which includes e-cigarettes).

Why tobacco-free?

It’s important to not use any form of tobacco—including traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes are still a new product, so their long-term health effects remain largely unknown. It’s important to know, however, that these products contain dozens of toxic chemicals, so they are NOT a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes.
