Tobacco Prevention & Cessation
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Over 4,600 people in Colorado die each year from smoking related illnesses. Tobacco claims more lives than drugs, alcohol, firearms, and motor vehicle accidents combined. Smoking and secondhand smoke contribute to heart disease, lung cancer, emphysema, and are major risk factors for coronary heart disease and stroke.
