Yet one in four Americans still light up. If you or someone you love uses tobacco, here's what you need to know about how tobacco kills, and how to get the help you need to quit.

Tobacco-Free Nurses  External link
Together with QuitNet we have created a smoking cessation site tailored for nurses and nursing students who want to quit smoking. From this site you can freely access QuitNet's special Nurses section, where you'll find tools and resources you can use to help quit smoking, scientific guides about quitting, expert counselors available to take your questions, and most importantly, other nurses like you who want to quit! Click here to go to our QuitNet entry page and take advantage of your membership sponsored by the Tobacco Free Nurses project.
