Every four seconds, tobacco takes another life.

Over 1 billion people worldwide use tobacco.

Over 8 million people die from tobacco use or exposure to second-hand smoke every year.

More than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic and smokers now know that they are more likely to get severe COVID-19 symptoms compared with non-smokers. As a result, this pandemic has triggered millions of tobacco users to want to quit.

Quitting can be challenging, especially with the added social and economic stress that have come as a result of the pandemic but there are a lot of reasons to quit.

Commit to quit today and sign the pledge.
