Tobacco-free DHS HEALTHIER WORKSITES, HELP TO QUIT Comments from employees “ One year ago, my sister died from smoking- related cancer. We could not coerce her, plead, beg or in any way prevent her from smoking. A tobacco-free work site might have helped her to slow down her smoking, if not quit, had it been an option at any of her worksites.”

Tobacco-free DHS HEALTHIER WORKSITES, HELP TO QUIT More comments So far, I am on Day 4 of being smoke-free. I was a cheater-smoker…..this will make it easier for me to stay smoke-free! Thank you! I quit for 30 days and am trying to quit again. I think a smoke-free campus is a wonderful idea and it will help me stay quit!
