HHS Launches BeTobaccoFree.gov

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) launched BeTobaccoFree.gov, a comprehensive website providing one-stop access to the best and most up-to-date tobacco-related information from across its agencies (CDC/OSH, FDA, NIH/NCI, the Office of the Assistant Secretary, and the Office of the Surgeon General).

This consolidated resource includes general information on tobacco as well as federal and state laws and policies, health statistics, and evidence-based methods on how to quit. BeTobaccoFree.gov uses responsive design, making information accessible anywhere, anytime, on any platform—from smart phones to tablets to desktops. The Web site’s unique social media dashboard, “Say it - share it,” constantly provides real-time updates from HHS tobacco-related social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, infographics, and podcasts. Visit www.BeTobaccoFree.gov for information on helping tobacco users quit and providing young people with information on avoiding or ending tobacco use.
