Tobacco fights dirty. It's a dangerous addiction that's expensive, deadly and has a serious impact on readiness. Sailors and Marines who smoke get sick more often, which translates into more lost workdays and hospitalizations than nonsmokers. Equally as bad are the effects of secondhand smoke on your shipmates. To help you win the battle, the HPW department offers you effective resources to end tobacco use and learn about the harmful effects of tobacco and secondhand smoke.
