CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Kristy G.’s Tip

By age 33, Kristy had been a heavy smoker for 20 years. She had a smoker's cough and shortness of breath and knew she had to quit. Kristy tried using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) as a way to quit smoking, but she never stopped smoking cigarettes completely. She eventually stopped using e-cigarettes and went back to smoking only regular cigarettes. In this ad from CDC's _Tips From Former Smokers_ ® ( _Tips_ ® ) campaign, Kristy shares how she quit smoking cigarettes for good after her lung collapsed.
