Tips Campaign Impact
- From 2012–2018, CDC estimates that more than 16.4 million people who smoke have attempted to quit and approximately one million have successfully quit because of the Tips campaign.1
- People who smoke who have seen Tips ads report greater intentions to quit within the next 30 days, and people who smoke who have seen the ads multiple times have even greater intentions to quit.2
- Higher levels of exposure to the Tips campaign were associated with lower odds of relapse to cigarette smoking.3
- During 2012–2018, CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers campaign helped prevent an estimated 129,000 early deaths and helped save an estimated $7.3 billion in smoking-related healthcare costs.4
- For every $3,800 spent on the Tips campaign between 2012-2018, we prevented an early death. A cost-effectiveness study on the topic factored in smoking relapse, inflation, and advertising and evaluation costs.4
- In each campaign, there was an immediate, sustained and dramatic spike in calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW, and in visits to the campaign website.
- The Tips campaign generated over two million additional calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW during 2012–2023.5
