COVID-19 has changed our world. Tobacco prevention and control remain the Partnership for a Tobacco Free Wisconsin's priority. Many of the statewide coalition's partners have integrated pandemic response into their important work.
- Cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke exposure can suppress immune system function and cause heart and lung diseases.
- The relationship between the use of e-cigarette, or vaping, products and risk of COVID-19 is uncertain.
- For help quitting tobacco product use, or staying tobacco-free, call 1 800 QUIT-NOW or visit www.smokefree.gov.
