SEND US YOUR SUCCESS STORIES!

The IAFF and Pfizer are working together to help the IAFF become the first tobacco-free union in North America. This initiative to encourage IAFF members and their families to take on healthier lifestyles by quitting smoking includes:

• Information on the health risks of smoking and the benefits of quitting
• How to encourage group health insurance plans serving IAFF families to provide smoking cessation coverage
• Tips for discouraging children and young adults in IAFF families from starting to smoke
• Suggestions for encouraging all firehouses and fire departments to adopt anti-smoking policies
• Creating anti-tobacco leadership and advocacy throughout IAFF

Another feature of this program will include video testimonials of IAFF members that have successfully quit smoking and how it has changed their lives.

We need your success stories. Regardless of the method you used to quit smoking, we need your story. If you or any of your members would like to join the campaign to save 2 million years of life by sharing their story with fellow members, please contact me by phone or email.
