The Philadelphia Department of Public Health’s IF I CAN QUIT, SO CAN YOU campaign is designed to stop tobacco-use among all smokers, but particularly those in high-risk groups including:
● Those in recovery from substance use, including opioid use
● Pregnant or new moms ● Identify as LGBTQIA+
● Individuals who work at places where tobacco use and exposure are high (e.g., food service, hospitality industry, trade professions, etc.)
● Active duty members and veterans of the armed forces Hispanic and Latino communities

I speak to Ryan Coffman, Tobacco Policy and Control Program Manager, Philadelphia Department of Public Health about the campaign that features real Philadephia who are former smokers to encourage and inspire other Philadelphians to quit. Coffman also discusses the resources available including the PA Free Quitline 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
