Intro: The risk and severity of many WTC-related diseases are heightened by tobacco use. Exposure to secondhand smoke may also
exacerbate WTC-related diseases. All WTC-exposed people and their family members who use tobacco should be advised to
quit, and all who attempt to quit should be provided with medications to help them quit. Smokers can access the Smokers’
Quitline by calling 311. Information on the treatment of nicotine addiction is available at:
