Quit Tobacco – Make Everyone Proud is an educational campaign for the U.S. military, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. Launched in February of 2007, the mission of the campaign website is to help U.S. service members quit tobacco—for themselves and for the people they love.

The award-winning website provides the opportunity to learn more about tobacco cessation, develop a personalized plan for quitting, create a personal or public blog, and get live online help around the clock. Contact an expert coach to get answers about quitting tobacco, signup for a texting program that provides daily motivation, or join us on social media to chat with others who are working to become tobacco free.

U.S. Department of Defense Top Civilian and Military Leaders



Project UNIFORM creates military-civilian partnerships to address tobacco use in military communities by providing culturally appropriate tobacco control information and trainings to existing military cessation programs on installations; collaborating with military support networks to promote cessation services; and educating tobacco control professionals to the culture and existing services within the Armed Forces of the United States.

SmokefreeVET, a new project announced by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and SmokeFree.gov, provides a mobile text messaging service for military veterans.

The program is designed to provide encouragement, advice, and tips for smoking cessation.

Users of SmokefreeVET receive 1-5 text messages a day over the course of a six to eight week program.

The program is free of charge to veterans who receive health care through the VA. To learn more about the program or sign up, click here.
