Our Goal: Every year every nurse will help at least one person to quit.
RN2Q1 Action Items:
-
Sign up and pledge to help at least one person to quit every year
-
Ask every person you help to quit to register with QuitNet, and to
join the NightingalesNurses Club at
www.quitnet.com
-
Spread the word: invite your colleagues to join,
and ask your nursing organization to support RN2Q1
-
Smokefree laws result in a
decline in the
consumption of tobacco products, and an increase in the
cessation rate
among smokers. Help with getting smokefree policies in your
community and workplace.
-
Join the Nightingales Nurses and speak out at
Big Tobacco shareholder meetings. We will tell the tobacco
executives how many people nurses helped to quit, and how many
dollars profit were NOT made for the industry.
Nurses can stop the industrially produced epidemic. The industry only
cares about profits.
Nurses care about people.
