More than 400,000 people die from tobacco use annually, making the use of tobacco the most preventable cause of death and disease in our society. 42,000 of these occur from second-hand smoke exposure. Cigarette smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer. Northern Michigan University encourages our students, faculty and staff to opt for a healthier lifestyle by quitting smoking and use of tobacco products. NMU offers many cessation resources including workshops, medication, cessation programs, coaching and much more.
