Have you quit or are you trying to quit smoking, vaping, or both?
The COPD Foundation is working with the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review(ICER) to better understand how smoking and vaping affect daily life and what it's like to seek treatments to quit smoking. You can participate in this project either through a written feedback form or an interview with ICER. Results will be summarized anonymously in a report that will be used to support decisions on drug pricing, access, and affordability.
If you are interested in participating or learning more, please reach out to advocacy@copdfoundation.org

I look forward to reading the results of the ICER report. Too many people, especially the younger generation are now vaping.
I've never smoked or vaped. Thank goodness!
Quitting can be such a tough one to beat, so it’s great to hear you’re in a better place now without vaping or smoking!
