Bird watching is a great way to de-stress and keep your mind off nicotine cravings . This # NationalBirdDay , watch some birds and help your smokefree life soar .

To the @ CDCTobaccoFree Comms Team : The more you share evidence-free advice like this , the more you erode public trust in all @ CDCgov health advice . I just did a careful search of the literature for any evidence that bird watching helps smokers quit or stay quit . Nope .
They ’ ve also misinformed the public to dissuade them from quitting smoking with the most effective means of doing so . Trust them as a smoker and you will likely die in misery from cancer , COPD , or heart disease along with 480,000 other trusting Americans every year .

I honestly thought this was joke , CDC can ’ t possibly be suggesting “ bird watching ” to quit smoking ?
Is this real life ? You are suggesting bird watching for smoking cessation ? Luckily you are a defunct org that no one trusts anymore . Worst advice ever .
@ LanceChurchill @ BridgetR0309
So “ bird watching ” is your latest NRT theory ? 480K Americans die from smoking every year and this is your recommendation when the most successful smoking cessation product in history--vaping--is available to smokers ? Even @ CDCgov has admitted that 5M smokers have quit by vaping .
I am guessing that no one that works for CDC Tobacco Free has ever smoked . The tips you give are absolutely useless to people who are trying to quit smoking .
