Are you ready to quit smoking, tobacco use or vaping?

Maybe you've tried to quit tobacco on your own. Maybe you've tried more than once but just haven't succeeded. Our tobacco cessation coaching will give you the support and resources to quit for good.

During your first 30-minute appointment, a certified tobacco treatment specialist will meet with you and discuss your specific challenges, and make a plan for your success. You can meet in person, online or by phone.

A three-fold approach

Quitting smoking, tobacco use or vaping is one of the best changes you can make for your health and well-being. We work with you in three ways.

Evaluation

  • What products do you use?
  • How is nicotine affecting your health?
  • How ready are you to quit?
  • What are your next steps?

Support

A certified tobacco treatment specialist will meet with you in person, by phone or online.

Cessation aids

We provide free nicotine patches, gum and lozenges.
