Additional Resources for Quitting Tobacco Use
Some individuals may prefer to try quitting on their own first, with the help of medications (e.g., nicotine patch, Zyban). You may ask your doctor about this option, which is available to individuals once in any 12-month period. If not successful, a higher level of care is indicated (i.e., the QuitSmart program).
A number of internet guides to help you quit smoking are also available. Find these links to the right under Resources.
