Quit Tobacco Resources
If you’re a tobacco user who’s thinking about quitting, a concerned family member or friend of a smoker, or a former smoker looking for support, you’re in the right place. We have a number of quit tobacco resources to help you break the habit as well as overcome cravings and withdrawal once you stop.
Remember, every year more than a million people quit smoking. Even if you’ve tried quitting before, it’s important to keep at it. Most people who try to stop smoking eventually succeed!
