Ready to Quit Tobacco or Nicotine?

Although cigarette smoking rates have been declining for decades, cigarette smoking remains the most preventable cause of serious illness and death. Giving up smoking is a difficult journey, but you can increase your chances of success with a good plan and support. Getting help through counseling and medications doubles or even triples your chances of quitting successfully. It’s not too late to quit using tobacco. No matter your age or how long you’ve been smoking, quitting improves some aspects of your health immediately and even more over the long term.
