Individual Services

BUILD THE QUIT PLAN THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU

Choose any or all of the four options below. You can even add a free Quit Coach later, if you want.

There’s no “best” way to quit tobacco. It takes most people a few tries to find out what works for them. Free nicotine gum and patches can help. Other people like getting supportive messages and tips during the day. If this is your first quit attempt, or your 15th, you have options to quit your way.

  • FREE 2-week NRT starter kit (gum/patches)
  • Email
  • Text messaging
  • Educational materials based on individual needs

Talk to Your Doctor

You are 2-3X more likely to quit with the help of a healthcare provider

Doctors, dentists and other medical staff can provide you with the tips and tools necessary for success. Quitting can also help other health issues improve.

Be prepared to talk about quitting at your next appointment. Make some notes about:

  • When/Where you smoke
  • How you feel before and after you smoke
  • Other times and ways you have tried to quit
  • What concerns you have about quitting

Some helpful questions may include:

  • Is medication right for me?*
  • How do I use patches/gum/lozenges?
  • What are the side effects I may experience?
  • Are there free resources available?
  • How can I change my lifestyle to stay quit?
  • How can friends and family help?
  • How often should we discuss my progress?

*A doctor can give you prescription medication that helps with cravings (link to NRT info)
