Smoking Cessation: Ready to Quit for Good?
Stopping smoking is a GREAT choice! It is one of the most important things you can do to improve and extend your life.
Keep reading to learn what the Health Department can do to help you QUIT for GOOD!
First things first, you need to plan your quit and learn about what your options in quitting are.
Consider your options
- Cold Turkey: Completely stop smoking. Zero cigarettes. No quit aid medications.
- Step Down: Wean yourself off of cigarettes and nicotine by smoking less each day or each week.
- Quit Aid Medications: These medications can help to reduce nicotine cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine replacement patches, gum, lozenges, Zyban®, and Chantix® are some of the most popular quit aids.
- Counseling Support: Group and individual sessions, phone quitlines, and Internet sites can help connect you to professional quit coaches and others who are also quitting smoking.
