The tobacco cessation counselors are experienced in behavioral change techniques and nicotine withdrawal. They help to personalize the program so that the quit plan fits your particular situation and lifestyle. And, even if you chew tobacco or smoke cigars or pipes, the counselors are trained to help you. Finally, a toll-free Quit Line is available for you to call between your scheduled sessions whenever you have any questions or concerns. You can even call after you've finished the program - so you can feel confident that the support you need will be there.
Studies show that for some, quitting for good can take many attempts.
Each attempt brings you closer to your goal. Our materials guide you through each step of the process, including helping you address nicotine cravings with coping skills and support from the patch or Zyban. Many tobacco users feel an urgency to quit as soon as they enter a program. Counselors work with participants to help them understand that quitting is a process that requires preparation. The counselor and participant create a plan together for quitting and this may include a recommendation for patch or Zyban therapy.
