Quitting Tobacco

Quitting tobacco is one of the most important things you can do for your health. Your health starts to improve when you quit no matter how old you are or how long you have been using tobacco. But quitting can take time. Many people have to try several times before they quit for good.

  • Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or vapes

Support and Medicine Can Help You Quit Tobacco
Most people want to quit using tobacco, but quitting on your own is hard. Support from other people helps. That includes your family and friends, doctors, and health coaches. Medicine also helps because it lowers your body's nicotine cravings and other withdrawal symptoms.
