Maybe you had a health scare, you want to protect your friends and family from dangerous secondhand smoke, or you need more money in your budget. There is no wrong answer. This is your “why”. Keep it with you throughout this process.
It’s never too late to quit smoking or using tobacco products. Quitting can be tough, but there are ways to make it easier. We are here with resources to help you take that first step in your journey.
Talk toYour Doctor
Due to the complicated nature of addiction, OK to Quit advocates for tobacco users to seek out assistance from a healthcare provider when quitting any form of tobacco. Quitting tobacco is easier and more effective when you combine tobacco cessation coaching, support from their physician and nicotine replacement therapy.
