It’s hard to stop smoking. But you can quit! Since 2002, there have been more former smokers in the US than there are current smokers — you can become one of this growing number!
Many organizations offer information, counseling, and other services to help you quit, as well as information on where to go for help. Other good resources to ask for help can include your doctor, dentist, local hospital, or employer.
