Tobacco Cessation
Smoking is recognized as a risk factor for cancer, but quitting can be a very challenging process. Whether you are a cigarette smoker, a smokeless tobacco user, or a user of any other type of tobacco, we can help you quit. During a tobacco cessation appointment, we work with you to develop a personalized plan to approach quitting. We focus strongly on behavioral changes that have been shown to be successful for others in quitting. Information about medications and tobacco replacement therapies is available as well.
A personalized tobacco cessation session can be your first step towards quitting. To schedule a session contact our team at 806-775-8290.
