SMOKING CESSATION RESOURCES

Remember that a smoke-free home rule does not mean you have to quit smoking. It just means you will not smoke inside the house, you can still go outside to smoke. Having this rule may actually help you cut down on how much you smoke.

However, if you are interested in quitting smoking, you can:

Call the free tobacco quitline numbers to talk to an expert and get support: 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) or 1-877-44U-QUIT (448-7846)
Call United Way 2-1-1 by dialing 211 for other smoking cessation services in your area.
Talk to your doctor or health care provider about options to help you quit smoking.
