State health department offers free smoking cessation program
In an effort to help Connecticut residents quit tobacco use, the state Department of Public Health has launched a new cessation program called Commit to Quit.
The free program’s streamlined process allows smokers to quit on their own terms and provides support services. Commit to Quit provides online and telephone support. The program includes:
• Two weeks of nicotine replacement therapy products at no cost
• One-on-one assistance from a quit coach when needed
• Access to a private online community with others trying to quit
• A quit guide workbook that walks you through the steps to quit
• Lifetime membership – even if participants have trouble quitting, they will not be kicked out
There are also face-to-face cessation programs available. For information about cessation programs including Commit to Quit, visit: www.CommitToQuitCT.com.
