Tobacco use is still the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the United States.
Cigarette smoking alone kills more than 480,000 Americans each year.
16 million Americans are living with at least one serious smoking-related disease.
For every person who dies because of smoking, at least 30 people live with a serious smoking related illness.
A Proven Approach
Our approach centers on the proven combination of medication and counseling, and we offer the following resources to help you on your journey:
Medications
Using FDA-approved medications, such as nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion, and varenicline, while you’re quitting can help you manage nicotine withdrawal symptoms and cope with the urge to smoke. Family Care of Lake County can guide you through the available options to help you decide which is likely to work best for you.
Counseling
Combining smoking cessation medications with counseling offers you the best chance of quitting — and staying tobacco-free. We offers tobacco cessation counseling, to talk about your tobacco use, ways to get tobacco out of your life, coping with triggers, and changing your lifestyle to remain tobacco-free. To learn more, contact us at Family Care of Lake County.
Tobacco Cessation Quitline
Did you know? Tobacco quitlines can double your chances of quitting, compared with getting no support at all. Call to make your quit plan, get individual counseling, and develop strategies for preventing relapse. Quitline counselors offer continued support through follow-up calls, and counseling is available in both English and Spanish.
When you call 1-800-QUIT-NOW, you can speak confidentially with a highly trained quit coach.
