Help Quitting Tobacco
If you feel like you have tried everything and just can't quit your tobacco habit, don't be too hard on yourself. The Surgeon General states that there is not another drug as addictive as nicotine, and the relapse for tobacco is the highest of any drug.
With the right program, including proper counseling, lifestyle change and medications, statistics show positive results in fighting this addiction.
Mission Hospital's Nicotine Dependence Program has a high success rate in helping people get and stay off tobacco, both smoking and smokeless. The program offers a combination of counseling, group classes, and medication when necessary, to help you realize your dream of becoming tobacco free.
