Do you smoke or use tobacco?  Thinking about quitting?  Smoking cessation programs and the state quitline can help even if you're addicted to nicotine.

This web site is designed to provide residents of Virginia with information about smoking cessation programs and other resources offered in their communities (Program Directory), along with links to other web sites that offer additional information and assistance to those thinking about quitting or wanting to quit now (Related Links).

If you are aware of other programs or resources in Virginia that are not listed, please let us know so we can add them to the web site (Contact Us).

Ask Your Doctor

If formal programs are not available in your area or do not appeal to you - ask your doctor for help in quitting.  Your health care provider can assist you in developing a plan especially suited to your particular needs (Quit Plans).

Remember - as long as you don't quit quitting, you will succeed!
