Description of Program
Quit Smoking Now is a FREE tobacco cessation program developed by
ex-smokers designed to help Floridians quit tobacco products, thereby
improving health.
Did you know that each year tobacco use kills more Americans than
AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, fires, illegal drugs, murders and
suicides combined!!! But there is good news, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention found in a recent survey that over 50% of all
Americans that have ever smoked are now no longer smoking. You are not
alone in your desire to quit, The U.S. Public Health Service states
that at least 70% of all smokers want to quit and 46% try to quit on
their own but fail without the benefit of highly effective treatments
such as pharmacotherapy in combination with behavior modification.
