The New Year is here, and it is a time when many people who use commercial tobacco or vape products think about quitting. Nicotine addiction is a chronic condition, and it often takes multiple quit attempts to succeed.
Receiving support from healthcare professionals can make a big difference. The NYS Smokers’ Quitline provides trained healthcare professionals armed with educational resources, tips and techniques for helping patients quit, like using a consistent and non-judgmental approach.

Wishing you a very healthy 2024!
