Before you quit, talk with your healthcare providers –
Your primary healthcare provider
can find which stop–smoking medications may work for you and whether quitting may affect the dosage of additional medications you may be taking.
Your behavioral health provider
can build the tools you need to problem-solve unique challenges you may face along the way.
Your doctor can also provide support and access to local resources, such as support from a Quit Coach.
Remember, quitting smoking usually takes several tries. You will learn what works and doesn’t work for you with each try. Don’t get discouraged, and keep trying! Today, there are more ways to help you quit than ever before. Your primary healthcare and behavioral care providers are there to help; there is no need to go through this alone.
