“Since 2007, more than 137,000 Floridians have successfully quit smoking using one of Tobacco Free Florida’s cessation resources,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “We are committed to helping every Floridian who is struggling to quit tobacco break the addiction through our comprehensive services.”
There are plenty of reasons to quit smoking. The average pack-a-day smoker in Florida can save more than $2,000 for the 2016 holiday season if they quit smoking on New Year’s Day. Not to mention, quitting smoking can add up to 10 years to life expectancy. The health benefits of quitting smoking begin almost immediately after the last cigarette and continue for years if they quit for good.
Quitting smoking can be difficult. In fact, most people try several times before they finally quit. Those who have attempted to quit but relapsed are encouraged to try again. Having a comprehensive quit plan can increase your chances of success.
Tobacco Free Florida can help you create a personalized quit plan and offers free nicotine replacement therapy, like the patch or a combination of the patch and nicotine gum, while supplies last and if medically appropriate.
