Free Resources to Stop Smoking

Quitting tobacco is a process, and that process looks different for everyone. The truth is, it often takes multiple attempts to break the pattern of smoking, and a combination of methods are often helpful for many. The average smoker tries to quit eight to 11 times before successfully stopping.

In addition to the difficulty of quitting tobacco, some men and women may find that it can be expensive. The cost of nicotine replacement therapy – such as patches, gum and lozenges – can add up. 

Don’t be deterred by the hidden costs of weaning yourself off smoking. The money spent on nicotine replacement therapy usually pales in comparison to the price of a pack of cigarettes. Plus, there are multiple trusted resources available to help you quit – for free! 

One of the easiest and most convenient resources to overcome smoking is Quit Now Kentucky.
