HHC is there for New Yorkers who want to pursue a healthier lifestyle and quit smoking. More than two-thirds of smokers say they want to quit, and every year, more than half try. However, without assistance, fewer than 10 percent are successful over the long term. Smokers who quit at any age reduce their risk of tobacco-related disease and prolong their lives. The QuitSmoking Clinics at public hospitals have provided comprehensive treatment for tobacco use to tens of thousands of New Yorkers. HHC offers individuals a variety of ways to stop smoking, including drug therapy, counseling and case management to help patients remain engaged in treatment. The majority of patients are treated with Nicotine Replacement Therapy and/or medications. Counseling services are customized to fit each individual "quitter." Call any of the facilities below for more information. |
