Smoking Cessation: Myths vs. Facts
Most of us have had quit attempts that we thought of as an event; a task that we could complete within a few weeks - a month at most. Then, when the urge to smoke persisted beyond what we felt was reasonable, we despaired of ever breaking free of nicotine addiction.

While the worst of nicotine withdrawal is over within a matter of weeks, release from the habit of smoking comes more slowly, and our minds can play tricks on us along the way.

Recovery From Nicotine Addiction: Myths vs. Facts

Arm yourself with knowledge about some of the more common misconceptions that follow when we quit smoking and you'll be better prepared to succeed.

Knowledge is power!

Take The Quit Smoking Monday Pledge

Healthy Monday encourages us to think of every Monday as a day that we can begin work anew on goals that we have for ourselves. If you're still smoking, put your cigarettes down and get started on your quit program today.

We all have the ability to quit smoking successfully, and we all deserve a life that is free of addiction. Honor your life by choosing Monday as the day to start and reinforce your quit program.

You can quit smoking ... and we’re here to help you, one simple Monday at a time.
