Ready to quit smoking? We can help.
It is never too late to quit smoking. Quitting smoking extends life and benefits health at any age. Our program begins with an initial 30-minute phone consultation. We will listen to your concerns, learn about any previous attempts to quit and identify treatment preferences. From this consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be created.
Our program includes:
- Preferred nicotine replacement therapies (e.g., nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges) will be mailed to your home – free of charge.
- Available in English and Spanish.
- Text-messaging program - live Tobacco Treatment Specialist checks text messages and offers support.
All services are free of cost. There are multiple ways to begin the auto-enrollment:
- To speak with a tobacco specialist, call (585) 504-9461 or email quitcenter@urmc.rochester.edu.
