QuitAssist™ is a free information resource offered by Philip Morris USA. QuitAssist™ connects smokers who have decided to quit to a wealth of expert quitting information from public health authorities and others.

QuitAssist™ is a voluntary effort by Philip Morris USA. We realize that to some it may seem contradictory for a cigarette manufacturer to help smokers who have decided to quit succeed. But, smoking causes serious diseases and is addictive. It can be difficult to quit smoking and many smokers who try to quit do not succeed. We hope that this QuitAssist™ resource will help smokers who have decided to quit be successful.

The information on the QuitAssist™ website was written and edited by Cheryl K. Olson, Sc.D., a public health writer, in conjunction with a review board with expertise in the area of smoking cessation. Read the letter from the editor.
