You are not alone

Quitting smoking is a very personal experience. If you've tried to quit before, no one has to tell you that quitting is hard. But every day, people show it can be done.
As of 2002, more than half of the people who have ever smoked had successfully quit.1

There's no one "right" way to quit smoking. You can choose the methods that are most comfortable for you. There are more options and sources of help today than ever before.

This online resource was created to make it easy for you to connect with the information and support you may need to quit smoking for good. It also gives specific and practical tips from smoking cessation experts, and from real people who have been in your shoes and are now smoke-free.

As you start—or restart—the process of quitting, ask your family and friends to support you and cheer you on. And remember that millions of people throughout the world have gone before you, and found their own paths to success.
