If you are currently smoking, HUHS is committed to providing you with support and information to help you quit or remain off nicotine. Quitting smoking has enormous health benefits that begin within hours after quitting. Even if you have already tried to quit, we have confidence that you can succeed. Most smokers try to quit a few times before they are able to quit for good. You can learn from your past efforts and try again.
