Talking to Your Doctor

Your doctor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, dentist or other healthcare provider are key resources for quitting. They can help you discover what medication will work best for you and put you in contact with local resources and your local quitline. Healthcare providers can help with information and support you need to live smokefree. They may help you craft your own quit plan, offer methods to prevent slip-ups, or walk through the pros and cons of nixing nicotine. Doctors or healthcare providers often stick with you throughout your quit journey by scheduling follow up visits or phone calls. Remember, healthcare professionals are not there to judge—they're there to help you in any way you need to achieve a smokefree life.

Helping Communities Quit Smoking

Smoking is an addiction and as most smokers know, quitting isn't easy. In the African American community, over 20 percent of adults report that they currently use tobacco. With support from the CVS Health Foundation, we're working to address this disparity and improve health equity in the United States. The American Lung Association and the National Urban League have partnered to provide free quit smoking support to communities in Chicago, Indianapolis and Washington, D.C. Learn more.
