Smoking Cessation

Tobacco dependence is the number one public health problem in the world and the single most preventable cause of death in the United States-- not to mention the cause of many respiratory infections, bad breath, premature wrinkling, yellowed teeth AND a huge money drain! Whether you are exploring this site for the first time or you are attempting to quit smoking for the 10th time, we welcome this chance to support your efforts to quit the tobacco habit!

To increase your chance of success, we urge you to schedule an appointment at Student Health Services specifically for tobacco cessation. This will give you the opportunity to have one-on-one help in strategizing a plan to quit smoking. You will meet with a health-care provider who can give you a quit kit, review information on all the latest nicotine replacement therapies and assist you in identifying and overcoming your personal triggers and obstacles. We are eager to provide students with ongoing support in this difficult task-no matter how long a process it may be. Even if you are just considering the possibility of quitting, schedule an appointment and let us help you! Call SHS at 703-993-2831.

At Student Health Services, we work in partnership with our Health Educator who has created a web site with an amazing amount of information and resources.
