Smoking Cessation

More people than ever before are contemplating their options when it comes to smoking cessation programs. Our staff is here to offer different options that may ultimately result in beating that unhealthy habit for good!

Sadly, tobacco use is the number one most common preventable cause of death. We all know that smoking cessation is important for your health for several multiple reasons. About 50% of smokers who do not quit smoking die of smoking-related problems. Our staff knows that quitting is not easy and we are here to help patients break free from the dangers of smoking.

Within hours after you quit, your body's circulation starts to improve and your blood pressure decreases. You may not have noticed a change in your ability to smell and taste, but after you quit you will notice your sense of taste and smell returning. Breathing becomes easier, and with every year that passes that you remain smoke-free, your chances of getting cancer decreases.

Our doctors have a variety of tools and support systems, medications and therapies that may be just what you need. Some people quit smoking cold turkey, others benefit from step-down programs, counseling, medicines or other products such as a nicotine patch to break their addiction. We can help you find what works for you. Don't give up! A majority of people who have quit smoking or want to quit smoking have tried many, many times before they were finally successful. If you are ready to stop smoking for good or you would like more information call our office.
