Thinking About Quitting Smoking or Vaping? We’re Here to Help!

Quitting smoking or vaping is one of the best choices you can make for your health. It’s not easy, but you don’t have to do it alone — we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Why Quit?

  • Smoking causes 1 out of every 5 deaths in the U.S.
  • People who smoke live about 10 years less than people who don’t smoke.
  • Smoking can lead to heart disease, cancer, and breathing problems.
  • It’s never too late to quit — your body starts to heal soon after you stop.

 

 

         

Save Money

The average smoker in Missouri spends more than $2,500 a year on cigarettes. That’s over $130,000 in a lifetime!

Quitting saves money and protects your health.
