Smoking Cessation
Our smoking cessation program is designed to help patients quit smoking through personalized, supportive care. The program combines education, counseling, and evidence-based strategies to reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and build long-term success. With guidance tailored to each individual’s goals and health needs, we help patients take meaningful steps toward better lung health and overall well-being.
What Happens when you QUIT Smoking?
Quitting smoking triggers immediate and long-term improvements throughout your body, especially your lungs and heart. Within hours to days, carbon monoxide levels drop, oxygen levels improve, and breathing becomes easier; over weeks to months, coughing and shortness of breath often decrease as lung function begins to recover. Over time, quitting smoking significantly lowers the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung conditions, while also improving energy levels, circulation, and overall quality of life. Even after years of smoking, stopping now can lead to meaningful health benefits at any age.
How Our Smoking Cessation Program Works
Smoking cessation programs use a combination of proven strategies to help individuals quit successfully and maintain long-term results. Common methods include behavioral counseling, which helps identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and build healthier habits; nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers, or nasal sprays, which reduce withdrawal symptoms by gradually lowering nicotine dependence; and prescription medications that help decrease cravings and the pleasurable effects of nicotine. Many programs also incorporate education, goal setting, and ongoing support to improve motivation and accountability. When used together and tailored to the individual, these approaches significantly increase quit rates by addressing both the physical addiction and the behavioral aspects of smoking.
