Smoking and tobacco cessation
The Smoking and Tobacco Cessation helps Veterans quit smoking for good. Success at quitting tobacco depends on mastering nicotine addiction and changing tobacco use behaviors. Groups provide counseling and support to address both of these aspects of tobacco addiction. You are three times more likely to quit successfully if you receive both medicine and counseling.
