The staff at the Health and Counseling Center can support students in taking steps toward tobacco cessation. We can help students evaluate their motivation and readiness to quit. The staff can also direct student to resources including counseling and support, or pharmacotherapy such as nicotine replacement patches or gum, and other options.

MyQuit Coach is a free app that helps users find peer support online, and is good for those who are cutting down on tobacco, even if they are not yet ready to quit.
