Many students want to stop smoking. We can provide you with resources and the tools to help.

The Health Stop Resource Center has free quit smoking kits available as well as numerous brochures about quitting smoking.

To make an appointment with a medical provider to talk about quitting smoking, contact the Student Health Service at 438-APPT (438-2778). The Student Health Service Pharmacy, located in the Student Services Building, has both over-the-counter and prescription quit-smoking aids and medication.

You may also call Student Counseling Services at 438-3655 to speak with a counselor about quitting.
