You're thinking about quitting, and we support you. What you're doing takes enormous commitment and strength. We understand it won't be easy - 70% of all Americans who smoke want to quit. But be assured, it will be one of the most rewarding and important things you ever accomplish.

We've pulled together this contact information for some of the leading resources for smokers who want to stop. They offer expert advice and support, and they'll give you an idea of what you can expect, both physically and psychologically, as you start down the road to a healthier and happier life.
