Are you considering quitting tobacco? SHW can provide support and guidance whether you're just starting to think about quitting, have already taken steps to quit, or need help overcoming a relapse. We offer a range of resources including conversation starters, personalized quit plans, options for over-the-counter or prescription medications, stress management techniques, support groups, and counseling.
