Ready to Quit?
DOH-Sarasota's Tobacco Prevention Program promotes many resources for
those wanting to quit smoking.
Tobacco Free Florida
We know quitting can be very hard, but it’s not impossible. In
fact, there are more former smokers than current smokers in Florida.
With the right help, resources, and support to keep you going, Tobacco
Free Florida can give you the best chance to quit for good. For each
person, overcoming nicotine addiction is different and we can help you
choose a path to quitting that works for you.
Tobacco Free Florida offers a number of free and convenient resources to
help tobacco users quit. The Florida Quitline and Web Coach® are
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
