Don't Smoke
Smoking kills nearly 14,700 Michigan smokers each year and accounts for about one in six Michigan deaths. This is just one sobering statistic among many when it comes to smoking.

The negative health effects of smoking, on the smoker and those exposed to secondhand smoke are staggering.

If you smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or use spit tobacco, please take the dependence quiz to determine the level of your dependency on smoking.

From nicotine replacement to quit kits, no matter what your level of addiction, we can help you quit.

We've also got some great ways for parents to talk to their kids about not using tobacco. And some help for parents whose kids are already using tobacco. Without a doubt, quitting tobacco leads to healthier lives for everyone.
