The
State of Utah Tobacco Cessation Resource Directory is
provided as a public service by the Tobacco Prevention
& Control Program, Utah Department of Health. The
directory’s purpose is to assist tobacco users and
health professionals in locating cessation resources within
their local area.
Information included in the directory was provided by
the agencies and organizations listed. The Tobacco Prevention
& Control Program does not endorse or guarantee services
of any of the agencies/organizations listed. Also, failure
of a cessation agency/organization to be listed does not
mean non-endorsement of that program. Directory information,
including, but not limited to, fees, structure, and location
are subject to change without notice. Users of the directory
are encouraged to contact agencies/organizations directly
for the most current information.
If you are using tobacco and want to stop, there are many
resources to help you. Though most people who quit using
tobacco do so on their own, it is often the support and/or
referral to credible sources by family, friends, and health
professionals that make individual efforts successful.
No one tobacco cessation method is necessarily best for
everyone. Matching your unique characteristics with those
methods best suited to you will increase your chance of
being able to stop using tobacco. Sometimes using more
than one method at a time, such as nicotine gum or patch
along with a smoking cessation group, will increase your
chances for successfully quitting.
Be aware that it often takes 2 to 5 serious attempts to
quit before the average person is able to stay tobacco-free.
If you are able to quit in fewer attempts - - great! If
not, don’t be discouraged. It’s not easy to
give up tobacco, but with each serious attempt the likelihood
you will some day be tobacco-free increases dramatically.Finally,
give yourself credit for trying to quit. Being able to
stop using tobacco is a major accomplishment in your life.
We hope you’ll find the resources in the directory
helpful.
