Did you know that 91%[i] of Penn State students do not smoke cigarettes?

There’s no better time to quit than now: Effective August 1, the Pennsylvania cigarette tax increased from $1.60 to $2.60 per pack[ii]. If you smoke a pack a day, quitting now would save you $3,504 a year! University Health Services can help you kick the habit for good and for free.

The 7-week program is based on the American Lung Association’s Freedom from Smoking® program. You’ll meet individually with a trained health educator.  You’ll learn about stress management, what to do when you have a craving, how to control your weight while quitting, and much more.
