Quitting Tobacco and Cravings

Quitting tobacco (cigarettes, e-cigarettes or vapes, chew, snuff, snus, and other types of smokeless tobacco) is one of the hardest things to do. It’s also the number one way to improve your health and the health of loved ones who may be exposed to secondhand smoke and vapor, or aerosol from electronic cigarettes. HMSA partners with the Hawaii Tobacco Quitline to give you free support and resources such as nicotine gum, patches, and lozenges to help you quit for good.
