Health Commissioner James Tomarken, MD, encourages residents who use
tobacco to obtain help in breaking their addiction through Suffolk County’s “Learn
to Be …Tobacco Free” program.
“Breaking an addiction to
nicotine can be very difficult,” said Dr. Tomarken. “Studies have shown that
smokers who try to quit smoking using a combination of behavioral support
and medicine are three times more likely to be successful than those who
try to stop smoking without support.”
The classes are free to Suffolk County residents, though there is a
nominal fee for medication for medically eligible participants. Classes are as
follows:
