Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken encourages residents who use
tobacco to obtain help in breaking their addiction by signing up for Suffolk
County’s “Learn to Be …Tobacco Free” program. The program offers assistance with
planning, support, counseling and medication if warranted.
“We know more than
ever about what works and what doesn't,” 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 will be
held as follows:
