“Learn to Be…Tobacco Free”

Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken encourages residents who use tobacco to seek help in breaking their addiction by signing up for Suffolk County’s  “Learn to Be …Tobacco Free” program. The program, which is free to Suffolk County residents, offers assistance with planning, support, and counseling. The program also provides over-the counter medications for a fee to participants who are medically eligible.

“We know now more than ever about what works and what doesn't,” said Dr. Tomarken. “Studies have shown that smokers who try to quit smoking with behavioral support are more likely to be successful than those who try to stop smoking without support.”

Registration for the program is open until the second week of each session. Classes will take place as follows:
