Tobacco Cessation

Tobacco use contributes to several health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and respiratory illness. Quitting tobacco at any age is beneficial, but stopping as early as possible produces greater health benefits, reducing the risk for disease and premature death. Ridgeview’s health navigators can help you take the next step and guide you through the challenges of quitting, including stress management and weight control.

Personalized Consultation and Care Plans

Ridgeview’s health navigators are available at all Ridgeview primary care clinic locations to work with you and your provider to create a quit plan, manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and provide education on medications or nicotine replacement options. Studies have shown that using approved medications along with behavior counseling greatly improves your success in quitting tobacco use.
