Our Mission:
To help Ole Miss students and employees quit tobacco use.
Program Information:
We offer a series of brief, individualized support sessions and, if appropriate for overall health and tobacco use pattern, FREE medications.
The staff guides tobacco users through the quitting process. We provide information and suggestions on how to prepare to quit and what to expect after stopping tobacco use.
No one is asked to quit the day of enrollment. We usually recommend setting a target day that is a week or two after the initial visit, but we will gladly work with anyone at any stage!
