Tips for Quitting Chewing Tobacco
Quitting tobacco is very difficult, but it CAN be done with a little preparation!
- Chewers should see their doctors and ask about tobacco cessation medications. They can get prescriptions for Zyban or the nicotine patch, inhaler or nasal spray. Or they can purchase the nicotine patch, gum or lozenge over the counter. For more information on FDA-approved medications, click here.
- Ask family, friends or co-workers for support.
- Call the Wisconsin Tobacco Quit Line for free coaching and information. The toll free number is 1-800-QUIT-NOW.
- Get rid of all tobacco and related products in the home, car and workplace.
- Replace the tin or pouch of tobacco with a container or bag of pretzels, carrots or gum.
