WHAT TO EXPECT?

You don’t have to stop smoking before your first visit. You will meet one-on-one with a smoking cessation counselor to discuss your options and individual treatment plan. A certified tobacco treatment specialist will work with you to determine the best way to quit and select a quit date. Your medical history and medications can be tracked in MyOchsner, our online patient portal.

The Smoking Cessation Clinics include:

  • FREE office visits
  • FREE group and individual counseling sessions
  • FREE over-the-counter and prescription medications*

STOP SMOKING, START LIVING

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable disease in the United States with 400,000 lives lost and more than $3 billion in health care cost and productivity losses in Louisiana alone.

Statistics show that it can take a person 6-12 times attempting to quit before they are successful.

People who currently smoke a pack a day save an average of $2,300 each year after they quit smoking.
