Quit Smoking NOW (QSN) is a 6-session smoking cessation program. Everyone starts QSN while still using tobacco and everyone quits together in week 4 of the program. Throughout the six sessions, a tobacco treatment specialist (TTS) works with tobacco users in a supportive group setting to facilitate the cessation process by providing the information and tools needed to become tobacco free. QSN also offers access to nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) such as patches, gum and lozenges, to help manage withdrawal symptoms.
