Quit Smoking

Reducing risks for disease 

While smoking rates are declining nationally, the health effects of smoking remain a pressing issue to address. Every day, roughly 1,300 Americans die from smoking-related illnesses; that’s 480,000 a year. This isn’t just a national problem — the health effects of tobacco smoke disproportionately affect Western Pennsylvanians.

There are a lot of resources to help you quit smoking today. Here are just a few:

• A great place to start is the Pennsylvania Department of Health, where you can find free programs and resources to help you on your quitting journey.
• Talk to your healthcare professional; ask how they can help you quit.
• Find a local class — there are many different classes in Allegheny County. Check out Tobacco Free Adagio
• Allegheny County’s Office of Family and Child Health provides smoking cessation classes for those who are pregnant or have small children in the home.
