If you are thinking about quitting smoking why not commit to the Great American Smokeout on November 17? County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert says, “Take an important step towards a healthier future by choosing this day to be smoke-free. You can more than double your chances of being successful at quitting by using nicotine replacement products, such as the patch, gum or lozenge, along with a behavior change program like the Health Department’s Put It Out Rockland Quit Smoking Program.” You can order a free 2-week supply of nicotine replacement patches at nysmokefree.com or call Quitline: 866-697-8487.
