The Importance of Combination Behavioral Counseling and Medication

When attempting to quit without support, less than 1 in 10 smokers are successful in quitting each year, BUT quitting with support can increase the chances of quitting by up to 80%.

Combining both behavioral interventions along with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) can decrease the number of deaths related to tobacco use. In fact, as much as ten years can be added to your life expectancy if you quit tobacco.
