Smoking
Does it sometimes seem like almost everyone smokes? Consider this*:
- Most Loyola students (61%) have never smoked cigarettes
- Three out of four Loyola students (76%) did not smoke in the last month
If you do choose to smoke, even socially, there are many important reasons to consider quitting. The Wellness Center has a variety of resources available to help you kick the habit:
- Individual Consultations. Meet with the Health Educator to talk about your decision to quit, design a personal quit plan, and get support. Cessation kits are available for purchase for a nominal fee. Call the Wellness Center to make an appointment.
- Online Cessation and Support. A free, internet-based smoking cessation program will help you design your own quit plan and get support from others who are in the process of quitting.
- Referrals. If you are interested in group cessation programs, referrals to local resources are available.
- Information. Information is available in the Wellness Center Resource Room as well as online.
- Think hookahs are a safer alternative? Think again.
Whatever your situation, we can work with you:
- I'm ready to quit!
- I'm not ready to quit yet, but I want to know more.
- I don't smoke, but I would like more information.
