Tobacco Cessation

It's never too late to quit. We're here whenever you're ready.

Student Health Services offers one-on-one tobacco cessation services to students, faculty and staff who are thinking about or have decided to quit using tobacco. These services focus on cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars, hookahs, and other types of tobacco. The American Cancer Society states that pairing Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) with a cessation program can double your chances of success.

SHS Tobacco Cessation Program

The program includes:

  • A minimum of four visits to a Tobacco Cessation Coach
  • Resource and assessment packet
  • A quit kit

During your visits you will discuss:

  • Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) options and dosage
  • Your assessment results
  • Quit date preparation
  • Post-quit date strategies
  • And more!

We Make It Easy

  • Appointments available at Student Health Services or Dixon Recreation Center.
  • Services are confidential.
  • For more information or to make an appointment, call 737-WELL (9355).

Fees

  • Services are FREE to OSU students.

If you are not ready to meet with a health educator, the Health Promotion Department at SHS also has a vast array of brochures and health education materials available for students, staff and faculty to assist with tobacco cessation. Please come to Room 310 at SHS for more information.
