How Does it Work?
Your first virtual appointment with our Tobacco Cessation team will take approximately 45 minutes and will include a discussion of your tobacco use history, any previous attempts to quit, why you are motivated to quit, and any barriers you may have to quitting.
At the end of this visit, you and your advanced practice provider will work together to develop a plan for quitting — which may include a combination of medications, counseling, and regular follow-up. You may even select a quit date during this session, although some patients need more time.
From this point, you’ll work with our Tobacco Cessation team to follow your quit plan, recognizing there could be a need to adjust strategies and timelines along the way. The team is available for regular follow-up and support throughout your journey — understanding that the timeline to success is different for every patient.
