Stopping tobacco use can take planning and support. Counseling can help you identify
smoking triggers, prepare for cravings, and consider practical changes to routines
associated with tobacco.

## Planning a quit attempt

Think about your reasons for quitting, previous attempts, situations that make quitting
harder, and people who can support you. These are useful starting points for a conversation
about a quit plan.

## Counseling and medical support

The [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention](https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/about/how-to-quit.html)
explains that counseling together with medication gives people who smoke the best
chance of quitting. Ask a healthcare professional about suitable treatment options,
including whether medication is appropriate for you.

Contact Alquimedez to ask about counseling availability and the next step for your
request. A request for counseling does not guarantee a prescription. If you also
have concerns about alcohol or other substances, mention the type of support you
are seeking when contacting the office.
