Quitting Smoking

Ready to quit?

Most people who smoke want to quit. The good news is that free help is available to all Minnesotans. QuitPlan Services offers a variety of tools, including coaching, quit guides, and starter kits with patches, gum, or lozenges, and Minnesota residents with Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare also have free access to counseling and medications with a prescription.
