St. Helena Center for Health

Breathe Easy and Quit Smoking For Life

Since 1969 thousands of smokers have reclaimed their lives from tobacco dependence at the Center for a Smoke-Free Life®. Based on years of extensive medical research, our expert specialists in tobacco-dependence have created a proven program that helps you learn new skills and behaviors, reduce cravings through the use of proven medications for nicotine-replacement and learn new strategies for dealing with difficult situations upon your return to home that could lead to a relapse.

Traditional smoking-cessation programs focus on behavior modification, however, research shows that using medication for nicotine-replacement dramatically improves results because it improves patient comfort. Our physicians will help you manage withdrawal with individually tailored medication therapy. Instead of feeling anxious, angry or depressed without tobacco, you’ll feel good and be able to implement the strategies we teach to support your recovery from tobacco addiction forever.

Here, we also focus on the underlying issues of addiction, not just the physical reliance. You’ll leave the program with an understanding of addiction and a personalized “toolbox” of strategies designed to prevent relapse and keep you smoke-free.
