Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone and Health Commissioner James Tomarken, MD, encourage residents who use tobacco to take advantage of the Suffolk County’s “Learn to Be …Tobacco Free” program.
“This year, as we launch Healthy Suffolk, we encourage all residents to take advantage of the supports that will enable them to live longer, healthier lives.” said County Executive Bellone.
“This program works,” said Dr. Tomarken. “Recent studies have shown that smokers who try to quit smoking using a combination of behavioral support and medicine or nicotine replacement products are three times more likely to be successful than those who try to stop smoking without support.”
