Tobacco Use, Smoking, and Vaping

Not ready or don't want to quit

Not everyone who smokes is ready to quit or even wants to quit. No amount of pressure from doctors, family, or friends can make you do it. It needs to be your decision for your own reasons.

If the timing isn’t right for you now, it’s still a good idea to check in with yourself and know when it might be. There are also things you can do to make smoking less harmful to you and those around you.
