How To Quit

Faith-Based Methods

For many people, faith-based organizations can be a valuable source of information and support to help quit smoking successfully. A year-long study among African Americans showed that people who smoke who received support from pastors and fellow churchgoers were twice as likely to make progress toward quitting as compared to those who only got a self-help pamphlet at their churches.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health sponsors a faith-based program called Love Thy Neighbor to help African Americans in Pennsylvania to quit smoking successfully. You can find more information about that program below.
