Quit Tobacco/Vape

With over 480,000 Americans dying every year from tobacco, including 1,800 Idahoans, Panhandle Health District is committed to helping our community quit nicotine addiction. We offer group classes for teens and a telephone consult/mail program for adults in the Northern Idaho area to help you quit smoking, vaping, or using dip.

Teens

Preventing youth from ever starting to use nicotine is our goal! We partner with schools and other youth organizations to provide prevention education and tools that youth can use to stay nicotine free. Contact us if you would like us to present to your youth organization or school.

Panhandle Health District also offers group quit tobacco and e-cigarette classes designed to address the needs and lifestyles of middle and high school students. The INDEPTH curriculum is designed especially for teens. It not only focuses on quitting, but also on social skills, stress management, decision making, goal setting, nutrition and physical activity.

Adults

We offer an effective and successful 3-Call Program for adults. Clients are provided nicotine patches, gum or lozenges if they desire and a quit-kit. During the 3-call program, clients will discuss tips for dealing with cravings and withdrawal symptoms, stress management, and progress in quitting. Throughout the process, we mail items that are helpful for quitting tobacco and e-cigarettes.

We also provide adult tobacco cessation group classes upon request. We use the American Cancer Society Freshstart curriculum. Freshstart is designed to help smokers plan a successful quit attempt by providing essential information, skills for coping with cravings, and tools for quitting. The program will help you quickly quit tobacco as well as learn new techniques for ending your physical and psychological need to smoke, vape, or dip.
