Resources to Quit Smoking

Let Torrance Memorial help you kick the habit to the curb

Smokers have more tools than ever to help quit smoking for good – there’s a wide range of counseling services, smoking cessation programs, self-help materials, nicotine replacement therapies, support groups and medicines available.

Some people are able to quit on their own, without the help of others or the use of medicines. But for many smokers, it can be hard to break the social and emotional ties to smoking while getting over nicotine withdrawal symptoms at the same time. Fortunately, here at Torrance Memorial we have many services and programs to help you be smoke-free.
