VA Resources to Stop Smoking

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is helping veterans to quit smoking. Of veterans who have ever smoked who are enrolled in VA health care, 71 percent have successfully quit smoking, showing that quitting is possible. VA health care providers offer a range of cessation resources, including individual counseling, group classes, phone and telehealth clinics, and FDA-approved medications. VA also offers resources such as Quit VET, a toll-free national line; SmokefreeVET, a text messaging service; and Stay Quit Coach, a mobile app specifically designed to help Veterans quit tobacco.
