One of the best healthy lifestyle behaviors to support heart health is to stop the use of nicotine products such as smoking, chewing, and vaping.
It’s no secret that nicotine use is bad for your health, but quitting can be easier said than done. When you’re ready to live a nicotine-free life, Providence is here to help.
Empower to Quit: Understanding Your Nicotine-Free Journey

During this class, you will gain knowledge and confidence in the journey of deciding to be nicotine free, the small steps needed along the way, the challenges and tools to overcome, and the empowered mindset to ultimately live nicotine free.

Curious about the possibility of quitting nicotine — or who may not be ready to take a step to reduce or quit — but would like to learn more about the process.
Ready to take the steps to reducing and ultimately quitting by engaging in a group dynamic meant to support each other on a similar path.

With quitting nicotine having such a tremendous impact on your heart health, Basecamp Prevention + Wellness, part of the Providence Heart Institute, is proud to offer this opportunity at no cost to everyone, everywhere. We believe in the power of feeling well, and that starts with having access — without burden — to the resources supporting healthy lifestyle behaviors.
