Quit Tobacco: Report Card - Health Heroes

More than 70% of people who use tobacco want to quit. These are stories of King County employees who have successfully quit tobacco. While each person's story is unique, many share similar themes that reflect what research shows works best for quitting tobacco: pick a quit date, tell your family and friends, talk to your doctor about treatment options, remember that quitting takes time and is different for everyone, and use resources around you.

You can read their stories by clicking on the links below.
