How to Stop Smoking in Ohio

Since the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation closed its doors in 2008, many Ohio residents struggle to find the support necessary to stop smoking. The state money used for this program is now spent on resources for jobless residents, which left a void in the smoking community. Most smokers want to quit and need support to quit for good. There are still resources available in Ohio, and thousands of smokers use these resources to support their efforts.
