There is nothing harder to quit, no habit so radically hazardous to one’s health yet difficult to break, than tobacco use. A great resource is Philadelphia Department of Public Health’s Smoke Free Philly initiative and the PA Free Quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) - a telephone-based counseling service for Pennsylvanians that offers free, confidential coaching and lifestyle tips toward the cessation of smoking with no judgment.
