Tobacco Treatment

How we can help

Stop-smoking consultations

Any member of the MIT community can get a free quit-smoking consultation with Community Wellness tobacco treatment specialist Lauren Mayhew. During this consultation, she can help you:

• Develop a quit plan
• Come up with strategies for coping with triggers and cravings
• Learn about prescription and over-the-counter medications that can help you quit (you will need to see a doctor or nurse practitioner for prescriptions)

To make an appointment, call 617-258-6965 or send an email to helpmequit@med.mit.edu.
