Are you ready to stop using tobacco products?
We’re here to help! We understand that quitting is hard work and sometimes taking the first step to quit can be even harder. Wherever you’re at in your quit journey, Cancer Pathways is here to support and guide you in a judgement-free space.
We offer tobacco cessation/quit workshops and support for both teens and adults who use tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, vapes, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, etc. Learn more about our quitting opportunities below:
Group Support
We offer in-person ‘Quit the Nic’ Workshops for teens who vape, smoke, or use any other tobacco products and want to quit. We utilize the American Lung Association’s Not On Tobacco curriculum, a 9-week voluntary program that provides essential tools, resources, and social support to help teens overcome nicotine dependence. Sessions build on the previous week’s content, so participants are expected to attend all sessions.
Intervention Workshop
Our facilitators are also trained to offer the INDEPTH program for youth and teens who have violated a campus tobacco-free policy. INDEPTH is a 4 session alternative to suspension or citation program that teaches students about nicotine dependence and how to find healthy alternatives.
Interested in bringing a Quit the Nic workshop or INDEPTH to your school or community? Please email [email protected]

Quotes from Prior Participants
“Great resource to aid in my mission to quit smoking. I think the accountability aspect of it was the most helpful part for me.”
“Jana and Lauren are SO WONDERFUL. I can’t speak highly enough about their knowledge and guidance. It was great to have a small group to work with weekly who held each other accountable.
“I think the program is awesome and I know I would not have quit smoking without all the support this program provided.”
“Very fun and informative. This has to be the best information we’ve received on quitting smoking. Now we understand why all the doctors recommended a smoking cessation class.”
