A Personalized Plan,
Including Medications
Everything You Need to
be Smoke-Free!
HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
A PROGRAM FOR YOUR
UNIQUE NEEDS
Cigarette
addiction
has
two
components: mental and physical.
Addressing both of these components
gives you a better chance of quitting.
Our pharmacists use a combination
approach to help you quit, while taking
into account your lifestyle and smoking
history:
Mental (cravings and habits):
Smoking cessation isn’t easy, but
you don’t have to do it alone! The
caring and knowledgeable clinical
pharmacists at USC can give you
the tools you need to be smokefree for life.
• Identify your smoking
triggers
• Eliminate the association
between your daily
activities and smoking
• Find new, healthy rewards
• Incorporate diet and exercise
Physical (withdrawal symptoms):
Even if you have tried to quit
before, don’t be discouraged! We
work one-on-one with you to
develop a plan to control cravings,
reduce withdrawal symptoms,
and let you live happy, healthy,
and smoke-free!
• Create an action plan
to manage
withdrawal
symptoms
• Initiate medications
if needed
o Nicotine replacement products
o Prescription medications
Studies demonstrate better results with
a combination of counseling and
medication than with either approach
alone.
