NMCP also offers several other avenues for tobacco cessation. For help, visit the American Cancer Society's Web site at www.cancer.org, or call the Centers for Disease Control at 800-CDC-1311. Individual Navy medical centers also usually offer tobacco cessation classes to help smokers quit, often offering cessation aids, like nicotine gum, patches, or prescription drugs. To sign up for these classes, contact your medical provider.
