Stopping smoking — with help

What it is

The single largest health gain available at any adult age. Kupot fund workshops and medication.

from 18 · until 100

If you smoke or vape: one more attempt, with support

Start preparing

1. Combined support — a kupah workshop plus medication or nicotine replacement — roughly triples the success rate over willpower alone.
2. Most people who stop have made several attempts. A relapse is data, not failure.
3. Vaping is not a finish line; plan the exit from it too.
4. Blood pressure improves within days and the lung and heart risk keeps falling for years.
