Smoking Cessation Programs

Massachusetts General Hospital offers services and programs to help patients and their family members become nonsmokers.

Living Tobacco-Free

MGH Community Health Associates’ Living Tobacco-Free program helps people quit cigarettes and other forms of tobacco. Trained coaches work one-on-one with people who are thinking about quitting tobacco to help them create an individualized plan for quitting. Coaches coordinate with a person’s medical providers and will make referrals to other helpful resources. Our services are free to everyone, without any copay. The program is available at the Mass General community health centers in Revere, Charlestown, Chelsea and Everett. To schedule your free appointment, call 781-485-6210.
