Tobacco Free Allegheny in partnership with Mercy Behavioral Health is available to help you help your employees quit smoking. Many workplaces have programs to help smokers quit through their own wellness initiatives or through their health insurance plan. If your workplace does not offer such a program, a counselor can arrange to come and conduct groups for any of your employees interested in quitting smoking.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health developed DeterminedToQuit.com to provide an online community that gives smokers a multi-functional Quit Companion tool that allows them to update and monitor their quit attempts as their quit attempt progresses, enter their lapses via an email form or text messaging from their mobile phone, schedule messages to be delivered automatically to their cell phones at specific times to help themselves fend off potential lapses during normal smoking breaks and receive messages of encouragement from loved ones, and view video blogs featuring fellow smokers currently trying to quit.
