Lakewood, NJ -----  Every year, we come up with New Year’s resolutions.  If yours happens to be quitting smoking, than you may need some assistance in kicking the habit.

Nicotine is a powerful drug found in all tob acco products. It is highly addictive like cocaine and heroin.  Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals in addition to nicotine. Some of the toxic chemicals found in tobacco smoke are known to cause cancer.

Over 400,000 Americans die each year from smoking-related illnesses — more than from AIDS, alcohol/drug abuse, fires, car accidents, suicides and homicides combined.
