  PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE TO TOBACCO USE IN WYOMING
  
  People are more likely to quit smoking successfully if they have access to counseling and medication. Wyoming’s Quit Tobacco Program offers Wyoming residents free access to online quit tools, support from other tobacco users who are trying to quit, and other information to make a quit attempt easier. Individuals who use the quitline also have access to free cessation medication, as well as free counseling with live quit coaches. The likelihood of quitting is even higher when cessation medication is combined with quitline counseling.
