A Quit Kit is designed to help students resist the urge to smoke or use chew tobacco during the cessation process. These kits include items that can provide distraction from tobacco use as well as resource information. Quit kits can be distributed during any campus-sponsored event, health fair or for the Great American Smokeout.

Be creative, you know what your students like. Include those items in your quit kits. Also, don’t limit when you hand out the quit kits, they can be a valuable tool for someone who is thinking or trying to quit smoking. Use the quit kit as a way to reach students who are trying to quit smoking. It’s hard to quit!
