We are pleased to report that the majority of students at NIU do not smoke, and we want to encourage and empower anyone interested in quitting to get started! There are many benefits to not using, or stopping the use of tobacco products. Saving money, more energy and better health are just some of the positive outcomes to quitting. If you are thinking about becoming a non-smoker here are some things to consider:
- Write down all the reasons you have for quitting.
