Quit Tobacco

Your first step is to attend your one-on-one appointment with your health educator to go over your tobacco history and quitting options, and create a personalized quitting plan.  

• Meet with your health educator each month
• View the video Start Living Tobacco Free

After 90 days, attend a 30-minute exit appointment with your health educator to discuss your progress and determine your ongoing treatment plan. 

• Fitness facilities  – Fitness facilities are open to the entire workforce and offer a variety of cardio and resistance training equipment, perfect for morning, lunchtime, or after-work exercise sessions. To use the facilities, you must complete the PAR-Q form, and in New Mexico, you must also schedule a gym orientation. Call 505-844-2437 to schedule your orientation.
• Energy Hubs  – Our Energy Hub locations are spaces for mindfulness, meditation, stretching, and movement that can help you recharge, restore, and renew your mind and body for increased productivity, health, and safety.

• Journaling  – Think about what has triggered you to want to smoke/chew and write it down. Look at your list of triggers and identify ways to overcome them.
• Deep breathing – For many, smoking/chewing serves as a stress reliever. Instead of using tobacco products to relieve stress, try taking a few moments to do a deep breathing exercise. The Breathe to Relax video can help.
