Smoking Cessation Program

Every year, smoking claims more than 480,000 lives in the United States—more than alcohol, illegal drugs, motor vehicle crashes, and firearms combined. Yet, the moment you quit, your body begins to heal: within 20 minutes, heart rate drops; within weeks, lung function begins to improve; and within a year, heart attack risk is cut in half.

Quitting before age 40 cuts the risk of dying from smoking-related disease by about 90%.

At Texas IPS, we know that quitting is a process, not a single act of willpower. Our program blends medical expertise, behavioral support, and accountability to help patients quit for good—whether it’s your first attempt or your fifth.

How We Help:

• One-on-one counseling to explore motivations, set quit dates, and address triggers
• FDA-approved medications, including nicotine replacement, bupropion, and varenicline, tailored to your needs
• Relapse prevention planning to keep you smoke-free during high-risk times
• Support for patients with lung disease, integrating cessation into broader COPD, asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis care
• Ongoing follow-up via in-person visits or telehealth check-ins to keep progress on track

Combining counseling with medication more than doubles quit success rates compared to minimal support

Breaking free from tobacco is one of the most powerful steps you can take for your health. We’re here to help you make it—and keep it—permanent.
