Smoking Cessation Program

Cigarette smoking is the single leading cause of preventable death in the United States, killing more than 480,000 people every year and accounting for about 90% of all lung cancer deaths.

Despite those facts, it is a habit that is extremely difficult to break. In fact, according to the CDC, more than half of adult smokers have tried to quit—unsuccessfully—in the last year.

At Texas IPS, we understand the challenges associated with smoking cessation, and we’re equipped to help patients improve their chances of successfully quitting.

Our team of specialists will help you build a smoking cessation plan that works for you, and connect you with medication and resources like counseling. We’re here to help you take better control over your own health—today.

“Dr. Melo and his staff are excellent. I had pulmonary hypertension and they were wonderful to work with. After my double-lung transplant in Houston, I went back to these wonderful professionals to keep a doctor I trusted on board in San Antonio. They’re patient and listen to their clients’ questions and concerns. Highly recommended.”

“I have been a patient at Texas IPS in San Antonio for 7 years, in treatment for my severe sleep apnea. The treatment I have received in especially these last 3 years with Dr. Manica Isiguzo has significantly improved the quality of my life. It is a joy to wake up in the morning feeling refreshed, and not to fall asleep in films or concerts in the afternoon or at night.”
