Quit Kit Tour – Alvernia University

Get your quit kit from us in the Student Center Cafe from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM!

In recognition of The Great American Smoke Out on November 21, 2024 our Prevention Specialist Teresa is planning COCA’s 3rd Annual No Nicotine November Traveling Quit Kit Tour! This year, we will expand the tour to include even more sites. This fall, we are hoping to hand out hundreds of Quit Kits to encourage people to quit smoking or vaping.

What’s a Quit Kit?

A Quit Kit is a reusable bag filled with items that you can reach for instead of a cigarette or vape! Everything in the kit is intended to keep you focused on quitting, with items that keep your hands and mouth busy to help fight cravings.

Our Quit Kits include: Hard candy, gum & lollipops Tea bags | Fidget toys | Flavored toothpicks | Info about free tobacco cessation classes | Stickers to remind people to “Be Patient, I’m Quitting” |  A refrigerator magnet with tips for avoiding tobacco | Tips for quitting in English & Spanish
