Mission Statement  The mission statement of Quit and Live Global, Inc is to provide effective, comprehensive and easily accessible tobacco education and cessation programs to people around the world.

About Us  The Quit with Nancy™ Tobacco Cessation Program© has evolved over the 20 years, drawing on new research from the Mayo Clinic ’ s Nicotine Dependence Centers, CDC's Best Practices for Comprehensive Tobacco Control Programs, Clinical Practice Guideline from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Much of this innovative program has developed through the extensive experience of working with over 10,000 tobacco users in live programs. This science-based program offers effective, comprehensive tobacco cessation education, support and motivation to smokers and chewers.

Why this program is different…  Our Tobacco Cessation Program stands out from the others. Here are some of the reasons why: Most tobacco cessation and quit smoking programs can be summed up in a few words…  "Tobacco is bad…Quitting is good. Here ’ s a patch and a link to some websites…good luck". The Quit And Live Global philosophy of tobacco cessation and quitting smoking incorporates these basic elements, but goes on further to inform, educate, empower and even infuriate.  One of the tenants of our program is believing that it is not the tobacco users fault.  The Quit with NancyTM Tobacco Cessation ProgramC delves into the history of tobacco as a plant, the importance of tobacco in our history and culture, then on through its effects on our national and global economy. We take a hard look at the big tobacco companies, their role in advertising and their history of deception. Chances are you will hear many things that you have never heard before…and you ’ ll probably be mad. That ’ s good.  The Quit with NancyTM Tobacco Cessation ProgramC is easy to understand and simple relate to because of Nancy ’ s teaching style and philosophy. Many participants of our program have said that the program is really like taking a journey. There is a story-like quality that runs through it. Nancy teaches with metaphor, solid science, engaging visuals and facts. But most of all, she teaches with experience. Nancy has really done the magic. She has taken tobacco cessation from the traditional, boring approach and brought it into people ’ s lives in a real way. The Quit with NancyTM Tobacco Cessation ProgramC is more than engaging. She makes it personal. She cares and people can feel that.
