Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital
 

Smoking

There is no smoking within the hospital. The only designated smoking facility is located outside on the G-level of the parking deck.

Quitting smoking is the most important thing you can do to protect your health.

  1. Cigarette smoking is the most preventable cause of illness and death in the U.S.
  2. You are at higher risk of having health problems if you already have heart or blood vessel problems and smoke.
  3. The risk of lung disease increases if you presently smoke, inhale deeply or have smoked for many years.
  4. Even if you try and fail, you learn important information about yourself that can help you succeed in the future.

If you are willing to quit smoking at this time, let us help. Effective nicotine replacement medications, behavioral therapies and other effective treatments are available during and after your hospital stay. For more information, call UMDNJ Tobacco Dependency Program at (732) 235-8222.
