SmokefreeVET is a partnership between VA and the National Cancer Institute’s Smokefree.gov Initiative. This partnership began with the SmokefreeVET text messaging program and this website.

On this site, you can find information and tools created with Veterans’ needs in mind. In addition to SmokefreeVET, VA offers many additional tools and resources to help you or a loved one become smokefree.
