Dr. Ivan Hernandez of Bayview Center for Mental Health, Inc. answered:Yes, in many communities, there are nicotine addiction support groups that you can attend in person; online groups are also available. Linda L. Klein, author of The Support Group Source Book, writes, “Support groups are communities made up of kindred souls - people who share a common, defining life experience.” Choose a group and participate effectively.
