Smoking Cessation program
Smoking Cessation
The American Lung Association's Freedom from Smoking provides a supportive group environment and teaches a step-by-step method for changing behavior and quitting smoking for long-term freedom. No two smokers are alike, so the program begins by finding out how ready an individual is to quit smoking. The people, places and things that trigger the smoking will be evaluated and a quitting plan will be developed to fit their specific needs. It uses a positive behavior change approach that shows smokers how to live smoke-free and have some fun with the group as they quit together.
The seven-week, eight-session program covers topics such as preparation for quitting, identifying triggers, coping with social situations, avoiding weight gain, managing stress, and quit smoking medications. The cost of this program is $20. Freedom From Smoking® is funded by the AGH Foundation through the Alice C. Webb Wellness Fund. Pre-registration is required for this program.
