Start of New BUILT TO QUIT Smoking & Tobacco Cessation Class

Meeting: Tuesday, November 12, 2019, starting at 12:00 AM

Description:

For specific locations and times, call or email: (404) 780-7653 or smokingcessation@northside.com.

As part of our comprehensive approach to prevention and early detection, Northside Hospital Cancer Institute offers BUILT TO QUIT, a six-week smoking and tobacco cessation program to help individuals quit smoking and using other tobacco products.

This six-week class educates participants about the benefits of quitting smoking and tobacco, and offers tips on how to:

Quit smoking and using tobacco
Manage stress
Avoid weight gain
Cope with withdrawal symptoms

The class is conducted primarily in a group setting, with face-to-face interaction that allows participants to learn from each other’s experiences. Some locations offer afternoon and evening class times. Remote/online classes are also available upon request.

Each class is led by an American Lung Association certified facilitator. Respiratory therapists, behavioral therapists and nutritionists visit the group to help provide support and guidance along the way. Participants will receive nicotine replacement therapy (if qualified) and a hard copy curriculum with a smoking cessation meditation CD. Lunch/dinner is provided.
