Start of New Smoking Cessation Class

Description:

As part of our comprehensive approach to prevention and early detection, Northside offers a Smoking Cessation Program to help individuals quit smoking.

The 6-week class educates participants about the hazards of smoking, the benefits of quitting and strategies/skills to cope with urges. The class is conducted primarily in a group setting, with face-to-face interaction that allows participants to learn from each other’s experiences, but also includes web-based sessions for convenience.

Each class is led by a behavioral therapist and an American Lung Association certified facilitator. Respiratory therapists and nutritionists visit the group to help provide you with 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.
