The next 2013 Quit Smoking / Tobacco Cessation Group will meet from noon – 1 p.m. Tuesdays starting May 7 at FHN Memorial Hospital in Freeport. The cost of the group is $60 and must be paid at the time of enrollment. Space is limited to 20 participants. To enroll in the May group, call 815-599-7300.
Smokebrakers is an individualized program that begins with an assessment of your smoking or tobacco use patterns, and can be used along with popular stop-smoking techniques like gum, the graduated nicotine patch or medication. It does not employ guilt or shocking images in its approach; it helps participants create and stick to a solid plan for success in quitting smoking for good.
Smokebrakers is $60.
