How does the Tobacco Cessation program work?

• You pick a time that is good for you when you are really ready to quit.
• Call and register for the class.
• When you arrive, you will meet the facilitator and other group members. They are there for the same reason as you.
• The facilitator sets the group quit date, and determines what you need for Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).
• The facilitator will supply you with many different “Quit tools”, and will lead group discussions.
• After the session ends - the facilitator will follow up with you after one, three, six, nine, and 12 months to help you stay on track.
