The program will be overseen by an American Lung Association certified facilitator and will include the following topics: how to know if you’re really ready to quit, medications that can increase your success, lifestyle changes to make quitting easier, how to prepare for your quit day, coping strategies for managing stress and avoiding weight gain, and how to stay smoke-free for good.
