The American Lung Association’s “Freedom From Smoking” clinic focuses on evidence based cessation practices in a small group setting. Participants spend seven weeks learning how to overcome tobacco addiction. Topics include preparing for quit-day, lifestyle changes to support quitting, managing stress and staying smoke free for good!
The sessions, led by a Y-instructor who has been certified by the American Lung Association, are offered at two different times. Participants can register for either a morning or evening clinic. The morning clinic meets on Tuesdays (November 6 through December 18) from 10 am to 11:30 am and the evening clinic meets from 4:30 pm to 6 pm. Both clinics, being offered at the YMCA’s Sturgeon Bay Program Center include an additional session on Thursday November 29 for extra support during “Quit Week.”
Addiction to nicotine is a debilitating burden for any individual.
