4/17/2008

If you smoke or use smokeless tobacco, NOW is the time to quit. Get out and enjoy the fresh spring air and make the commitment to a tobacco-free life.

Room is available in the next Stop Smoking classes, which start Tuesday, May 6, and run for the following three Tuesdays (May 13, 20, and 27). Classes last about one hour and are offered at three separate times: 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., and 10 p.m. Learn from a professional counselor about the best methods to quit. The program has a 70 percent success rate. Classes are free to employees and dependents.

All classes are conducted in the Healthcare Center wellness classroom. Participants in the program are eligible to receive free nicotine patches from the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line. Smokeless tobacco users ready to quit also are welcome to attend.

If you are ready to make a change, call the Healthcare Center at (937) 283-9289 to sign up. Space is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. Quitting smoking is easier with a buddy, so bring your spouse or a friend and call now.
