The Center for Healthy Living is taking registrations now for its Living Tobacco Free series. Program participants will meet noon-12:50 p.m. each Wednesday from Oct. 1 to Nov. 5.
Participants will learn tips and techniques to prepare them to stop using tobacco. The center's health coaches will lead the series, placing special focus on:
* Changing behavior.
* Overcoming withdrawal and cravings.
* Coping with stress.
* Managing weight.
* Preventing relapses.
Everyone who successfully completes the series by Nov. 14 will be eligible for a waiver of the tobacco-user additional premium on their 2015 Purdue medical plan, effective Jan. 1.
