Tobacco cessation class starting soon
WorkLife Programs is offering a class designed to help people have success quitting smoking.
Beginning March 15 and running through April 28, the six-week Quit Smart class will meet from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at WorkLife Programs (PWF), 1402 W. State St. Amber Simons, worklife wellness specialist, will lead the class.
Quit Smart combines powerful treatments to help participants break free from tobacco. Participants attending this class will learn to ease off nicotine, use their mind to help, use a hypnosis CD and decide whether to use medication to break the habit.
