Tobacco Free for Good Cessation Class
Employer medical costs and lost productivity associated with tobacco use are staggering. Fortunately, an estimated 80% of all smokers want to quit. Employers should understand that quitting is a process; each attempt to quit is a part of the process, helping the user identify triggers and cessation aids. Success usually takes several attempts.
The challenge:
- An estimated 80% of all smokers want to quit, but nicotine is an addictive drug that affects the chemical makeup of the brain.
- Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness and death, responsible for more than 400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.
- Smoking is a known cause of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Tobacco Free for Good is a course designed to help addicted tobacco users give up cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco. A facilitator guides the group discussions and tailors each class to participant needs.
- Seven two-hour sessions, unless configured otherwise in a worksite setting
- Offered for groups of 15 to 30 participants
Fees include:
- Trained cessation instructor
