Want to kick smoking in time for spring? Carson Tahoe Health offers quit classes to help
Carson Tahoe Health welcomes all who want to quit and to be a part of a supportive, group effort for smoking cessation. The 2024 second round of 8-week classes begins Thursday, Feb. 29. Heading into spring is the perfect time to kick the smoking habit.
I would like to personally welcome you to join us. The schedule for the upcoming class, and the small steps below, will lead you to giant success. Together we can do this!
The class sessions are:
Session 1: Thinking About Quitting – Thursday, Feb. 29 Leap year day!
Session 2: On the Road to Freedom – Thursday, March 7
Session 3: Wanting to Quit – Thursday, March 14
Session 4: Quit Day – Thursday, March 21
Session 5: The New You – Thursday, March 28
Session 6: Staying Smoke free for good – Thursday, April 4
Session 7: Celebration and Bring Food! – Thursday, April 11
All classes will be held at the Conference Center at the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center, located at 1535 Medical Parkway, Carson City, from 4 to 5 p.m.
Please call 775-445-7651, email smokefreeNV@gmail.com or click here to register and together we will make this happen. Your friends or family members are welcome too. Just a reminder, Quit Day isn’t planned until the fourth week, therefore you do not need to stop smoking before class starts.
The price for the entire seven week class is $20, which covers the cost of materials. Upon completion, you will be refunded $10. You are welcome to attend as many classes as you like in the future at no additional cost, just bring your book.
If you are unable to attend these classes, there is another option: 1-800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669) is free and only involves a phone call at your convenience or enroll here. These resources will provide support and nicotine replacement aids to help you become smoke free.
