By Carmella Downing, PA-C — I would like to personally welcome you to join us in a supportive, group effort for smoking cessation. The schedule for the upcoming class, and the small steps below, will lead you to giant success.

March into spring with the following classes where smokers help other smokers.

Session 1: Thinking About Quitting – Thursday, March 13
Session 2: On the Road to Freedom – Thursday, March 20
Session 3: Wanting to Quit – Thursday, March 27
Session 4: Quit Day – Thursday, April 3
Session 5: The New You – Thursday, April 10
Session 6: Staying Smoke free for good – Thursday, April 17
Session 7: Celebration & Bring Food! – Thursday, April 24

All classes will be held at Carson Tahoe Wellness Institute, located at 1470 Medical Parkway, Suite 250, Carson City from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Please call 775-445-7651 or email smokefreeNV@gmail.com and together we will make this happen. Your friends or family members are welcome too. As a reminder, Quit Day isn’t planned until the fourth week, therefore you do not need to stop smoking.

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 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 online at the website here. These resources will provide support and nicotine replacement aids to help you become smoke free.

I look forward to seeing you on March 13, 2025.
