Want to quit smoking? Carson Tahoe Cardiology offers cessation classes beginning in July
Carson Tahoe Cardiology has re-activated its smoking cessation supportive group, which offers class sessions beginning this July and extending through August. It has been over a year since our last classes. The schedule for the upcoming classes and the small steps below will lead you to a giant success!
Together we can do this. It is time to become smoke free. The sessions are as follows:
Session 1: Thinking about Quitting, Thursday, July 8
Session 2: on the Road to Freedom, Thursday, July 15
Session 3: Wanting to Quit, Thursday, July 22
Session 4: Quit Day, Thursday, July 29
Session 5: Winning Strategies, Monday, August 2
Session 6: The New You, Thursday, August 5
Session 7: Staying Smoke Free for Good, Thursday, August 12
Session 8: Celebration and Bring Food, Thursday, August 19
All classes will be held at Carson Tahoe Wellness Institute, 1470 Medical Parkway, Suite 250, Carson City, from 4 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. 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, or (800-784-8669.) This is free and only involves a phone call at your convenience or you can enroll online at www.nevadatobaccoquitline.com
These resources will provide support and nicotine replacement aids to help you become smoke free.
I look forward to seeing you on July 8! Current Covid recommendations will be followed. No social distancing, no mask if vaccinated, mask if NOT vaccinated. Go here for more information and here to watch a video of Carson Tahoe Cardiology's smoking cessation program.
