Freedom From Smoking | Smoking Cessation Course

The Metro Nashville Public Health Department is offering this course for individuals committed to quitting smoking. Beginning Jan. 17, the in-person group clinics include eight sessions over the course of seven weeks with a small group of 8 to 16 people. Led by a certified American Lung Association-trained facilitator, the program features a step-by-step plan for quitting smoking and transitioning to a smoke-free lifestyle. Each session is designed to help smokers gain control over their behavior, and because no single quit plan is effective for all smokers, the program has a variety of evidence-based techniques for individuals to combine into their own plan to quit smoking. Participants are encouraged to work on the process and problems of quitting, individually and as part of a group. The course will be held at the Lentz Public Health Center. Participants will need to complete a registration form. Payments will be taken online and on-site, a week in advance. Payment methods accepted include credit card, cash, check or money order. All fees are non-refundable.
