Want To Quit Smoking?

The McHenry County Department of Health (MCDH) will offer the American Lung Association’s “Freedom from Smoking” program, a 7-week quit smoking class for adults. The program begins on Tuesday, September 7, from 6pm-7:30pm at McHenry County College, 8900 Northwest Highway (Route 14), in Crystal Lake. The $25 enrollment fee is refundable if all sessions are attended. To register, call MCDH at 815-334-4525.

Classes give participants the assistance and tools needed to stop smoking in a supportive group setting. The program will discuss your readiness to quit, nicotine replacement therapy, behavior modification, copies strategies, stress and weight management, and how to stay smoke-free for good.
