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, November 2, from 5:30pm-6:30pm at MCDH Crystal Lake office (100 N Virginia Street). The $25 enrollment fee is refundable if all sessions are attended. Call 815-334-4931 to register.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. More than 70% of smokers want to quit and attempt to do so each year, but without help, most fail. Smoking cessation counseling and medicines are proven to help and improve quit rates. MCDH 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 products, behavior modification, copies strategies, stress and weight management, and how to stay smoke-free for good.
