Suwannee River Area Health Education Center presents a program designed to help you quit tobacco use. Call 866-341-2730 for required registration.
Tobacco Cessation: Do you smoke? Do you dip? Do you want to quit?
IQuit with AHEC in partnership with Tobacco Free Florida is a free program created by ex-smokers and led by trained facilitators who will guide you through the quitting process. Participants in the class receive support, guidance, and a free one month supply of nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches, lozenges, and gum (while supplies last and if medically appropriate). Suwannee River AHEC is holding FREE two hour classes at the Library Partnership and other locations. These programs cover all forms of tobacco from cigarettes, cigars, to smokeless tobacco. Research shows that tobacco users who receive counseling and use medication during their quit attempt have twice the rate of success.
***REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
