TOBACCO / SMOKING CESSATION
Smoking (nicotine) is as addictive as any hard drug, such as heroin or morphine. But, if you want a chance at breathing easier and living a full, quality of life, you have no choice. You have to quit now. And you can do it.
Hanover Hospital offers a quarterly "Freedom from Smoking" group clinic. This class creates a friendly and safe environment to explore the world of tobacco use. It is a self-empowering 7-session course that teaches behavior modification, stress management and examines lifestyle issues as they relate to smoking. It also utilizes the "buddy system" to incorporate peer support during the quitting process, and is facilitated by an American Lung Association certified smoking cessation educator. Various Nicotine Replacement Therapies will also be reviewed. If the group setting isn’t for you, we also offer one-on-one sessions. Please contact the tobacco cessation counselor at 717-633-8893.
