Learn to be Tobacco Free

The Suffolk County Office of Health Education will offer its smoking cessation program. This series of 6 one-hour sessions will provide important information about the three aspects of nicotine dependence: physical, psychological and habitual. The emphasis is on preparing to quit. Those who use all forms of tobacco (including cigars, pipe and chew tobacco) will also find the program beneficial. Nicotine replacement therapies, such as gum and patches, will be available free of charge under the supervision of a clinical nurse practitioner.

The program is free and open to Suffolk County residents. Registration is required and begins March 1 at 9 a.m. Patrons with a valid card from a Suffolk County library may register online at shpl.info. Others must call or register in person. Enrollment is limited.

Additional Dates : 3/29, 4/5, 4/12, 4/19, 4/26
