One week left to register for free Quit Tobacco series
Don’t pass up this opportunity to make spring
your season to quit tobacco. The Department of Public Health is offering a free tobacco
cessation program to anyone who would like to quit smoking, dipping, chewing or
vaping.
The series begins March 26 and will meet on Tuesdays for seven weeks from 5:30 -
7:00 p.m. at the Department of Public Health, located at 1200 Spartanburg Highway in
Hendersonville.
A trained facilitator will lead discussions to explore practical ways to reduce the urge to
use tobacco, handle friends and family who continue to use tobacco, build healthful new
habits and other practical tips. Quit Day is during week four with support and additional
tips to follow.
“Spring is a great time for new beginnings including quitting tobacco. Participants will
benefit from the resources and great support of others,” said Beverly Clark, smoking
cessation facilitator. “Quitting with a group helps because individuals share challenges
they are facing and discuss strategies that have worked.”
The series, a resource book and materials are free, but preregistration is required. To
register or for more information, call (828) 694-6065 or email
