Uncas Health District is offering a tobacco cessation (quit smoking) program to help adults quit using tobacco and electronic nicotine delivery (vaping) products. The program’s goal is to remove common barriers by offering quit aids, coaching, and social support at no cost.

Programs are open to those who live or work in Eastern Connecticut. The program uses the American Lung Association’s “Freedom from Smoking®” curriculum to help participants quit tobacco in eight sessions over seven weeks. Participants will receive free nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum, and lozenges). Individual counseling is available by appointment if interested participants can’t attend the group program or would prefer one-on-one support.

The first class starts on Monday, September 16th, 2024, at 6:30 pm via ZOOM.

“Quitting tobacco is a huge step towards improving your health and preventing disease. Ask any former tobacco user; it’s the best decision they’ve ever made,” said Program Facilitator Carolyn Wilson. “Sometimes it takes several attempts to be successful, but creating a plan, seeking support, and developing a set of strategies is the best course of action. It’s important to never give up on the journey to becoming tobacco-free.”

This program is supported by the Health & Human Services Block Grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The tobacco cessation program is FREE.  A reliable internet connection with access to the ZOOM platform is needed.

Participants will receive a free program workbook, FREE nicotine replacement therapy and other helpful quit aids. To register for the program, contact Carolyn Wilson at (860) 400-2072 (call or text).
