Griffin Health in Derby offers free smoking cessation program

DERBY - Griffin Health offers education, advice, and support to help individuals prepare to quit smoking with an upcoming session of its free tobacco and nicotine cessation program.

“That’s It – Learn to Quit” teaches a variety of methods to help individuals quit smoking over the course of six weekly meetings. 

There will be sessions at The Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital on Mondays Jan. 13, 20, and 27, and Feb. 3, 10, and 17 from 5:30-7 p.m., and on Mondays Jan. 20 and 27, and Feb. 3, 10, 17, and 24 from 2-3:30 p.m.

The program encourages participants to acknowledge and honor past successes in their goal to quit tobacco. 

The goal is to help individuals learn how to stop using tobacco without the guilt, shame, and fear of failure by teaching several different methods of quitting and managing nicotine withdrawal. Through group discussion and interactive activities, participants learn how to develop a quit plan that addresses their personal behaviors and habits. 

Strategies to manage nicotine withdrawal, behaviors, triggers, and urges are discussed as well as weight control and stress management.

Participants must be prepared to attend all six sessions. 

To register, visit griffinhealth.org/tobacco-cessation or call 203-732-1369.
