Our six-week cessation classes educate you about the hazards of smoking and using other forms of tobacco, the benefits of quitting and the strategies and skills to cope with your urges.

Classes are offered during afternoon and evening hours. Remote/online options available. They are conducted primarily in a group setting, which allows you to learn from each other’s experiences.

A Northside Hospital trained smoking and tobacco cessation facilitator leads each class and behavioral health specialists, respiratory therapists and nutritionists “visit” the group to help provide you with support and guidance along the way. You will receive a class workbook and nicotine replacement therapy (if qualified).
