Stop Smoking
Quitting is hard. You don't have to do it alone.
Tobacco use is the most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in America. Tobacco harms the people who use it and everyone who comes in contact with secondhand smoke. To make Louisville a healthier place to live we work to help people stop smoking. Each of these free and easy ways to quit uses nicotine replacement products, group support, or counseling.
Classes with Peers
The American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking clinic is for adults who are ready to quit smoking. Because most people know that smoking is dangerous to their health, the program focuses on how to quit, not why to quit.
What can I expect?
- FFS consists of eight sessions led by a Lung Association-trained facilitator in a small-group setting (8 to 10 people). Participants receive personalized attention and benefit from peer support.
- FFS includes nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patches, and lozenges) and information about other smoking cessation medications such as Zyban® and Chantix®.
- FFS has helped over a million Americans end their addiction to nicotine and begin smokefree lives. Freedom From Smoking® was ranked the most effective smoking cessation program in a study by Fordham University Graduate School of Business.
