Tobacco Free Florida AHEC Cessation Program
Providing Cessation Services to Tobacco Users
Through Tobacco Free Florida’s Quit Your Way Program, GNAHEC offers two Group Quit programs to tobacco users free of charge: a one-time, 2-hour Tools to Quit class and a multi-session, one-hour Quit Smoking Now class. Both programs offer education on the health effects related to tobacco use, but more importantly, they teach the benefits of quitting and what to expect when quitting. GNAHEC’s Tobacco Cessation Specialists and trained facilitators guide attendees as they identify their reasons for quitting, barriers and triggers, and learn skills to cope with withdrawal symptoms.
Both programs offer free nicotine replacement therapy (while supplies last), educational materials, supplemental materials for their quit day, and follow-up support.
