Freedom from Smoking

Freedom from Smoking is an 8 week smoking cessation  program led by trained facilitators who understand why you smoke.  Developed by the American Lung Association, the program uses a positive behavioral change approach that teaches you how to become a nonsmoker for good.  You will get special attention in developing your own quitting plan, dealing with recovery symptoms, controlling weight, managing stress through relaxation techniques that work, and being ready to fight those urges to go back to smoking.

Classes are held on Mondays from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the Wellness Center, Room 104 and begin on January 31st.

Registration fee is $25 for UCO students and $40 for UCO faculty/staff, alumni, Wellness Center members, and community. Workbook included.
