Freedom from Smoking is a Cessation program Begins March 23
As midterm quickly approaches it is not too late to quit smoking by the end of the semester. If you smoke, consider making a lifestyle change to quit smoking. Hawkeye College will support your decision to make a lifestyle change to quit by offering a Smoking Cessation Online Class. Freedom from Smoking is a Cessation program through the American Lung Association that provides a supportive and structured approach to quitting smoking. The program includes a variety of evidence-based approaches to quitting, and generates a much higher quit rate than for those who try to quit on their own. The Freedom from Smoking program is eight sessions. Three of these classes are spent in planning and preparation before the Quit Date. Sessions after the Quit Date focus on providing skills and support to help participants stay smoke free. Participants will learn strategies on how to avoid situations that may lead them to smoking and how to handle cravings. Some of the topics covered include: * Making the decision to quit * Nicotine replacement therapy * Smoking cessation medications like Chantix and Zyban * Coping strategies * Managing stress * Avoiding weight gain * Handling social situations * Preventing relapse Program facilitators and the Student Health Clinic are also available for support between sessions. This class will be offered through the convenience of an online class format providing the feel of a group atmosphere with flexibility. This class will be held through HCC's Angel Online system. Class Dates: The class will begin on March 23, 2009 and run for seven weeks, ending by the time the semester ends. Cost: FREE to HCC Students, Faculty, and Staff To Register: 319-296-2320 ext. 1128 or czubrod@hawkeyecollege.edu <mailto:czubrod@hawkeyecollege.edu>
