Freshstart
Smoke Cessation Program
Start a new life without cigarettes!
|
Freshstart is the American Cancer Society's
quit-smoking program. It consists of four one and one
half hour sessions held during a four week period. All
of the methods and activities contain the most effective
elements for success. The single most important
element is YOU - and your dedication to fight the
addiction to nicotine that makes you want to smoke.
How is Freshstart Unique?
- Freshstart is designed for you, the adult
smoker - no gimmicks, meaningless
group activities, or busy work.
- Freshstart makes maximum use of the
smoker's time. The format is
convenient for most people's
schedules, even in the workplace.
- While Freshstart uses group interaction
to support quitting goals, individual
situations are given more attention than
group process.
- Quitting smoking quickly is the main
goal of Freshstart, maintained by
techniques and support to keep a
smoker off cigarettes.
