RIHCA is recruiting participants for free tobacco treatment/smoking cessation classes.
· The classes are targeted for the uninsured and include free NRT if participants want to use the patch, gum or lozenge.
· Classes typically meet one hour per week for 8 weeks.
· Classes are facilitated by Tobacco Treatment Specialists (TTS) who have received specialized training.
· Facilitators are committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment for smokers ready to tackle quitting.
· We will be adding additional locations in the future.
· Those interested in a specific class need to call the contact listed to schedule an intake session.
· Please contact me directly for general information. Email & Phone # are listed in my signature at the bottom of this message.
