Parrish Medical Center to Co-Host Quit Your Way Tobacco Program
TITUSVILLE, FLA. (September 26, 2018)—Parrish Medical Center is partnering with the Florida Department of Health to host the Quit Your Way program. The program consists of two different courses. The Tools to Quit program is a free, two-hour class on Tuesday, Oct. 9 from 6–8 p.m. The next course is the free Quit Smoking Now program that will be held every Tuesday, Oct.23–Nov. 20 from 6–7 p.m. Each of these scheduled courses will be offered at Parrish Medical Center, 951 N. Washington Ave., Titusville.
The programs are free but space is limited. For more information, and to pre-register, call 1-877-252-6094.
Quitting tobacco isn’t easy. Each year 70 percent of smokers want to quit and 46 percent try on their own and do not succeed.
Research shows that people can more than double their chance of quitting when they have support and coaching.
Both programs offer free nicotine replacement therapy, educational materials, goodies for their quit day, support and other free resources that all aid to help the individual quit tobacco products.
