CDHD Offers Free Tobacco Cessation Classes

If you have resolved to quit smoking for the New Year the Central District Health Department (CDHD) is here to help. Starting January 5th CDHD will host a series of FREE Tobacco Cessation classes. Each class involves 5 sessions over 4 weeks, and the classes are scheduled for afternoon and evening time periods to fit your schedule. The complete schedule of classes is available on the CDHD website.

Quitting tobacco is tough, but over the course of ten hours these classes provide participants with education and support to keep them tobacco-free permanently.

The classes are free but registration is required. Call 208-375-5211 to register for one of these classes.

All tobacco cessation classes are funded by the Idaho Tobacco Millennium Fund.

Also, tobacco users can get free Nicotine Replacement Therapy by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) or by logging on to Idaho.quitnet.com. Tobacco users can request a 4 week supply of their choice of nicotine patches, gum or lozenges.

To enroll in any of the upcoming class sessions, call 375-5211.

Below is a complete list of classes for the next six months.
