CDHD Offers Four Tobacco Cessation Classes in February

If you’ve been looking for help in kicking your tobacco habit, the Central District Health Department (CDHD) has four new free classes starting in February.

Tobacco Cessation classes are scheduled for the Ada County Courthouse, the Ada County-City Housing Authority, the main Boise Public Library downtown and the Library at Collister. The complete schedule is listed below. All classes are free, but registration is required. Call CDHD at 375-5211 to enroll or for more information.

Research shows that enrolling in cessation classes improves the success rate of people trying to kick tobacco. Each CDHD Tobacco Cessation class involves five intense sessions. In that time you’ll gain the tools and support you need to beat tobacco once and for all.

CDHD also offers referrals to other free tobacco cessation providers in the area. The complete list of classes and providers is available online.

Tobacco users can also get Free Nicotine Replacement Therapy by enrolling with the Idaho Quitnet program. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669) or logon to Idaho.quitnet.com. Tobacco users can request a 4 week supply of their choice of nicotine patches, gum or lozenges.
