Smoking cessation classes to begin at Waldo County General Hospital

Smoking cessation

To help people who believe this is the right time for them to quit smoking, the American Cancer Society’s quit-smoking program, Freshstart, is being offered at no charge on Thursdays, March 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29, from 5-6:30 p.m. at Waldo County General Hospital. The classes will be in the new green-roofed building, across the street from the hospital, in the second-floor conference room.

Three sessions will be devoted to learning self-hypnosis with Veronica Kupferman, certified consulting hypnotist. She will talk about what hypnosis is, the myths about hypnosis, and a simple, three-step method to induce self-hypnosis that can be used to immediately to assist with smoking cessation.

Participants will also learn how to create powerful affirmations that help people achieve their goals. Self-hypnosis may be used to relieve stress, overcome fears and unwanted habits, and increase self-esteem and self-confidence — and that is just the beginning.

This program is free and addresses the variety of reasons people smoke: physical addiction, habit and psychological dependency. Participants will be asked to fill out an evaluation and participate in follow-up calls after completing the program.

For more information or to register for these free classes, call 930-2650 and leave your name and telephone number. Space constraints limit the number of participants to 12.

The classes are sponsored by Healthy Waldo County and Waldo County General Hospital.
