Methodist Hospitals is offering Smoking Cessation Classes at the Merrillville Campuses.  Since not all smoking cessation techniques are effective for every smoker this program lets you develop the approach that works for you.  Develop skills in assertive communication, coping, self-monitoring, stress management, and weight management. Classes are based on the highly successful American Lung Association’s Freedom from Smoking Program which has helped people across the U.S. take control of their health by quitting smoking

Mondays, May 16 to June 27 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Methodist Hospitals Southlake Campus, Hospitality Room, Lower Level
