SOUTH BEND — Smoke Free St. Joe applauds CVS Caremark Corp. for their leadership in helping to make the next generation tobacco-free.
CVS Caremark's announcement that CVS/pharmacy stores will no longer sell cigarettes and other tobacco products is an unprecedented step in the retail industry. We also commend CVS Caremark on their new national smoking cessation program. CVS Caremark's decision, a private sector health leader, will have considerable impact on our community. Seventy percent of Hoosier smokers would like to quit and this decision will certainly aid their efforts.
Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center sponsors five, free 6-week tobacco cessation classes annually. The next series is scheduled to begin March 5, 2014. Classes are held at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center on the Garden Level, in the Education Center from 6:00 – 7:15pm. For more information, please call (574) 335-3896.
