Smoking Cessation Programs, with special emphasis on low-income, underserved clinic patients
Using the American Lung Association's curriculum, Freedom From Smoking, smoking cessation classes meet on a regular schedule at
each hospital throughout the county. This seven-session program utilizes tobacco education, behavior modification, peer group support and fun to assist participants to quit smoking.
BCHIP provides
