VSU Offers Smoking Cessation Program
VALDOSTA - The American Cancer Society will host a free
tobacco-cessation program, Freshstart, for Valdosta State
University students, faculty and staff.
Students can attend on Monday, Sept. 22, from 6-7 p.m. in the
Patterson Hall classroom and faculty and staff have their turn from
noon until 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, in the UC Live Oak Conference
Room.
Freshstart participants meet for one-hour in group session four
consecutive weeks. The program will teach them to understand why
they use tobacco, what to do during the first few days after
quitting, and how to master the obstacles in order to stay off
tobacco. Anyone can participate, even casual or non-smokers
interested in learning tips and tactics for combating the
problem.
