The university will offer two tobacco-cessation program series this winter for members of the campus community.
Eight weekly sessions are available, led by a representative from ease@work, the university’s Employee Assistance Program vendor.
Goals of the program include:
- Assess readiness to end tobacco use.
- Identify reasons for wanting to quit and the barriers to quitting. What are your motivations? How do you stay focused?
- Develop awareness around when you smoke in order to identify triggers and make a plan for behavior change.
- A step-by-step program for ending nicotine use through self-discovery and group support, including aspects of behavior change, importance of good nutrition, exercise and stress management.
