A 4 week program to kick the Nic.
Fremont, Mich., March 12th, 2024 – Corewell Health Gerber Hospital is offering an upcoming 4-week class series designed to help people kick nicotine once and for all. “Quit for good” starts Wednesday, April 3rd, from 4 p.m.-5 p.m. at Tamarac, 1401 West Main Street, Fremont, and meets every Wednesday for four weeks through April 24th. Corewell Health offers many options for community members looking to quit, and also offers classes virtually, as well as one on one appointments. All services are free. People who sign up and attend all 4 classes will also receive a free month pass to Tamarac. “Tobacco and nicotine use, whether as cigarettes, chew or vaping, is highly addictive – which is why it is so difficult to quit in any form,” said Caitlin Schucker, Tobacco Treatment Specialist. “All of these ways of using tobacco or nicotine are also extremely toxic, causing over 12 different kinds of cancers, deadly lung diseases, heart attacks and strokes – even in young people. There are many reasons why people want to quit, including the high cost of tobacco and nicotine products. It is an expensive way to have poor health.” Schucker said “Quit for Good” is designed to break the chain of tobacco and nicotine addiction for lasting positive results. “The class uses the latest tools to help a person have the greatest success rate for quitting. We determine which is the best nicotine replacement (such as the patch or gum), or if one of the prescription medications used for tobacco cessation will the be best. Or maybe it will be a combination of both.” “We also help each person plan what to do instead of smoking or vaping. Studies show that people can double or triple their success rates by coming to a class, using one of the medications or nicotine replacement products, and following a plan that is just right for them.” For more information or to register, call Caitlin at 231.924.7589.
