Finding your path to a tobacco-free life is easier with the right tools. Connecting Point and the Nevada County Public Health Department are teaming up to help folks quit for good.

Tools, Strategies, & Support

Connecting Point is now offering the American Lung Association's innovative Freedom from Smoking program free to Nevada County residents.

Freedom from Smoking is an 8-class series for folks who are ready to quit smoking. Participants will work together to set a quit date, build a quit plan, and support each other through their first tobacco-free weeks.

The class includes strategies for identifying triggers, managing stress, and avoiding weight gain. You'll also learn how tools like quit-smoking medications can increase your chances of quitting.

It's all about putting a plan in place that will work best for you.
