UCLA Launches “Freedom From Smoking” Smoking Cessation Program

Being and staying healthy is fundamental to enjoying an energetic and productive life. Smoking not only interferes with good health, it can destroy it. In fact, almost half a million people die due to smoking-related diseases each year.

If you are one of 45 million Americans that still smokes but long to quit and want to feel better, have more energy and reduce your risk of life-threatening lung and heart disease, UCLA is the right place to be!

UCLA Healthcare now offers an eight-session smoking cessation program to help its employees and community members to finally kick the habit! Each session is designed to motivate and arm the smoker with the necessary tools to give up smoking for life. A step-by-step process covers many areas of concern, such as weight control, stress, and social situations. “Freedom From Smoking” is a well-proven and established program designed by the American Lung Association.

Smoking cessation sessions will begin on Tuesday evening, July 25. Each session lasts from 90 minutes to 2 hours and are conveniently held in 200 UCLA Medical Plaza, Suite 206.

As part of the UCLA Wellness Initiative, the discounted cost for UCLA employees is $75 (for non-UCLA employees, the cost is $120). If you are trying to kick the habit or have a loved one who is, please contact (310) 825-0014 for more information. Sign up today!
