Freedom From Smoking Course Starting June 21st

Sonora, CA...Sonora Regional Medical Center is offering the American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking® course which begins June 21. Classes will meet at the Live Well Be Well Center on Greenley Road from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. each Tuesday and one Wednesday for seven weeks, ending with a celebration on August 2. Freedom From Smoking provides a supportive group environment where adults work through the quitting process together with guidance from a respiratory therapist. According to the American Lung Association, “Research has proven that the more time a smoker spends in a supportive situation, the more likely he or she is to succeed. People who use [Freedom From Smoking] are six times more likely to be smokefree one year later than those who quit on their own.”
