“Freedom from Smoking,” the leading smoking cessation program in the United States for more than 25 years, shows participants how to quit smoking for good in a supportive setting.

Participants meet weekly with a small group of people so everyone attending gets personal attention.

No two smokers are alike, so the program helps everyone create their own quit plan. Because support of others is important while quitting, being with a group who understands the challenges of quitting helps at a time when support is most needed.

“Freedom from Smoking” will be taught by Joy Swetnam, a nationally certified cessation trainer.

The eight weekly classes will begin on Monday, May 5, and will run from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Lake Family Resource Center, 896 Lakeport Blvd., Lakeport. The cost is only $50 for the course and includes all program materials and refreshments.

For more information, and to register for the classes call Joy Swetnam or Michael Rupe, Lake Family Resource Center, at 262-1611 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
