Quit-smoking classes are coming to Bellows Falls

BELLOWS FALLS — Just in time for those New Year's resolutions, Greater Falls Connections (GFC) and Springfield Medical Care Systems are partnering to provide tobacco cessation classes in Bellows Falls.

The program consists of four weekly one-hour sessions, which will cover a variety of topics related to quitting smoking.

Participants will learn about how to beat the addiction to nicotine, skills for coping with cravings, and medication and effective approaches to quitting.

Participants will also receive counseling to build problem-solving skills, moral support from a Vermont Quit Partner - a network of people available to help you through a program from the Vermont Department of Health - and access to nicotine replacement therapy.

The classes will run in January at Parks Place in Bellows Falls. The date and time will be determined based on sign-ups.
