FreshStart, the American Cancer Society’s smoking cessation program, is offered free to those in the community who want to quit.

The class is offered on a regular basis and based on the need of the community. Each class consists of four one-hour sessions, which meet within a two-week period.  

FreshStart helps smokers quit and develop coping skills to stay stopped. Led by a trained facilitator, the group sessions address the physical and psychological reasons why people smoke, and give participants tools to overcome obstacles and stay quit forever.  

Why Quit?
Regardless of how long someone has smoked, quitting smoking can decrease their risk of smoking-related diseases and improve their health. Smoking and tobacco use are linked to cancer, lung disease, heart disease, stroke, emphysema and more.
