Class Helps You Stop Smoking

Smoking attributes to 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of lung cancer deaths. Smoking also is the main culprit in heart disease, strokes, bronchitis and emphysema, and gastric ulcers. Need more reasons to stop? The Cancer Institute’s Chest Service and The American Lung Association of Tennessee have teamed up to stomp out smoking.

“Freedom From Smoking” is an eight-week clinic that has become the "Gold Standard" of smoking cessation programs. 

The class takes place March 27 at 6 p.m. in the 4th Floor Conference Room in the Cancer Institute at UT Medical Center.

You will be asked to pay a $50 deposit, which will be returned to you after successfully attending all of the sessions, whether you quit smoking or not. The classes begin on March 27.
