QUITTING TOBACCO FOR GOOD
Island County Health Department and the Whidbey General Hospital will be offering free information/support sessions for quitting tobacco for good. These one-hour sessions will help you learn about health issues related to tobacco, the many tools that are now available for helping you quit, and how to find the resources that would best serve you. Refreshments will be provided. Whether you use cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, whether you’ve tried to quit before or not, there are now many resources that can help you. Come by and get inspired to “Quit for Good”. Those who have recently quit and are looking for support are also invited. These will be presented in both Coupeville and Langley on months we will not be offering classes. You may call for questions at (360) 678-7656 ext. 2130 or (360) 321-7656, ext. 2130.
