SMOKING
CESSATION CLASSES
Employee Assistance Program
of Northern Illinois University
Offers the American Cancer Society's freshstart
program
The Employee Assistance Program will offer
a freshstart program as soon as 6 people sign up
for the program. You can even find your own group, pick
the time and day of the four classes, and sign up together.
The freshstart program consists of four one-hour,
small group sessions and is designed to give you the tools
and information you need to make your stop-smoking experience
positive and successful. Many smokers are more likely to
quit smoking and continue with not smoking if they participate
in a group.

Remember...
Every
time you quit smoking, you are successful
even if you start smoking again. All ex-smokers
have quit more than once. So every time you quit
smoking, you help your heart and get closer to never
smoking again.
|
When you quit smoking you are being good to yourself and
your pocketbook! Your insurance company will reimburse you
up to a $50 rebate towards the cost of an approved Smoking
Cessation Program upon receiving a completion certificate.
(See handbook or call Employee Insurance & Benefits for
receiving reimbursement and limitations.)
Besides program offered by us, there are also programs offered
in the community. If you live outside of DeKalb, talk with
your doctor or call your local hospital to see what they
offer.
