Smoking Cessation


Quitting smoking is a challenge for everyone and is, of course, very beneficial to your overall health.   Research has shown that every time you quit smoking, it increases your chance of quitting completely.

  • Kishwaukee Hospital offers the Cancer Society’s Fresh Start smoking cessation program.  You pay $25 up front and when you complete the classes, your $25 is returned to you.  For information contact Beth Busching at 815-756-1521 ext. 152418.
  • The Employee Assistance Program offers four to six individual sessions to assist you to quit smoking.  For more information contact the Employee Assistance Program at 815-753-9191.
