The Nicotine Dependence Center at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is offering an intensive series of stop-smoking courses for anyone who has quit smoking or is interested in quitting. Classes will be held in Room 142-N of the Staff Cafeteria in the Davis Building at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.
Sessions are individualized and targeted.
Each begins with a screening test to measure the level of carbon monoxide in the smoker's or ex-smoker's body. That is followed by classroom instruction and group therapy. Classroom topics include medical risks and consequences of tobacco use, stress management, coping strategies and relapse prevention, wellness promotion and a panel discussion. Pre-registration is required. For more information and reservations, call Lynne Manning at 953-2354.
