STOP SMOKING FOR A HEALTHIER LIFE

A tradition of good health.
The QUIT Now! program can help. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has been running the QUIT Now! program for more than 30 years. The program has a 30-90 per cent success rate, and most of those who complete the program stop smoking within two weeks.

Research shows smokers move through a series of stages when quitting. QUIT Now! acts as a guide through each stage. The program uses group activities and simple strategies to help smokers beat their addiction. The program consists of eight sessions over two weeks.

It involves seven steps:
1. Preparing to quit.
2. It's time to quit.
3. Conquering nicotine addiction.
4. Choosing new habits.
5. Living smoke free.
6. Staying stopped.
7. Winning at life.

This final step in quitting is about becoming a life-long non-smoker.
