SMOKELESS program to be held at GGH

Goshen General Hospital, an organization dedicated to health promotion and disease prevention, will be conducting SMOKELESS, a highly acclaimed stop-smoking program. The 1983 Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health called it “a particularly successful” stop smoking program because quit rates are two to three times the national average. The SMOKELESS program has been presented at the national meetings of various organizations including the American Medical Association, American Public Health Association, and the American Heart Association. In addition, the program has been featured on numerous television and radio talk shows including “Good Morning America,” and has been written about in a variety of publications. After a free introductory meeting, participants in the SMOKELESS system enter into four consecutive hour and a half sessions where they are taught how to prevent cigarette urges from occurring and how to immediately eliminate an urge, if one should present itself.
