The American Lung Association of Connecticut offers the following programs for adults:
Freedom From Smoking® Clinics: Adult smoking cessation programs are offered for individuals interested in group support or a self-guide. For more information, click here.
Freedom From Smoking® Self-Help Guide: Based on our Freedom From Smoking® clinic program, this smoking cessation guide is available for those who do not have access to a clinic due to location or scheduling conflicts. An added benefit is that the guide can be used multiple times. Data indicates that the average smoker must make five serious quit attempts before finally kicking the habit for good. The important thing is to keep trying! The 46-page, full color guide is available from our office at a cost of $10, including tax and shipping. The guide references the most recent advances in quitting techniques, including the nicotine patch and gum. Click here for an order form.

Click here for club listings. A quarterly newsletter, the Better Breathing Bulletin, is published for patients with lung disease. Please call our office at 1-800-LUNG USA (within Connecticut) to receive this free information.
