Burgess Health Center is offering a seven-week class for smoking cessation Mondays, Jan. 29 to March 29 at 6:30 p.m. in the hospital board room.

The class content will follow the format of the American Lung Association’s “Freedom from Smoking class.” Topics will cover understanding a learned habit, stress management, relaxation techniques, building confidence, substitute behaviors, weight control and saying “no” in social situations. Tips to avoid relapse, nicotine replacement therapy, and long term strategies also will be discussed.
