Includes 12 weeks of classes/group support, 6 visits with a registered dietitian, and healthy food and recipes to try.

Cost: $19 - $190, depending on income. Sign up with a friend and both of you get half your fee back. Both participants must be Health District residents and complete the program.


Quit Smoking Class
Thursdays,  Sept. 4 July 10, 6:30 - 8:00p.m.

Programs for individuals or groups are available. Both feature counseling and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in the form of gum, patches or lozenges where appropriate. Participants get free NRT while enrolled. 

Those interested are asked to meet with a counselor in advance of the first class to determine if this approach is best suited to meet their needs and, if so, to register. Call 224-5209. A smoking cessation counselor will facilitate the course with support from a dietitian.

Cost: $10 - $100, depending on income for residents of northern Larimer County. Those who complete the program get a 50 percent rebate of their initial fee.
