Kick the habit

If you've tried to kick the habit before and couldn't do it, a new stop smoking program offered at Kootenai Health may be just for you.

"Be Smoke Free in 7 Weeks" will meet on seven successive Tuesdays from 5:30-7:30 p.m. beginning April 6 at Kootenai Medical Center. But you won't be expected to quit right away. The initial session, which is free to all, will give you an overview of what the program is all about.

Cost is $50, half of which will be refunded upon successful completion of the program. To register, call (208) 666-2893. One-on-one counseling sessions are also available upon request.
