Tobacco Prevention & Control Programs
Weeks Medical Center works with the New Hampshire Tobacco Prevention and Control Program to achieve its goals:
- Prevent youth from starting the use of tobacco
- Promote quitting among tobacco users
- Eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke
- Prioritizing efforts to reach those populations most affected by tobacco use
Weeks offers programs and resources to the community:
Freshstart: A 7-week smoking cessation program to help smokers “kick the habit.”
This program provides:
- a support network
- information on the effects of tobacco
- an understanding of ‘why’ people smoke
- strategies for quitting
- alternatives for healthy lifestyle choices (weight management, stress reduction, exercise)
