Press Coverage: County Connection

Over 45 million American make resolutions to improve themselves each New Year. One of the most common resolutions is to quit smoking successfully. However, with these good intentions, most people only make it through the first week before relapsing.

But that’s okay! Any effort to quit is worthy of praise - especially if someone is committed to keep trying. A person can make between 6 to 11 attempts before quitting for good. Quitting smoking can be challenging, but if a person has a strong motivation to quit and the support to do so, the chances of success go up!

If you or someone you know needs it,1-866-NEW-LUNG is here to provide support by offering a 2020 New Year’s quit smoking campaign! Whether someone wants a group setting, individual support, or telephone counseling, participants will receive the tools they need to quit smoking, along with their own personalized quit plan. They will be able to understand their triggers and create coping strategies to implement during their quit journey. In addition, participants who complete services will receive a FREE supply of nicotine patches (while supplies last). With a new plan in mind, people who sign up for the 2020 campaign will see their life from a new non-smoking perspective.

If you know someone who would like to quit and start 2020 smoke-free, visit www.1866NEWLUNG. com/signup to sign up, and a Tobacco Cessation Specialist will contact you. You can also reach them at: 1-866-NEW-LUNG (1-866-639-5864).
