TUPELO, Miss.âNorth Mississippi Medical Center will host a free smoking cessation class for individuals who are trying to stop smoking or using other tobacco products.
The class will meet at 5:30 p.m. Mondays, June 7-July 12, in the NMMC Wellness Center Classroom, 1030 S. Madison St.
The first session involves discussion of health history, habits and smoking patterns. A baseline measurement of each participantâs carbon monoxide level will be done at the first session and monitored weekly for progress.
âWe talk a lot about planning ahead, and we try to help wean people off tobacco. We set short-term goals and work toward them,â said nurse practitioner Rebecca Cagle, director of NMMCâs Advanced Practice Clinician Fellowship, who leads the program. âWe cannot provide nicotine replacement products or prescriptions for class participants, but we encourage everyone to talk with their health care provider about what would work best for them.â
