Resolve to quit smoking in the new year with a little help from St. Luke’s Hospital.

The hospital is holding free smoking cessation classes, a free weekly support group to help you prepare mentally and physically to stop smoking/quit tobacco for life.

The group meets every Thursday, 7-8 p.m. in Room 208 (follow the directional signs). The program is led by registered respiratory therapists. For more information, call Lisa West, RRT, at 828-894-0847.
