Quitting a tobacco or nicotine addiction isn’t easy. In fact, it takes the average person 7-9 times to actually quit smoking for good. The Coalition is here to help with free resources!
QUIT BY PHONE

QUIT WITH A GROUP
The Coalition, Inc. is planning small-group cessation classes in Angelina County, Polk County and San Augustine County. Using a research-based small-group curriculum and group motivation, the program features a step-by-step plan and is designed to help smokers gain control over their behavior.
Because no single quit smoking plan is right for all smokers, the program presents a variety of evidence-based techniques for individuals to combine into their own plan to quit smoking.
Watch The Coalition’s Facebook page for details on the next small-group class or call 936-634-9308.
