Are you a parent who smokes? Ready to quit?
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is offering a free “Freedom From Smoking” program for parents who want to quit using tobacco.
If parents complete the program, they will receive an item worth $85. They can choose from diapers, a car seat, stroller, Pack-and-Play or gift card.
There are three ways parents can participate in the program:
• Take a class that meets from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays from Nov. 17 to Dec. 20 (except for Thanksgiving and Dec. 1) at the Health Department, 200 Maine St.
• Complete a self-guided “Freedom From Smoking” workbook that can be picked up and dropped off at the Health Department’s front desk.
• Complete an online course.
Parents can sign up by contacting Charlie Bryan at 785-843-3060 or info@ldchealth.org. The deadline to enroll is 5 p.m. Nov. 16.
