Quit Smart

Do you feel like a slave to cigarettes? Would you like to feel better, have more energy, and save about $1500 a year? YOU CAN QUIT SMOKING with Quit Smart, Bridgeport Hospital's unique smoking cessation program.

Quit Smart combines powerful treatments to help you break free from cigarettes. In four sessions over a one-month period, you'll learn to:

  • Ease off nicotine gradually by switching to cigarette brands that offer less and less nicotine. (We call this quitting "warm chicken.")
  • Use your mind to help you quit, by learning to imagine yourself as a calm, comfortable, happy nonsmoker. Use a hypnosis audiotape to help you relax.
  • Use a hypnosis audiotape to help you relax.
  • Decide whether to use medication. For some smokers, medication can double the chance of success. We'll help you decide if medication is right for you.
  • Break the smoking habit with seven simple techniques.

The success rate for Quit Smart is twice that of other methods. No stop-smoking program is totally painless, but Quit Smart comes close! For information on dates, times, and tuition, call us toll free, 24/7, at 1-888-357-2396.
