The Tobacco Cessation Program at Valley View

About the program
The Tobacco Cessation Program at Valley View uses the personalized Quit Smart Program from Duke University, consisting of three small group classes. Its recommended that participants attend all three sessions for maximum benefit.

The first class occurs approximately two weeks prior to your established quit date. The second class is on your quit day, and the third class is approximately three days after your quit day.

Individual classes are available upon request.

We have also partnered with the Colorado Quitline, the Baby and Me Tobacco Free program offered by Garfield County Public Health, and medical practitioners throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.

A primary care provider is necessary if you decide to use medication to help in your tobacco cessation journey.
