CHI Memorial offers a free seven-week Freedom From Smoking program to help people stop smoking. The program teaches participants how to beat tobacco addiction, lifestyle changes that make quitting easier, stress management, how to avoid weight gain and how to stay smoke-free for good.
 
"Freedom From Smoking is an American Lung Association program that has helped more than one million Americans overcome an addiction to nicotine during the past 30 years," officials said.  "Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of death and disease in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Within two weeks of quitting, former smokers have reduced their risk of having a heart attack, and improved their lung function." 
 
A new session will begin Thursday, Nove.
