As the American Lung Association’s premiere smoking cessation program, Freedom From Smoking is a highly structured and comprehensive behavior modification approach to smoking cessation in a group support setting.

Freedom From Smoking is based on the premise that smoking is a learned behavior.

The 8 session format provides for tracking personal habits, developing coping strategies and practice in a supportive environment with others who are experiencing the same feelings and challenges.
