NIP IT IN THE BUD: AN EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT PROGRAM TO HELP ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS QUIT VAPING AND TOBACCO USE

THE NEW YORK CENTER FOR LIVING LAUNCHES NIP IT IN THE BUD:

AN EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT PROGRAM TO HELP ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS QUIT VAPING AND TOBACCO USE

 

In a partnership with The American Lung Association’s N-O-T Not On Tobacco® program, New York Center for Living is launching its virtual Nip it in the Bud program this Tuesday, April 13. The program will provide options, resources and support to quit for good!

 

Nip it in the Bud is an education and support program to help adolescents and young adults quit vaping and tobacco use. It helps clients develop a plan that guides them on their quit journey. They will also receive the support they need to remain vape-free and tobacco-free for life! This cycle in particular is available to adolescents ages 13-18.

 

In this virtual 5-week (10 session) program, they cover the following topics: reasons to quit, why you smoke or vape, myths from “big tobacco,” nicotine addiction and triggers, effects of smoking and vaping, how to quit, overcoming obstacles to quitting, how to deal with stress, and staying committed to quitting.

 

This cycle will kick-off on Tuesday, April 13 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. with a presentation from Dr. Steven Dewey and an orientation with the NYCFL team. The cycle will then begin on Thursday, April 15 and meet virtually every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 - 7 p.m. through May 18. This program has been generously underwritten through donations to keep cost to a minimum at $500 for the full 10-session cycle.

 

Interested families can contact NYCFL by calling (212) 712-8800, emailing info@centerforliving.org, or by filling out this interest form. They will have additional cycles in the future, so we encourage you to fill out the interest form even if these cycle dates don’t work for you.

 

It’s time to Nip it in the Bud.
