Have you considered breaking your smoking habit? Is it that the cost of cigarettes is becoming prohibitive? Are you having trouble breathing--or have begun coughing for no reason?

Whatever the reason, you can learn successful methods of smoking cessation. The stop-smoking experts at Thomas Jefferson University are sponsoring a free ‘how to stop smoking event’ on Thursday, November 16.

Representatives of Jefferson's Tobacco Intervention Program and producers of stop-smoking aids will be available. They will provide counseling on the various ways to stop or begin to stop smoking and talk about clinical studies that look at why people are addicted to cigarettes and other issues.

Participants will also be able to watch themselves ‘age’ using a video machine that shows the effects of smoking cigarettes on one's skin and appearance. Participants can also participate in a lung-function evaluation.
