How do i go about finding a support group to quit smoking?
Posted on Aug 28, 2008 under quit smoking programs |I am a smoker for many years,I have tried everything known to mankind and nothing has worked.A friend of mine told me about a program called Smoke Enders.But am unable to locate them.
I do not know what state you live in …. or even if U R in the USA.
But this is what I found on a NYS site … the number for Smoke enders is included & it's an 800 number.
I too have been struggling with this issue for years … the closest I came was with accupuncture. It made the taste of cigarettes just awful and I didn't WANT to smoke. If Smoke Enders doesn't work for you, you might give that a try.

You can call your local hospital and see if they have any referrals (your primary care physician will help you too). Lots of luck to you!!! You're heading in the right direction.
