Don’t Quit, Just Come

Everyone is invited to our free “Don’t Quit, Just Come” Smoking/ Tobacco Cessation Classes on Tuesdays, July 8 and 22, from 4 to 5 p.m. at the HRS main office, 235 West Jackson St. Learn the skills you need to avoid smoking or how to “Quit 4 Life” now. If you are a nonsmoker but are concerned about someone you know that does smoke, please join us. These classes are open to the public, and you can participate at any time. Each meeting counts as two hours of community service.
