Save yourself some money or spend it on something fun. Create a clean environment at your home and work place and protect the health of your family, friends, and pets. If you are lucky enough to be a Kaiser Permanente member you have the advantage of support options to help you overcome an addiction to nicotine. Freedom from Tobacco and Nicotine Addiction Program This program begins with a single session seminar that goes over medications and resources to help you quit. Then, when you’re ready, you can participate in the six-session program.
