What is "Breath Free"?
Breathe Free is a user–friendly, research–based program designed to aid the smoker in
developing self-assurance and confidence in the cessation process.
Breathe Free assists participants in becoming knowledgeable and active in the process of
change, opening up to them a vision of personal choice, individual responsibility, freedom to
act, and power to direct their own destiny. It helps them find confidence in their ability to
regain control of their lives. After completing Breathe Free, they can say
along with thousands of other successful Breathe Free graduates ?" I feel good
about myself. I am in control" ?not a little cigarette.
Breathe Free seeks to empower the individual to reach three major objectives: physical
preparation, mental conditioning, and social support.
To accomplish these objectives we have developed 9 successful strategies over the last 30 years
that make this process as easy as possible.
