Coalition for a Smoke-Free Tomorrow

Plan to be Tobacco Free is a program to help Kentuckians learn which smoking cessation programs are available and assist them with deciding which option is best for them. The FREE one-time class is conducted by KCP Tobacco Treatment Navigators at worksites and in community locations for individuals who use tobacco, their friends and family. Participants will learn about tobacco cessation products, assess personal habits, and develop a customized quit plan. "Contact your KCP representative" to schedule a program or to enroll in an upcoming session.
