Smoking Cessation
The student government committee of Evergreen Technical College would like to recommend that our school offer a smoking cessation program or provide direction to sources of smoking cessation programs that are currently available. The subject of smoking cessation programs arose during recent discussions at the student government planning sessions, due to the no smoking policy on the Evergreen Technical College campus. We believe it would be of great benefit to the school to have education and informational services available to all students, staff and faculty.
Posters and brochures for smoking cessation services and educational materials regarding reasons why to quit smoking could be mounted at the proposed smoking shelters, if they are made available. Additionally we could provide the same materials in student common areas and staff lounges to spread awareness for the programs.

Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is another source of aid to someone who is trying to quit smoking. There are withdrawal symptoms when a person stops smoking. NRT can aid smokers who are in a cessation program. It can provide some nicotine but not the chemicals in tobacco that are harmful. The use of NRT can be reduced over time. By utilizing this method the person on a smoking cessation program may be more successful than stopping “cold turkey” alone.
