• Tobacco Treatment



    At Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, we are committed to addressing the serious consequences of tobacco use. Our goal is to empower each individual to quit tobacco use and smoking by providing a tobacco-free campus as well as easy access to tobacco treatment.

    Quitting tobacco is one of the best things you can do for your health. It is hard work, but you can do it. The following links can help.

    Freedom from Smoking® Groups: Lahey Hospital & Medical Center offers FREE sessions of the American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking in both Burlington and Peabody locations. The Freedom From Smoking group includes eight sessions and features a step-by-step plan for quitting smoking/tobacco use. Each session is designed to help tobacco users gain control over their behavior. The clinic format encourages participants to work on the process and problems of quitting both individually and as part of a group.

        * Participants must pre-register.
