One participant had this to say about their experience with the program, \u201cI am very pleased with my experience and success with the program. For the first time in maybe eight quit attempts, I am successful and remain smoke-free for over a year. The program\u2019s educational support component combined with the medication proved to be the best formula for my success. The professional staff [is] very supportive, caring, and committed to providing the best care and knowledge to overcome smoking addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;For the first time in maybe eight quit attempts, I am successful and remain smoke-free for over a year.&#8221;<\/p><cite>MSU Breathe Easy Program Participant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next <a href=\"https:\/\/health4u.msu.edu\/courses\/breathe-easy-program\">Breathe Easy\nsession<\/a> will begin Wed., Oct. 23 and run for six weeks.
