Smoking Cessation Classes

It’s never too late to stop smoking. The sooner you quit, the more you can reduce your chances of getting cancer and other diseases. UAMS Health offers patient education classes conducted by tobacco cessation specialists to support your quitting goals.

Virtual Classes

Our Quit and Stay Quit Monday classes are currently offered virtually through Microsoft Teams due to COVID-19 restrictions.

You may choose the class or classes you feel will benefit you the most or attend all six.  The classes will rotate three times through mid-May, so if you miss one you will have two more chances to attend. The registration deadline for all virtual classes is at 12:00 PM on the Wednesday prior to the scheduled class. See full class schedule below.

One-on-One Virtual Sessions

If you cannot attend a virtual class, you can still participate by signing up for the Quit & Stay Quit Monday goal-setting consultations (one-on-one sessions). You’ll get one-on-one time with a tobacco cessation specialist who will help support your quitting journey.
