OF BREATHE FREE

THE PLAN TO STOP SMOKING
 

In 1959, five years before the first U.S. Surgeon General's report on smoking and health, J. Wayne McFarland, MD, a physical medicine specialist, and Elman J. Folkenburg, a clergyman wih experience in counselling, developed the Five-Day Plan.

In 1984, Stoy Proctor and a team of experts revised the Five-Day Plan material and renamed it "The Breathe Free Plan To Stop Smoking."

Then between the years 1987-1991 Loma Linda University Center for Health Promotion tested and evaluated Breathe Free.    The revision coming out of this research is now called "Breathe Free: The Plan to Stop Smoking.

Since 1959 more than 20 million smokers have stopped smoking through these programs.

Breathe Free is a state-of-the-art lifestyle-modification program.
It is a user-friendly, research-based program designed to help smokers develop confidence in themselves in order to break free from tobacco.   Breathe-Free assists participants in becoming knowledgeable and active in the process of change, opening up a vision of personal choice, individual responsibility, freedom to act, and power to choose their own future.    Participants are helped to regain control of their lives.   After completing Breathe Free, they can say along with thousands of other successful Breathe Free graduates -- I feel good about myself.  I am in control -- not under the control of a little cigarette.  I am free of nicotine!

Breathe Free can help each of you discover the power to reach three major objectives: physical preparation, mental control, and social support.

Attendance at each and every session is important to your success.    Each session builds on the one before and prepares you for the next step in the process of becoming a non-smoker.

It is important that you follow the program.    The more closely you follow it, the more likely you are to succeed.   Participants who followed the program with the greatest regularity were more likely to quit smoking and maintain abstinence over 24 months than those who participated less actively.

A Personal Plan Booklet is provided.    It is your Bible to success.    You will need to use it daily.    It contains a wealth of information.
