Special Note: This 12 week program can be used in the following ways;
Individually (follow along at your own pace)
Buddy system (Pick one other person who wants to quit and follow the process together or find a mentor that has already been successful in quitting and see if they will follow along for extra support)
Group Setting (organize a group of people who want to quit. It's recommended that you pass out week one at least 2-3 weeks before you launch week 2 to give time for participants to choose and purchase their nicotine replacement product or medication for quitting)
