Help a smoker stop: Volunteer to be a BreatheEasy Buddy

Maricopa Community Colleges introduces BreatheEasy Buddies, a free, volunteer program for tobacco users who would like a sponsor to keep them on track. If you are a current smoker, or if you want to help your co-worker or friends quit, please go to wellness.maricopa.edu/breathe-easy/ to volunteer.

You don’t need to be a former smoker, or have any prior experience. Those who sign up for the program will receive a free gift, and more information about quitting. Just fill out the online form now to be paired with a buddy by the end of the month.

Maricopa BreatheEasy is a healthy-living initiative sponsored by the Maricopa Community Colleges. Its goal is to provide information and support to Maricopa students, faculty members and staff in support of the elimination of tobacco products from all District property. Effective July 1, 2012, all District property will be smoke- and tobacco-free, extending the smoke-free environment of our buildings to the boundaries of District property.

Maricopa Community Colleges recognize that this change will require behavior change on the part of some students, faculty members and staff. The District is prepared to help those who are affected through a variety of means, including classes and smoking cessation programs.
