Tobacco Education Programs
Illinois Smoke-Free Restaurant Recognition Program was designed to identify and recognize those restaurants in the county that have made the decision to be smoke-free. This program, over time, may serve to educate the public about the dangers of second-hand smoke, and correct the perception that restaurant owners would lose money. At the present time there are ten restaurants in the county recognized for being smoke-free. They are Jemini Coffee House & Bookstore, Classic Pizza & Pasta, Taco Tierra, McDonalds, Buehler's Buy Low, DiMaggio's Pizza, Steaks & Pasta, Cisne Citgo Knapp Mart, Subway, Smith Brother's Surplus, and Dairy Queen Brazier. This program is ongoing as more and more restaurants make the choice to become smoke-free. More...

Freedom From Smoking® Group Clinic Program is an 8-session group program led by experts who understand why you smoke. The program uses a positive behavior-change approach that teaches you how to become a nonsmoker for good. You'll get special attention in developing your own quitting plan, dealing with recovery symptoms, controlling weight, managing stress through relaxation techniques that work, and being ready to fight those urges to go back to smoking. For many smokers, especially those who have tried to quit before, group support can make the difference in helping to stay smoke-free.
