“This is a wonderful program and better late than never. I have attended other programs, but none like this that actually worked. The materials and the way the class was taught made you cheer for yourself to become a non-smoker. I am so grateful, and I wish this program had been around sooner.” - Theresa Wharton, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate

“I cannot thank Kaye enough. She didn’t just “care” on class days – she continued to check in on the group and us individually. She brought MANY things to my attention and was able to make those things “click” as to understand why quitting is SO hard. Then she showed us so many things to manage cravings, the benefits of quitting and how to support each other and fend off potential “nay – sayers” or sabotaging.” -Amy Strand, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate

“I am so proud.  I never won anything before.  I am just so happy at the thought. I am 12 days free and clear of nicotine!!  I feel amazing. I want to thank you again for giving me the tools and having the group as well as you to fall on when needed. Thanks, so much Kaye, from the bottom of my heart.” -Maria Williams, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate

“I can't tell you how happy and surprised I am that I'm a nonsmoker. I really didn't think I would be able to quit during this program. But it opened up so much and gave me so many tools, that I was able to do it. Most importantly to my success was Ms. Love, with the class as a whole a close second.” -Anonymous, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate

“I did get the TV hooked up last night. Wow!  I am not lucky with raffles, this is the first time I’ve won something in at least a decade. And every time I see it, I will be reminded Not To Smoke. So it has 2 purposes.” -Alvin Clark, September 2019 Class Graduate and Grand Prize Winner of Big Screen TV

“I am so grateful for Kaye and this program. Kaye had wonderful information, has experience in quitting smoking herself and was the right balance of being supportive and disciplined. She not only was invested in the class time, she was invested in each and every one of us individually outside of the class day/time.” Anonymous, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate

“These classes, Ms. Love, and the entire group have made the difference.  Kaye Love’s approach and curriculum have changed how I look at my smoking, myself, and the world around me.  As I write this, I have been an ex-smoker for sixty days.  It hasn’t been easy.  I have had to take a very hard look at myself and why I do things.  I have had to open myself up to new ideas and methods.  Ms. Love has presented a thoughtful, informative, and inclusive approach to ending my dependence on tobacco and smoking.  She is the leader of this group, but everyone in the group has helped me to stay smoke-free.  With their stories, comments, questions, and encouragement, they have helped me to stop smoking and stay stopped.” -Kevin Gallaher, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate

“I was very pleased that this class was started and hope that it continues. The location and time was great for this class. But most of all, GREAT JOB TO KAYE LOVE for her leadership skills, determination, and drive in supporting everyone who attended to successfully quit for good!!” – Lenea Vannison, January 2019 Quit Class Participant

“I enjoyed hearing others talk about their situations with smoking. It helped me to use and apply their stories to my smoking habits, which helped me with my quitting.” -Cynthia Harry, January 2019 Quit Class Participant

“This class was very helpful. Without it, it was not possible to quit. Ms. Kaye Love is very good teacher. The group was awesome.” – Satish Bhatia, January 2019 Quit Class Graduate and Grand Prize Winner of Big Screen TV.

Yes! Keep Kaye, the facilitator, for these classes. I am a health educator as well and she is an amazing and well-prepared trainer and supportive person. I was impressed with her gentle style. – Danny Munoz September 2019 Quit Class Participant

“Kaye Love was very beneficial to this class. She was very informative, she made sure we had the vital tools and information needed to be a successful at quitting smoking. She did a Great job.” -Anonymous, January 2019 Quit Class Participant

“The information learned in class was very eye opening. I learned a lot of things about smoking that I didn't know. Overall, I think the class did what It was supposed to do, which was encourage us! Get us to think about the dangers and health risk of smoking. Get us to think differently and focus on other things other than smoking. The support from the group was awesome, everyone had a story and every story was different. We all are winners because we tried. Some of us were successful at quitting and some of us are still trying to find our way. The thing is if you attend this class you won't look at smoking cigarettes the same way. You will stop eventually. Some people’s paths are a little longer, but our goal is the same. To Stop Smoking.” - Alisa H., January 2019 Quit Class Graduate
