The Treasure Valley YMCA partnered with Project Filter to host a Quit Week Challenge in support of the Great American Smokeout- a nationwide movement encouraging people to take the first step toward living tobacco-free. Whether you’re ready to quit completely or just want to cut back, this challenge is your opportunity to take control of your health with the encouragement of your Y community.
Whether you can power through seven days, make it halfway, or simply use the challenge week as a launchpad to cut back, you are on the road to a healthier lifestyle! If you haven’t joined the challenge yet, start now in the YMCA360 App!
Every step toward a smoke-free life is a victory worth celebrating.
