Testimonials “My SIP counselor calls and emails me all the time. And I can call or email her anytime.” “After 32 years of smoking, I was up to more than a pack a day. I made hundreds of attempts to quit, but never quit longer than 72 hours. This time I’ve been smoke-free since Sept. 27, and the difference was the Henry Ford Freedom From Smoking program.” "The SIP program was tailored to my needs and very convenient. All the materials I needed were mailed to my home. My counselor was an excellent support. She called and checked in with me, we had frequent phone conversations, and I could call her any time I felt myself slipping." "When I smoked, my co-workers could hear me coming because I was constantly coughing. I could hardly breathe bringing groceries in from the car. Now I don't cough and I can even exercise. I smoked for 44 years, and tried to quit many times. I'm so glad I never quit trying!"
