Are we linked with any religious groups or organization?

       No. WE CARE is composed of people from many religious faiths along with agnostics and atheists. Since our center is not affiliated with any religious group and requires no particular religious belief as a condition of membership, it cannot be described as a religious society. The center’s recovery program is based on acceptance of certain spiritual values but the member is free to interpret these principles as he or she chooses.

What about smoking – is there help?

Yes, there is help for smokers. Different people do better with different methods.

      You have five choices of medications that are currently approved:

  • A non-nicotine pill (bupropion SR).
  • Nicotine gum.
  • A nicotine inhaler.
  • A nicotine nasal spray.
  • Nicotine patch.

The gum and patches are available at your local pharmacy, or you can ask your health care provider to write you a prescription for one of the other medications. The good news is that all five medications have been shown to be effective in helping smokers who are motivated to quit.

Here is a self test on smoking.  

What will it cost?

Nothing!  WE CARE does not charge its participants and fully funds its activities through generous donations.
