Helping Teens and young adults stop smoking one weekend at a time

 I am the founder of Non-Smoking Weekends. For 30 years of my life, smoking was a regular part of my routine. It started when I was just a teenager, smoking on weekends with friends. In high school, it became a regular habit, and as an adult, I was smoking half a pack to a full pack a day. Even as I entered my 40s, I continued to smoke. 

 

However, everything changed when I had a dream. In this dream, I was challenged to go on a non-smoking weekend. I was taken on all kinds of adventures, including mountain biking, snowboarding, and paintball. At the end of the dream, I woke up feeling great. 

 

This dream served as a turning point for me. It made me realize that I could live a fulfilling and active life without the need for cigarettes. The sense of freedom and vitality I experienced in the dream was something I longed to experience in reality. 

 

So, I decided to create Non-Smoking Weekends, an initiative aimed at challenging individuals to take a break from smoking and engage in fun and healthy activities. Through this initiative, I hope to inspire others to break free from the grip of smoking and embrace a healthier, smoke-free lifestyle.

 

Non-Smoking Weekends is dedicated to helping teens and young adults break the habit of smoking. Our mission is to support as many individuals as possible in their journey towards a smoke-free life. To achieve this, we have developed the three-day challenge, which involves taking participants on outdoor adventures to help them experience the beauty of nature and understand the importance of living a healthy, smoke-free lifestyle. Whether it's camping in the summer or skiing and snowboarding in the winter, we provide opportunities for young individuals to engage in physical activity and have fun in a smoke-free environment.

 

Our program is designed to show teens and young adults that with determination and by the grace of a higher power, they can overcome their addiction to smoking. By participating in our weekend adventures, they can learn new coping mechanisms, build a support network, and gain the confidence to live a smoke-free life. Through these experiences, participants can discover the joy and freedom that come with being active and healthy, and we hope that this will motivate them to make positive changes in their lives.

 

At Non-Smoking Weekends, we are committed to making a difference in the lives of young individuals by offering them the tools and support they need to quit smoking. We believe that by providing them with opportunities to connect with nature and embrace a smoke-free lifestyle, we can help them take the first step towards a healthier, happier future.

 

As an organization dedicated to promoting a smoke-free lifestyle, our mission at non-smoking weekends is to empower and support teens and young adults in their journey to quit smoking. We believe that by providing them with meaningful experiences and outdoor adventures, we can inspire them to break free from the grips of tobacco addiction.
