Kickin' It Comes to Greentree

Kickin' It is a team of women who volunteer to share their experience with using vaping to stop smoking cigarettes in order to help others do the same.  On January 8th, Kickin' It presented a class at Greentree to introduce the basics of vaping and e-cigarettes.  The group also got a chance to see and try out a variety of devices used for vaping.

Here, Christi and Cindy from Kickin' It set up before class begins.

E-cigs were available to try while Cindy explained the differences between some of the available gear.  Can you tell this went well?

Well, it did!  After learning what they needed to know, those who attended were able to choose the gear they wanted to take with them to try out.  Cindy from Kickin' It worked with vendors to get donations to make this vaping equipment available for free to Greentree tenants.


We were able to provide kits to five people who want to use vaping to become non-smokers!  And, we were able to give them everything they'll need so they can vape for about a month before they have to spend any money to continue.  How great is this?!

And, there's more to come.  A second class will be held on January 15th to assess how everybody's doing, make any changes in gear that need to be made, etc.  We will also welcome other Greentree tenants to attend if they are interested but unable to attend the first class.
