So, make a resolution for a healthier life for you and your family. If you’re a smoker, quitting is the most important step you can take to protect your health, decreasing the risk of lung disease, cancer, and even early death. If you want to quit and tried in the past, don’t give up. It often takes several tries before you can quit for good. However, with planning and support, you can become tobacco-free.

So, theatre is just so connected, and it’s such a small world. There are so many companies in the area. So, it’s really nice when you make those connections and people start to work together, and they can bring back those memories. I really feel like we try to strive to have a community and family aspect to us – family-friendly. While we do some things that might be edgy and not necessarily child-friendly to come see the show, we always do things … to balance it out. I think we have a really nice family aspect. I always say when anybody comes to join TCS for the first time or is in the show for the first time, I always say, “Welcome to our family.” I think that’s kind of the legacy, I guess, that I would like TryingMA.org. Online support includes quit planning tools and chatting with others who are trying to quit. Free nicotine patches, gum and lozenges are available to eligible users. The combination of coaching and quit-smoking medication can make you nearly three times as likely to quit for good! Quitting smoking can be hard – here are five ways to make it easier: 1. Set a quit date. Choose a quit day this month. Give yourself about two weeks to prepare. 2. Tell your family and friends you plan to quit. Share your quit date with important people and ask for their support. Daily encouragement and planned activities can help you stay on track. 3. Anticipate and plan for challenges. The urge to smoke is short – usually only three to five minutes. Those moments can feel intense. Before your quit date, write down healthy ways to cope with cravings so to think that we have left over the years. Q: Do you think this place will be around for another 50 years? A: I hope so, if I’m around for 50 years. Q: Anything else that you would like to share? Any famous people or famous actors who started out at TCS? A: I’m not sure if she performed with us, but I know she’s from Saugus – Tracee Chimo, who has actually performed on Broadway and is in TV shows and everything. I’m not positive that she performed with us, but she is definitely a Saugus High girl [1997 graduate] who was taught by TCS members … ipso facto … seven degrees, Theatre Company of Saugus! Q: Do you have anybody still around who taught her? A: She actually passed away a few years ago [2013]: Nancy Lemoine. I’m sure you’ve heard that name. She was a very big part of TCS over the years, and I think she grew up you can get past them. Healthy choices include: Drinking water Taking a walk Calling or texting a friend 4. Remove cigarettes and other tobacco from your daily routine. Throw away your cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays. Clean your car and home. Old cigarette odors can cause cravings. 5. Talk to your doctor about quit-smoking medications. Over-the-counter or prescription medicines can help you quit for good; your quit coach and pharmacist can provide guidance. For more information, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit KeepTryingMA.org. Make the choice to quit today, making February, American Hearth Month, the beginning to a smoke-free and healthier you! Sincerely, Edgar Duran Elmudesi, MSW Metro Boston Tobacco-Free Community Partnership doing Theatre Company of Saugus shows and then went to college and became a Saugus High School drama teacher or chorus teacher who kept working with TCS. She was really a great bridge between the high school and TCS and kind of brought that together. I’d like to say that her work here helped her become the pretty amazing person she was, for a lot of people. She had her hand in a lot of people’s lives. She gave them a lot of inspiration and had great influence on them. Editor’s Note: Anyone who is 17 and older can become a member of TCS for $25 a year.
