COLD TURKEY CHALLENGE (the “Event”)

WAIVER & RELEASE FROM LIABILITY

Attempting to quit using tobacco and nicotine is not without risk. Quitting using nicotine may cause short-term problems, especially for those who have smoked, chewed or vaped heavily for many years. These temporary changes can result in withdrawal symptoms. Common withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting include the following:

nicotine cravings (nicotine is the substance in tobacco that causes addiction)
anger, frustration, and irritability
anxiety
depression
weight gain

Studies have shown that about half of nicotine users report experiencing at least four withdrawal symptoms (such as anger, anxiety, or depression) when they quit. People have reported other symptoms, including dizziness, increased dreaming, and headaches. If you experience serious symptoms, please consult your physician.

In consideration of the undersigned participation in the Event and the accountability testing that will be provided to the undersigned through this process, the undersigned, and on behalf of himself/herself and his/her spouse, if any, and his/her children, if any:
