Quitting smoking is a complicated journey. Dr. Mike Evans from Ontario has made an excellent video that can help get you ready for a quiet endeavor.
If you are prepared to make a quiet attempt, there are numerous means to help;
Smokers’ Helpline
A free and confidential service operated by the Cancer Society of Canada to help provide personal and information about quitting smoking and tobacco use. Telephone and online services available in Manitoba.
1st Week Challenge
Quit smoking during the first 7 days of the month and you could win $500! Why is the first week so important? Because if you go out next week, you’re 9X more likely to retire for good. Quitting smoking is the best one you can do.
Manitoba Quits
The monthly quit smoking contest that encourages smokers to quit for only 24 hours. Their phrase, “everyone counts quiet” suggests that each quiet endeavor helps a person such as skills, mental strength and motivation to finally quit for good.
Run to Quit
Run to Quit helps smokers of any fitness level quit smoking by learning to walk or run 5 km! Participants can join the Program itself OR gain extra support by participating in running the Retirement Program.
On the way to Quitting
These Health Canada guides will provide you with the information and skills you need to successfully stop smoking. Spend some time online reviewing a book, order a copy or a paper to view your options, understand what to expect in a quiet endeavor, and learn tips to help you along the way.
