Stop Smoking Program

We have a group program that is designed for people who want help in planning how to stop smoking.  The sessions are held once a week for six weeks.  Each session lasts an hour and a half.

• Learn about nicotine addiction and understand why you smoke.
• Discuss your worries about quitting.
• Develop strategies for dealing with cravings and learn how to cope with nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
• Understand the importance of coping with stress and the role of healthy eating and physical activity in your quit plan.
• Learn about Nicotine Replacement Therapies and prescription medications to help you quit.
• Find support from other group members.

Did you know that people who participate in group counselling for their nicotine addiction greatly increase their chances of success?  If you need more information or to register for a program, contact Addiction Services’ Health Promotion and Prevention department at 1-877-567-0632.
