3 Ways to quit smoking



New year, new habits! Did you know that as soon you as you stop smoking, your risk of cancer, heart disease and lung problems drop, and your overall health improves? Have you tried to quit before? That’s ok! You can use what you’ve learned in the past to make this attempt work better for you. Ask our pharmacist for advice on nicotine replacement therapy and other medications that can help you become smoke-free. Our pharmacists are trained to assess and recommend or prescribe medication and lifestyle modification to assist you in quitting smoking. Below are 3 ways to help you get started.


  1. Identify your triggers: Understanding where and when you most often want to smoke will help you prepare.

  2. Plan your response to cravings ahead of time so you'll know what to do when you're tempted to smoke.

  3. List your reasons for quitting - being able to remind yourself of why you wan to stop smoking can keep you motivated.

Give us a call to discuss or book an in person consultation. (905) 547-2611.
