National Non-Smoking Week is underway.
The annual event, which runs until Saturday, helps smokers kick the habit through comprehensive support available online, by phone and in person.
Alberta Health Services suggests smokers check out its Quitters Walls of Fame located in Red Deer and Sylvan Lake community health clinics for success stories. Stories can also be added to the walls.
On Weedless Wednesday, Stettler high school students will hear one man’s story of becoming a non-smoker as well as strategies to reduce and eliminate tobacco. More information on quitting smoking is available online at www.albertaquits.ca, by phone at 1-866-710-7848(QUIT) or by texting ABQUITS to 123456.
