Northern Health has some tips if you’re looking to get rid of those smokes for the coming year.
Lead of tobacco reduction Nancy Viney says there are many ways to cut down, including the use of a journal:
“Record what you’re doing when you decide to smoke and why you feel you need one, you may even find by doing that you reduce the amount you smoke prior to quitting”
Viney says smoking rates in the North are particularly high, saying every relapse starts with a slip, but not every slip needs to lead to a relapse.
She says you should always remind yourself that tobacco companies don’t own your money, your looks or your health, and to visit quitnow.ca for support services.
