You Can Beat Smoking Today!
Enjoy a Healthier Life.
Pharmacists are a valuable support for those who want to quit smoking. The convenience of the local pharmacy and access to a health professional like the community pharmacist, are vital components in a quit smoking program.
We offer personalized, one-on-one counselling to set you on the path to quitting smoking for good. During your appointment, we’ll discuss prescription and over-the-counter therapies available to you, as well as practical strategies and tips for controlling cravings.
Smoking cessation is not a one-size-fits-all program. For some, nicotine-replacement products can help reduce symptoms. For others, prescriptions therapies such as Champix or Zyban are very effective and are available without a doctor’s appointment. The Ontario Drug Benefit plan, as well as many private drug plans, provide coverage to help you quit smoking. In some cases, we can provide assistance for up to one year and will also provide follow-up care after counselling sessions.
Tips for Quitting
- Avoid alcohol, coffee or other triggers
- Consider nicotine-replacement therapy
- Prescription medication to reduce withdrawal
- Stay active
- Try deep-breathing techniques to combat cravings
- Give yourself a reward
- Keep on trying
