The first is a presentation highlighting several strategies to combat smoking, a brief encounter with a mentor and 5 weeks of free nicotine patch.” The second part of the program is a support group that includes a mentor and many smokers who discuss their process undertaken to quit. Participants can also receive free therapy. Individual coaching is also offered by the program. Finally, advice by phone can also be facilitated. A mentor program provides a telephone follow-up to the participant through the Smokers’ Helpline.

According to the provincial government’s website, «nicotine is a substance found naturally in the plant called tobacco. This is the only plant in the world that contains nicotine, a drug that is tightens its grip on the body and mind in a very subtle way. « Fortunately for local smokers, a program in the region is available to those wanting to stop their dangerous addiction. «There’s a great programoffered to smok- ers right here in the region,” said Nikolas Hott, Smoking Programs and injury preven- tion Manager at the BSEO.
