Quitting smoking is the single best thing a person can do to improve their health. It is important to ask your patient about their smoking status. You can assist them with quitting by providing cessation counselling or referring to other community services.
Public Health offers follow-up with trained quit specialists and no-cost nicotine patches, inhaler, gum and lozenges. If you have a patient who is interested in quitting, we encourage you to complete the online referral form to connect them with Public Health’s smoking cessation team. Patients can self-refer by calling our Tobacco Talk Line at 613-966-5500 extension 600.
