Tobacco is the #1 cause of disability and death and most smokers DO want to quit. The good news is that counselling and medication can more than double the chance that a smoker who tries to quit will succeed.

How you can help:

• Refer tobacco users to Yes! I'm Ready to Quit so they may develop a Quit Plan.
• Put up a poster or share a flyer about World No Tobacco Day 2010.
• Send an E-card to encourage would-be or recent quitters with specific messages.

This fall, NOEP will offer new CNE on Tobacco Cessation. Together, we can educate patients and friends on the dangers of tobacco use and help them kick the habit!
