Smokers in Huron County can take part in the ,,��'y '�,,TOP program and receive counselling '-�5rupport and free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), such as the patch, gum, lozenge or inhaler. Program participants will be tracked over months to determine how effective it is to distribute NRT, free of charge, in this manner. STOP, which stands for Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients, is an initiative being rolled out by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMII), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport, and the Huron County Health Unit. A workshop will be held at the Huron County Health Unit in Clinton on Tuesday January 11, 2011 from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm. At the workshop, participants will learn about quit smoking aids and receive information to help them quit smoking. Participants will also receive five free weeks of nicotine replacement therapy (patch, gum, lozenge or inhaler), "Sometimes the cost of NR's' can hold people back from making a quit attempt. With our program, we get rid of the cost barrier and allow people to begin the quitting process so they may prevent smoking-related illness," said Peter Selby, Clinical Director of Addiction Programs at CAMH and Principal Investigator of the STOP initiative. "There are more choices than ever for smokers who want to quit," says Kim Ross Jones, Public health Promoter at the Health Unit. "We are happy to be partnering with CAW! and the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport to give Huron County residents another opportunity to quit smoking." "Smokers who are ready to quit smoking frequently need support, and we are ensuring that they have access to effective support to help them along the way. That is why the McGuinty government has made unprecedented investments to improve access to smoking cessation resources for Ontarians who are ready to quit," says Minister of 1Iealth Promotion and Sport Margarett Best. People who are interested in participating in the STOP workshops can call the Huron County I Iealth Unit at 519-482-3416 or, if long distance, 1-877-837-6143.
