Tip of the month |
Why not help a smoker who wants to quit? You can even invite him or her to join the next Quit to Win! Challenge by offering to be a sponsor.
By sharing your experience, strategies and tips with someone who is just starting the quitting process, you will reinforce what you have gained. And you’ll be able to do so with understanding, respect and empathy since you are well acquainted with both the difficulties and the joys of smoke-free life.
You can also join the Smoke-Free Family program. It’s an excellent way to maintain your status as a non-smoker, to have your choice to live smoke-free respected, and to make known the advantages of this lifestyle.
