Quit Smoking.
Start Living.
Quitting smoking
is the most important thing you can do for your health. Why?
Because every cigarette you smoke takes years off your life.
Every puff you take puts you at increased risk for heart disease,
cancer and breathing problems.
You have the power to live your best quality of life. You
can decide to quit smoking and substantially increase your
odds for living a long and healthy life.
We’re Partnering
With You for Better Health
We have launched
a smoking cessation program - the only hospital-based program
of its kind in the region. Every patient admitted to our Advanced
Cardiac Care centre is asked if he/she smokes. We ask because
we know that providing cardiac patients with the support they
need to quit smoking is the best way we can help them get
back on the road to better health.
The decision to quit has to be yours. What we will do to help
our cardiac patients is:
- Provide a nicotine management kit, “For Smokers
Who Want to Quit or For Smokers Who Don’t Want to
Quit”
- Review prescription options to help manage withdrawal
symptoms
- Refer patients to Peel Health’s free Quit Smoking
Program following discharge from Trillium
Start today.
As your partner
in living the best quality of life, Trillium is here to help.
Here are some resources
to help you plan to quit smoking for good.
