Pharmacists can contribute significantly to the promotion of smoking cessation. Smokers who are more thoroughly followed up by pharmacists have increased success rates when compared with smokers having fewer sessions with pharmacists or who have no pharmacist intervention at all.
It’s Never Too Late To Quit
Benefits of quitting smoking include:
- Improved blood pressure and heart rate
- Increased sense of taste and smell
- Improved circulation
- Lower risk of smoking-related heart disease or stroke
- Improved breathing and lung function
- Reduced risk of lung cancer
Our pharmacists can help you follow a Smoking Cessation Program and create your own Personalized Action Plan. They are also able to prescribe and dispense smoking cessation medications such as Champix, Zyban, and nicotine replacement therapy products (nicotine patch, gum, lozenge and inhaler) that are proven to help with quitting smoking.
