Health unit wants to hear your quit-smoking stories

Have you successfully quit smoking? The Grey Bruce Health Unit wants to hear your story! It wants to know about “your quit moment” – the moment that you realized it was time to quit.

To celebrate National Non-Smoking Week, Jan. 15-21, the health unit is launching the My Quit Moment campaign, featuring the quitting journeys of Grey-Bruce residents.

“We hope the real and honest messages, directly from local residents about why they ultimately made the decision to quit, will inspire others to think about making a quit attempt.” says public health nurse, Lee Fawcett.

Local stories will be shared on the health unit website. Individuals are also encouraged to follow the Twitter feed (www.twitter.com - @MyQuitMoment) to link to the most recent stories, support, and advice from other quitters.

If you want to share your quit moment, stories can be submitted on-line to publichealth@publichealthgreybruce.on.ca
or by mail to My Quit Moment, c/o Grey Bruce Health Unit, 101 17th Street East, Owen Sound, Ontario, N4K 0A5.
