Quitting is a gift
December 19, 2011
THE Pharmacy Guild of New
Zealand is urging people to give
themselves the gift of a smoke free
2012 by quitting smoking over the
Christmas period.
“Giving up smoking would be a
gift that goes on giving,” said Guild
President, Karen Crisp.
Speaking about the smoking
process, the Guild reassured
smokers that they won’t have to do
it alone, with a range of smoking
cessation services on offer
including consultation with a
pharmacist who can create a
programme to improve a smoker’s
chances of giving up.
“Many community pharmacies
offer stop smoking services and can
provide nicotine replacement
therapy alongside advice and
support for those wishing to quit,”
the Guild said.
“If you are a smoker, giving up
the habit could be the one
Christmas and New Year resolution
that your family and friends would
most thank you for,” Crisp added.
