This service is available to SRCHC clients who live within the catchment area. It includes one-on-one counselling, education, and support, as well as access to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). We use a harm reduction approach and can connect you with community resources and education workshops related to smoking and tobacco use. Please speak to your primary care provider to make an appointment.
Everyone’s quit journey is unique. Some people stop smoking all at once (cold turkey), while others prefer to cut back gradually. We’re here to support you with resources, tools, and options that match your needs and goals.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) helps you quit smoking by delivering a lower, controlled dose of nicotine—without the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes. It works by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to quit.
NRT comes in several forms, including patches worn on the skin, gum that is chewed to release nicotine, lozenges that dissolve in the mouth, inhalers that deliver vaporized nicotine, and nasal sprays.
NRT is most effective when combined with behavioural support, such as counselling or a quit-smoking program.
