WHITEHORSE -- A web page and a summer advertising campaign designed to get people to think about quitting smoking were launched today by Health and Social Services Minister Sue Edelman.
"We recognize there are smokers who have never thought about quitting or who think it is impossible to quit.
We want to get them thinking about it," said Edelman.
"We also want to support the smokers who are already thinking about quitting and the smoker who really wants to take some action.
We can provide them with the tools -- the gum, the patch, the pills but maybe when they hear the stories from others about their experiences, it will help them take that final step," said Ikeji.
