Every year in Nova Scotia 1,700 people die from smoking and another 200 die from illnesses connected to second-hand smoke.

The doctors of the province want all Nova Scotians who smoke to take the first step and talk with their doctor about quitting.

The most important step is the decision to quit.

Once you have decided to take that step there are many resources and support systems you can turn to for help. Your family doctor and this website are two of them.
