Quitting smoking with a little help from a friend

It’s where it began for more than a few smokers–in high school.

So it goes for “Pam” of Port Dover, who had been smoking for 40 years, before finding a way out.

Pam finally said goodbye cigarettes more than a year ago.

It wasn’t easy kicking the habit, but she got by with a little help from a friend.

A friend who had taken a “hynotist course’ hypnotized her in an effort to help Pam quit.

And it worked.

That’s not necessarily any other smoker’s preferred way to quit.

The Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit offers suggestions on it’s website to people who may want to help a friend or family member quit.

Smoking is the cause of the tens of thousands of deaths in Canada.
