Quit Club

Good morning!
It's the start of another week and a great day to try and quit smoking.

Tips to quit smoking.
Throw away supplies and use the "5 Ds" (Delay, Distract, Deep breathe, Drink water, Discuss) to beat cravings. You can quit cold turkey or step down gradually, and you can try a ni****ne replacement product if that helps.

Quitting is not easy.
It will take hard work.

If you've quit, give some advice to encourage those still thinking about quitting.

How many convenience stores do you pass every day?
Count them the next time you go out.
That's how easy it is to get ci******es.
Then count how many pharmacies you pass - that number is probably a lot lower.
It should be more convenient for people to buy smoking cessation products at the same places ci******es are sold.🚭
Agree?

It's been 2 years since the restrictions on ni****ne pouches in Canada.

We are calling on the government & Health Minister Marjorie Michel to launch a transparent 30-day review and publish the evidence on whether the policy is meeting its stated goals.

Quitting smoking shouldn't depend on your postal code.
It's much easier for rural Canadians to access convenience stores than pharmacies.
Shouldn't products that help people quit smoking be readily available to ALL Canadians?

Setbacks happen. All you need is to get right back at it and to not give up.

The Health Minister says getting ni****ne pouches at a pharmacy should be simple.

Here’s why it isn’t: for a member on Deer Island, it means a 53-minute trip—and a ferry.

Two years after Ottawa made quitting harder, launch a 30-day review. Show us the evidence. Marjorie Michele.

when products people use to help them quit are harder to get than ci******es, there's a problem.

We’re confused, Health Canada. You made ni****ne pouches harder for people like us to get because you’re worried about public health. But old-style CIGARETTE packs are reportedly still being shipped after the deadline? And now…silence.
The rule was supposed to make ci******es less appealing. The deadline passed. Yet the old packs reportedly kept arriving in stores. Health Canada was asked what it was doing about it. They wouldn’t say.
So if I want a product that helps me stay away from ci******es, I have to go to a pharmacy. But ci******es? They’re everywhere...and apparently Health Canada won’t even tell us whether its own rules are being followed. HOW DOES THA HELP ANYONE quit?
This is what makes people like us so frustrated. Health Canada says it wants fewer Canadians smoking. So why make the alternatives harder to get while seemingly looking the other way on ci******es? Make it easier to quit. Not harder!
We’re the people actually trying to quit smoking. Maybe start listening to us. Enforce the rules on ci******es.

Canada’s cigarette packaging requirements changed on August 1, 2026, but reports indicate that short-flap packages continued reaching retailers after the deadline. The issue has raised questions about compliance and Health Canada’s enforcement of the new rules. For more than two decades, Canada ...
