Smoking Cessation Program
Program Details (Back to Programs)

Our Family Health Team has partnered with the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation (OMSC) to help you with your smoking cessation needs. This program supports tobacco smokers, cannabis smokers and e-cigarette users to reduce or quit.

Smoking Cessation Counsellors provide individualized one-to-one counseling sessions. We encourage, assist, and educate patients in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

As part of the OMSC program, we can offer our patients a free, 6-week supply of nicotine patches and gum or lozenges.
