The Algonquin FHT Smoking Cessation Program offers smoking cessation counseling for people who want assistance to help them reduce or quit smoking. We also offer a free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) clinic, providing free patches, gum, lozenges and inhalers, along with smoking cessation counseling for up to 26 weeks for people who want to reduce or quit smoking.
You will meet individually or as a couple with a smoking cessation counselor at the Algonquin FHT offices in the Howland Building. Initial appointments are booked for an hour, and follow-up appointments are usually half an hour. Some of the information you can expect to discuss includes:
Individuals who are seeking assistance to help them reduce or quit smoking can refer themselves, or their doctor/nurse practitioner can refer them for smoking cessation counseling. Referral to the nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) clinic requires a referral from your doctor or nurse practitioner.
