Perth County ― Have you successfully quit smoking? We want to hear your story! We want to know about your quit moment – the moment that you realized it was time to quit.
To celebrate National Non-Smoking Week, which takes place from January 15-21, 2017, the Perth District Health Unit is launching their campaign, My Quit Moment, which features the quitting journeys of Perth County residents. “Through reading real and honest messages directly from local residents about why they ultimately made the decision to quit, we hope to inspire other people in our community to also think about making a quit attempt” Adrienne Adas, Public Health Promoter says.
Local stories will be shared on the Perth District Health Unit website (www.pdhu.on.ca/myquitmoment). Individuals are also encouraged to follow the Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/myquitmoment) to link to the most recent stories, access support and read advice from other quitters.
If you want to share your story, visit www.pdhu.on.ca/myquitmoment and follow the instructions.
