| Quit Smoking Ontario |
Question:
Has the sales ban of cigerattes at pharmacies in Ontario helped people quit smoking?
Answer:
As an ex-smoker born and living here in Toronto, Ontario I can
testify to the fact that this particular anti-tobacco measure was
extremely effective for me. My finally quitting smoking after over 20
years of an average of 2 packs a day occurred around the time that
cigarettes were removed from pharmacies. I believe my decision to quit and
success in doing so was directly affected by this ruling as well as moves
towards elimination of cigarette advertising, highly effective HEALTH
WARNINGS printed on Canadian cigarette packaging, higher taxes on
cigarettes, limiting of public smoking and the support of my doctor,
family and friends.
