National Non-Smoking Week is underway across Canada and health experts are weighing in on some of the myths associated with quit-attempts.
Public Health Nurse and Certified Tobacco Educator Debbie McIntyre says a common myth out there is that Nicotine Replacement Therapy, like the patch, or gum, doesn’t work.

All you have to do is contact your doctor or nurse practitioner to get started.
