Today is World No Tobacco Day, and the GNWT Department of Health and Social Services is using the event to highlight the resources available to NWT residents to live a tobacco-free life.
Each year, a new theme for the day is selected, and this year’s theme is “We Need Food, Not Tobacco,” which focuses on growing sustainable crops instead of tobacco as a way to address global food demands.
The GNWT has set up a helpline at 1-800-661-0844, for residents to speak with a trained responder who can help put you on your path to quitting.
