Community Advised Smoking Cessation Project
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in Canada. Smoking can cause cancer, heart disease, diabetes and lung disease.
​
LungNSPEI, in collaboration with community partners, want to better help individuals to quit smoking or reduce their use.
​
The ‘Community Advised Smoking Cessation’ project invites people aged 16 and older from the following communities within Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island to share their opinions:
​
-
2SLGBTQIA+
-
First Nations
-
Lower Income (i.e., annual household income of <$40,000)
​
Smoking rates can be two or more times higher in the above communities than in many other Canadian communities.
​
Through this project, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+, First Nations, or lower-income communities can participate in a survey or focus groups/sharing circles to voice their opinion on what their communities need to help people quit smoking.
