Dear Colleagues!

We would like to inform you that on Friday, May 31, 2013, from 12-1 PM EST during World No Tobacco DAY (WNTD), CAMH’S Nicotine Dependence Service (@PSquitsmoking) is partnering with Ottawa Public Health (@quithelp_kale and @arretfumer_anne) and Smoker’s Help Line (@smokershelpline) for another QuitChat Twitter Chat(#quitchat).

Ban of tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship is this year's theme of the WNTD and a Twitter Chat may present great opportunities for former smokers to share their quitting successes. Everyone is invited to participate: former smokers, those in the process of quitting, relatives and friends of smokers, those working in and committed to tobacco control and cessation!

During the second half of the Twitter a question and answer smoking cessation chat will commence.

Please find a flyer for the event here. The article on how to follow a twitter chat is located here.

In order to follow the book twitter chat, use your twitter account and the hashtag #Quitchat
