Local Nurses train in Smoking Cessation Techniques

A valuable day of information for health care professionals across the region.


Roughly 50 people participated in a Nurses Association of Ontario 'Smoke Free' Workshop this week.

Public Health Nurse Sue Wood says their goal was to train nurses so they can improve their smoking cessation and brief intervention techniques.

The Nurses Association stresses when nurses intervene, smokers quit.
