This is the second webinar in our three-part Quit Journeys series.
This webinar features a married couple sharing their personal journey navigating tobacco use within their relationship. With one partner who smokes and one who does not, participants will gain insight into how tobacco use affects both individuals and families.
The session will explore the role of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), highlighting that it can be a useful tool not only for those ready to quit, but also for individuals working toward reducing tobacco use. Through lived experience, the presenters will discuss the challenges, motivations, and family impacts associated with smoking, offering a unique perspective on support, understanding, and the path toward change.
