This is non-Smoking week and a familiar contest is back. The ManitobaQuits smoking contest launched yesterday and the first quit day is set for Thursday. There’s 1 quit day scheduled a month until the end of the year and it’s a chance to make a quit attempt for a day and practice what is like to be a non-smoker. You will be eligible to win 2-hundred dollars for your effort. This year they’re challenging Manitoba smokers to quit for just 24 hours. That's it, quit for 24 hours and enter to win a prize. They’re doing it this way this year because people who smoke need to build confidence and can do so through practicing new skills over a period of time. The Manitoba Lung Association wants to help as many Manitoban's who smoke as possible. Here in Manitoba the ManitobaQuits contest gas been running for five years, and it has proven extremely successful. To register go to their website at www.manitobaquits.ca.
