In April 2022, Pharmacist Manitoba launched a Social Impact Bond with the Manitoban Government called The Quit Smoking With Your Manitoba Pharmacist Campaign.

 

The campaign's goal is to help 4500 Manitobans quit their smoking addictions by March 31st, 2025.  

 

The Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy in The Pas is a part of the program Individuals eligible for this program must be 18 years of age or older, be a Manitoba resident with a valid Manitoba Health Card, and consent to participate in the program.  Individuals involved will receive up to a one-hundred-dollar subsidy towards smoking cessation products along with counseling sessions.

 

CEO of Pharmacists Manitoba Tanjit Nagra notes quitting smoking is not an easy task but they hope with the help of a pharmacist and resources made available through this initiative interested participants will feel motivated and supported every step of the way.
