If your New Year’s resolution is to quit smoking, Dr. Derek Poteryko can help.

Dr. Poteryko, the Medical Director of Community Health for Nanaimo, is offering a Quit Smoking for Good workshop on Wednesday, Jan. 10. His goal is to get people started on a healthier path by Weedless Wednesday, which falls on Jan. 24.

“Weedless Wednesday is a day when those who smoke can challenge themselves not to smoke,” said Dr. Poteryko. “Kicking the nicotine habit can significantly improve a person’s overall health, and this workshop provides key strategies to help do that.”
