As part of the research for her Honours degree in Pharmacy, Charles Sturt University (CSU) student Sarah Kissiwaa is calling on smokers in Orange to assist her by completing a survey on a ‘quit’ program to be available in pharmacies. “Although there have been enormous declines in the prevalence of smoking over the last decade, smoking is still responsible for too many deaths and there is a lot more we can do to help smokers quit,” Ms Kissiwaa says. The survey will give critical information towards developing the ‘quit smoking’ program. “Quitting is the hardest thing anyone can do, but the consequences of not quitting are much worse.” Ms Kissiwaa recommends the use of nicotine replacement therapy and speaking to a pharmacist or doctor and getting as much support from family and friends as possible. The surveys are available in print and online.
