A program urging people to run to quit smoking hits Nanaimo
NANAIMO — A lot of eyes are paying attention to a quit smoking strategy showing positive signs for those hoping to snuff out for good.
Nanaimo’s first ever Run to Quit clinic starts on Monday, April 3.
The 10-week program is being hosted by Running Room at Country Club Centre. The concept has the attention of the Public Health Agency of Canada and Canadian Cancer Society.
“If we can show people the advantages of being fit and that you can get addicted to feeling good about yourself and getting high on the fact that you’re getting healthy, that’s an important thing,” said Run to Quit founder John Stanton.
