Taking the First Step: Your Guide to Smoking Cessation

Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your health — and at West Plains Medical Centre, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Whether you’ve tried to quit before or are just thinking about it, our team understands that quitting isn’t easy. But with the right help and resources, it’s absolutely possible.

Why Quit Smoking?

• Heart disease and stroke
   
• Lung diseases like COPD and cancer
