Ready to Quit Smoking? How Your Kanata Pharmacist Can Help
Deciding to quit smoking is the hard part — you've done that. The next step is having someone in your corner. Smoking cessation counselling from your Kanata pharmacist gives you a realistic plan and the support to stick with it.
Why quit with a pharmacist?
You don't have to figure this out alone, and you don't need a doctor's appointment to get started. Your Kanata pharmacist is one of the most accessible health professionals you have — open seven days a week, no appointment needed, and they already understand your medications.
Smoking cessation counselling is about more than handing you a product. It's a conversation about what's worked before, what's tripped you up, and what approach actually fits your life.
What smoking cessation support looks like
- A personalized plan built around your habits and your quit date
- Guidance on options like nicotine replacement therapy and how to use them properly
- Help managing cravings and the rough first few weeks
- Check-ins to keep you on track and adjust if something isn't working
- Coordination with your other medications so everything stays safe
Most people who quit for good don't do it on the first try — they do it with a plan and some support behind them.
How to get started
- Drop by the dispensary at 329 March Road, or call (613) 435-2111.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment to talk about quitting smoking?
No — just drop by the dispensary or call (613) 435-2111. If you'd like a longer, uninterrupted chat, phone ahead and we'll find a good time.
Can a pharmacist help without involving my doctor?
Yes. Your pharmacist can provide smoking cessation counselling and guidance directly. If anything needs a doctor's input, they'll point you to the walk-in clinic next door.
