The Manitoba Lung Association is sponsoring a Manitoba Quits contest to encourage you to quit smoking.  Regional Smoking Reduction Coordinator for the Northern Health Region Deanna Johnson explains the contest runs from March 1st to 30th so you need to quit for the four weeks but you’re eligible to enter the contest if you quit anytime between June 1st, 2013 and February 28th, 2014.  She says if you quit during that time you can go on the website www.manitobaquits.ca and there’s a registration form on that website.

There are five prizes of one thousand dollars each.  More information and Quit Kits are available at Walmart or by calling Deanna at the Primary Health Care Center at 204-681-3143.
