Dr. Derek Poteryko wants to help people kick the need for nicotine in 2017.
Poteryko is Island Health’s medical director of community health for Nanaimo and is offering a lunch-and-learn workshop, Quit Smoking for Good, on Wednesday (Jan. 18).
Quit Smoking for Good is part of an ongoing lunch-and-learn series created as part of a wellness partnership between Island Health and the City of Nanaimo. Cost is $2 and the class runs from noon to 12:45 p.m. at the Beban Park social centre.
There are two more lunch-and-learns in the series – Heart Health on Feb. 15 and Seniors Health on March 15.
Pre-registration is available through the city’s fall and winter activity guide.
