This contest is a part of the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit’s smoking cessation campaign specifically designed for new and expecting families. 1 in 4 women in Chatham-Kent smoke during pregnancy, which is well above the provincial estimates. Billboards, bus shelter ads, and helpful resources in doctor’s offices are a few things the health unit is doing to increase awareness and offer help to moms and dads who want to quit.

Call the Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit for more information at 519-352-7270.
