Leave The Pack Behind is an innovative peer-to-peer smoking cessation initiative at Ryerson. LTPB includes continuous multi-channel education, ongoing interpersonal outreach through student-staffed displays and office hours, and uninterrupted access to smoking awareness, reduction, cessation, and interventions for students. . It offers peer to peer support, information, free resources, carbon monoxide testing, and referrals to campus health professionals for the patch or the gum, for FREE.
LTPB is not an anti-smoking organization; rather we run awareness and smoking cessation programs. People have the right to choose to smoke, but we believe by educating students about the associated risks that they will make a healthy, educated choice on their own.
Leave The Pack Behind at Ryerson University is a branch of the Health Promotion Department (http://www.ryerson.ca/studentservices/healthpromotion)
