Health and wellness workers in Inuit communities are an amazing group. You work on many health issues and have close connections to your community members. You are making a difference. Your encouragement and assistance to help smokers quit and youth not to start is very important work.

This page is for stories and photos about your tobacco use reduction activities in your communities and regions. Quitting stories and elders’ recollections are also welcome.
