Niagara smokers could get free medication to help them kick the habit by joining a landmark Ontario study.

Niagara’s public health department will be screening local smokers for eligibility in the Smoking Treatment for Ontario Patients study, the first of its kind in Canada.

The study, which started last year, tracks the most effective means to quit smoking, said Linda Rix, Niagara’s manager of tobacco programs.

“I really would like to see a high turnout,” she said.

“This is a great opportunity for smokers who want to stop … but don’t necessarily have the means to help pay for these (nicotine replacement therapy) products.”

The Niagara Regional Police Service is once again appealing to the public for help.

This time it’s not to assist in catching a criminal, but to help provide toys and food for less fortunate children in the Niagara Region.

December 1st marks the kick-off of the 17th Annual Niagara Regional Police Service Holiday Food and Toy Drive, and once again public support is expected to be the backbone of its success.

Members of the public are encouraged to drop off any non-perishable food item or new, unwrapped toy to any office of the Niagara Regional Police Service. With help from the public, the Service is hoping to exceed last year’s total of over 1,200 toys, and as always, items collected stay within their respective communities and are distributed through the locally recognized food banks.
