Quit/Don't Start Challenge

As part of National Non-Smoking Week, Lakehead University is partnering with the Thunder Bay District Health Unit to host a Quit / Don’t Start Challenge for the Lakehead community.

This five-day challenge runs Monday to Friday and encourages participants to avoid smoking, vaping, and other tobacco or nicotine products. Whether you are working toward quitting, cutting back, or choosing not to start, the challenge offers a short, supportive opportunity to reflect on habits and try something different for the week.

The challenge is open to all members of the Lakehead community. Participants who sign up will receive a brief daily check-in email with encouragement, reminders, and resources throughout the week.

Participants who avoid tobacco and nicotine products for the full week will be entered into a draw to win a $200 gift card. All other participants will be entered into a draw to win a $100 gift card.
