Who Are We?

Leave The Pack Behind is an innovative, multi-campus initiative serving post-secondary students at risk of starting or continuing smoking. 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. We are very excited to be in our fourth year of the program here at Western!

Looking for Support?
