UBC develops resource to help fathers take the first step to butting out

The FACET research team has developed a resource booklet geared specifically towards new and expectant fathers who want to become smoke-free. The booklet, The right time….The right reasons, will be available online on Father's Day.

Based on the real-life thoughts and experiences of dads who have -- or are currently trying to – quit smoking, the booklet was designed to reflect the unique challenges that men face as fathers and smokers, as well as start a conversation about the motivations behind quitting. . .
