Assisted and Unassisted Quitting: Do Immigrant Neighbourhoods Quit Differently?

Ontario has a diverse population with one third born outside Canada but little is known about how living in an immigrant neighbourhood affects smoking.

Culturally adapted and effective smoking cessation resources may be needed to assist smokers in these neighbourhoods.
