Tobacco, Smoking & Vaping
Homewood Health Centre is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy environment for our patients to heal and enjoy a full recovery. We are proud to be a completely smoke-free and tobacco-free campus.
All patients admitted into Homewood Health Centre must be willing to abstain from all tobacco products during their stay. Tobacco products include cigarettes, cigars, pipes, chewing tobacco, snuff, cigarillos, water pipes, e-cigarettes, vaporizers, lighters, and matches. Bringing tobacco-related products onto the Homewood Health Centre campus and satellite offices and/or smoking or vaping is a prohibited act on any part of the properties under the Smoke-Free Act (2017) provincial legislation.
Patients will be offered resources for quitting tobacco or remaining smoke-free/vape-free/tobacco-free at no additional cost. Tobacco cessation support includes assessment, counselling, group support, strategies for behaviour change, follow-up support at discharge, and withdrawal management with approved tobacco cessation aids.
Please speak with our Admitting Department if you have questions about our smoke-free, vape-free and tobacco-free campus.
