Smoke For people with cancer, quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis can make a big difference.
Key Points:
- For people with cancer, quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis can make a big difference.
- By quitting smoking, a person's cancer treatment becomes more effective and their chance of survival increases by about 40 per cent – making smoking cessation support a critical component of initial cancer treatment and high-quality cancer care.
- When the Partnership began leading this pan-Canadian initiative to integrate evidence-based smoking cessation into cancer care across Canada, only two provinces were actively helping people with cancer quit smoking.

BETTER will provide Canadians with prevention and screening strategies to address cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and associated risk factors, seamlessly integrated into family practices.
Key Points:
- BETTER will provide Canadians with prevention and screening strategies to address cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and associated risk factors, seamlessly integrated into family practices.
- The program trains primary care providers such as registered nurses to become "Prevention Practitioners," specially trained in cancer and chronic disease prevention.
- Studies conducted during earlier phases of the program show that engaging with Prevention Practitioners resulted in a notable improvement in patients' ability to set goals and carry through on preventative health activities.
- "The BETTER program will change this, making conversations about prevention a routine part of primary care and having primary care support patients in their efforts."
