Smokers who are trying to kick the habit now have cheaper access to a treatment option. The province added the drug Champix to its drug formulary last Thursday. “Champix is proven to be an effective treatment option for adult smokers who want to quit,” said Healthy Living Minister Jim Rondeau in a release. “Making it available now will mean that people can get it in time to help them with their New Year’s resolution to quit smoking.”

The smoking ban issue unexpectedly blew back into the Casper City Council meeting Nov. 15, hinting of a larger battle to come. Local liquor dealer association member Pat Sweeny re-lit the topic, saying he wanted to take a proactive position on behalf of liquor license owners and businesses against the ban. “I’m coming to speak to you tonight concerning opposition to the smoking ban. There’s been lots of coverage on the desire of Smoke-Free Natrona County to try to put forth a smoking ban. We believe that so far you’ve gotten one side of the story,” Sweeney said.
