Do the Ontario,Canada ministry of health offer free stop smoking aids to smokers?

I believe the ministry offers fre needle exchange and methadone treatment for addicts .Is this same sort of support offered to smokers who wish to quit? For the record, I don't smoke, I'm jusrt curious.Thanks to all who reply.
Sorry about the typo, it should read Does the Ontario Ministry of Health and Longterm care.......
EDIT to Idesiremoonlight, what you say about helping the smoker to stop smoking would be very helpful.The ministry has programs to assist drug addicts ( needle exchange.....not quitting, just providing clean needles...why not the same standard as smokers...stop the addiction not enable it.I am really thinking the government can't afford to lose the tax revenue from cigerette sales and any health concens involving the smoker is secondary at best.

Well if a person is admitted, the physician may order the nicoderm patches. This cost is covered. while they are in hospital at least. It is a start so to speak. As for what the government will provide upon discharge i don't know.
However it would be more pro-active on the part of the government if they had some service such as this. This could also be a platform perhaps to use in the next election period. If they want to ban smoking in all locations etc, then they should provide the support to help the smoker fascillitate this process.
Hope this helps
