ne in four Canadi-
ans has the oppor-
tunity to enjoy a

cash bonus of hundreds of
extra dollars in 1993—with-
out getting a raise, working
harder or winning Lotto 6/49.

Those eligible are the 26
per cent of Canadians who
are still regular smokers. If
you're one of them, and you
consume one pack a day, you
can save $1,800 a year by
putting an end to your habit.
That's a lot of money. You
could enjoy a winter vacation
in the tropics, a great new
wardrobe, or a fabulous new
large-screen television for the
amount you would save!

And the cash reward is not
even the greatest gift you'll
enjoy. Your health is far more
important than anything
money can buy. If you can
eliminate cigarettes from
your life for only one year,
your risk of heart attack starts
to drop. Even better, after 10
years, your risk of a heart
attack is about the same as
someone who has never
smoked. You'll also enjoy
better odds against lung can-
cer. While smoking, your risk
for lung cancer continues to
rise. Once you stop smoking,
the risk for lung cancer starts
to level off.

The number of regular
smokers has declined dramat-
ically from 1966, when 41
per cent of Canadians were
still addicted. Today, smok-
ing has truly. become a
“dying habit”. But for those

4. If you experience some
mental and physical discom-
fort after quitting, be patient
Keep in mind that this will
only last a short time and it
is well worth it for thé;long-
term benefits you'll achieve.

5. Develop a new activity
to replace smoking. It. may
be walking, needlepoint,
woodcarving—any activity
that you can pick up and do
without delay to keep your
hands busy and take your
mind off the cigarette crav-
ing,

6. If your concerned about
gaining weight, start a regu-
lar exercise program. Eat
healthy, low-fat snacks and
drink lots of water.

7. Develop a buddy sys-
tem. If there’s someone else
in your office or family who
and wants to quit,

But why not give yourself
another chance to quit smok-

Don't be discouraged if

few years ago, many
parents didn't think
twice about sending their

kids down to the comer store for
some smokes. Some still don't. But
a new law in British Columbia will
put an end to this “bad habit” for-
ever.

It's called the Tobacco Sales Act

and its primary putpose is to‘pre-
vent the sale of tobacco products to
children and youth. Passed by the
B.C. Legislature last July, the new
law significantly tightens controls
on the sale of tobacco.

The act reinforces an already

existing federal law which makes it
illegal to sell cig:

requifes health wamings on pack-

The Tobacco Sales Act is

The tobacco crackdown should

Columbia where a recent survey of
11-13 year-olds found that 50 per

Tight controls have proved
effective. In 1991, only a year and
a half after Woodbridge, Illinois,
introduced vendor licensing

+ The number of children who
were regular smokers decreased by
two-thirds.

* The proportion of children
who experimented with smoking
decreased by half.

Research indicates that if you
can ptevent a child from smoking
until the age. of 18, the rof that
child ever the habit drops
dramatically. Also, studies have
shown that a child is more likely to
smoke if one parent smokes and
the odds increase if both parents
are smokers.

There are several reasons why
many people are concerned about
the. issue of children and smoking
in Canada today. Every year,
120,000 young people start smok-
ing. The tobacco industry calls
them “replacement smokers”.
Twenty years ago, the average

smoker started as early as age [6.
But today, the average starting age
is 12 and more than 90 per cent of
smokers start before they reach
their 17th birthday.

There is special concern for
young women. In the 15 to 19-year
a group, 20 per cent of females

as compared with 12 per cent
pease males-—nearly twice as many.

And smoking remains the lead-
ing preventable cause of death and
disability in Canada. Each year,
tobacco kills approximately 38,000
Canadians and about 4,300 people
in British Columbia. Tobacco kills
45 times more people than AIDS
and nine times as many people as
traffic accidents. In fact, tobacco
use kills more people in Canada
than the total number of deaths
caused by car accidents, suicides,
murders, AIDS and drug use.

Tobacco causes 30 per cent of
all cancer deaths (including 87 per
cent of all lung Cancer deaths), 30
per cent of heart disease (as a risk
factor it is more significant than
either high blood pressure or high
cholesterol), 15 per cent of stroke
and 60 per cent of chronic obetruc-
tive lung disease.

is that it Can be done, eape-

cially if you're prepared to learn from quitters who have been suc-
cessful. Here are a few tips from some of them which can help you

Start a winning habit of non-smoking this year!

1. Understand why you smoke. People smoke for many different
reasons. For some it is a chemical dependency. For others, it's 4

Psychological dependency. Understanding your particular depen-
dency will help you break the habit

2. Set a date to quit. Non-Smoking Week, your birthday, or the

first day of your holidays. Any date—just set it and stick to it

3. Ask for support from friends and family. Tell them you may

be irritable for a while after quitting. Also they won't be as likely

encourage them to quit with
you. Ask an ex-smoker to
help you. What better way
to understand what you're
going through.

8. Don't feel left out
because you don’t smoke
Remember, as a non-smoker,
you'll be part of the majori-
ty; two-thirds of Canadians
do not smoke. Of those still
smoking, close to 75 per cent
would like to stop.

9. Don't think you can
take just one puff and not get
hooked again. Nicotine is a
powerfully addictive sub-
stance.

10. Get rid of any

es
reminders of your past ite as

a smoker. Remove ashtyays,
lighters and matches. It'll be
a lot more difficult to start
up again if you don’t have
your smoking paraphernalia
within reach.

11. List all the reasons
why you want to quit and
post reminders around your
Home and work-place. Make
some special plans for all the
money you'll save by not
smoking. Think about how
good you're, going to look

and feel. Remmnding yourself of the benefit you'll achieve will help

keep you motivated

12. If you don’t make it this time,
perhaps your birthday, and give yourself another

special day,

don't give up. Pick another
