According to Soemnet Pamphlet
Smoking Costs

“Cigarette smoking is cost-
ing the taxpayers of British
Columbia millions of dollars a
year in medical services, hosp!-
tal care, property loss and
forest fires... but most critical
of all... it kills.”

That is the lead statement
in a new Ministry of Health
pamphlet titled “Cigarettes
And Your Health", recently
introduced by Health Minister
Bob McClelland,

The pamphlet says that
your chances of dying from
* heart disease, Canada's number
one health problem which ac-
counts for 80,000 deaths each
year, are nine times greater if
you smoke. The chances of
dying from lung cancer aro
eight times greater, and your
chances of dying from emphy-
sema are five times greater.

“The Ministry of Health’

pamphlet serves a two-fold

Millions Yearly

purpose,” McClelland said. “It
encourages smokers to give up
smoking, and it helps them kick
the habit with suggestions for
diet and exercise during the
most difficult period of cigar-
ette withdrawal, the first seven
\ days.”

The health minister said
that some of the health hazards
described in the pamphlet are
common knowledge, but it also
outlines many dangerous ‘as:

“pects of smoking Y have
received little public recogni.
tion.

“There is also evidence,”
the minister said, “that the
chemical carcinogens in cigar-
ette smoke can enter the fetal
bloodstream if the mother
smokes during pregnancy.
Cancer is the fourth leading

cause of death between the. -

ages of 1 and 14, and a number
of cancers are present at birth.”

Radio and television inter-

Junction with the display,

Regional tourism. co-
ordinator Earl Hansen said he
was exceedingly pleased with
the way the travel show pro-
gram was received,

“With the big crowds we
had during the shows,” said Mr.
Hansen, “we were still able to
personally attend to the ques-
tions and requests of those who
were interested in our.area. ©

“As a result of this per-
sonal approach,” said Hansen,
“I'm sure we are going to see
some additional’ visitor. traffic
from thése four cities in 1977.”

The tourism co-ordinator
said that plans were already
being put together for a similar
promotion next’ year, perhaps
involving six or seven cities.

“In light of the tremendous
success of this year's travel
show program,” Hansen added,
“L would strongly urge all com-
munities that are interested in
participating next year to let us

The Kootenay Boundary
Chambers of Commerce ‘are
compiling a detailed inventory
of area attractions, events and

facilities that will prove to be a:

valuable tool in encouraging
visitors to stay in the area one
more day. |

According to regional tour-
ism co-ordinator Earl Hansen,
the lack of this detailed. in-
formation has been one of the
reasons why the Kootenay-
Boundary area doesnot hold
visitors as long as most other
areas of the province.

“At the present time,” said
Mr. Hansen, “our region ranks
next to last in holding visitors.”

“While some areas of the
province ‘hold visitors for, an
average of nearly three nights,”
said Hansen, “here in the Koot-
enay “Boundary area we are

4 holding them for less than two.”

The tourism co-ordinator
said that without generating
any new traffic the region could
increase its revenues by: as
much ‘as $40 million if it can
‘encourage one out of every two
persons who visit the area to
stay one more night,

“The first part of our, cam-
paign to hold visitors,” said Mr.
Hansen, “is to compile a de-,
tailed listing of all attraction
facilities and events which
would be available for dis-
ribution at local information

centres,

“The second’ part of the
campaign,” he added, “was to
increase the hospitality that is
shown to visitors when they
stop at a service station, res-
taurant, gift shop, or any other
business in the area.

“We are currently ‘looking

pin made up for employees’ of
businesses that serve visitors,”

sald Hansen, “with a prominent
message of welcome to the area
displayed.on the badge. <’.

“Anyone who has an idea
for an appropriate slogan’ for
this badge should send it in to
us," he added, “as we are
running a contest with a $50
prize for the best one.”

The hospitality slogan con-
test is open to all residents of
the Kootenay Boundary area,

Entries should be sent to
the “Hospitality Contest” Koot-
enay ‘Boundary Chambers of”
