Inside the card reads: "Picture you, picâ€" ture me, In a world that is Smoke Free." CONGRATULAT The greatest concern is the numâ€" ber of teenage girls who start smokâ€" ing. According to figures released by Health and Welfare Canada, 15.2% of girls aged 15 and 16, an 27.8% of 17 to 19â€"yearâ€"old female smoke, compared to 10.4% of boy 15 and 16, and 28.2% of males aged| 17 to 19. Incidence of smoking dropped 50% from 1966 to 1986 fo males 15 to 19, and only 11% fo females in that age category. The HCSH has invited all Grade 5 classes in Halton to enter a poster contest on the theme "12 Things To Do Instead of Smoking," using‘ magazine cutâ€"outs, drawings, or photographs, mounted to a sheet 0 bristol board measuring 24 by 36 inches. Prizes are pizza and drink for the winning class, and a polaroid camera. "Hopefully, these kids in Grade 5 will grow up to be Canada‘s first generation to grow up not smoking by the year 2000," concluded See. _ "Most people who are going to smoke do so before age 19," says See, "so the key is to stop them before they reach their 18th birthâ€" days. If people are not smoking by age 19, chances are they never will." The impending changes are fueled by reports from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States stating environmental, or secondâ€"hand, tobacco smoke causes an estimated 3,000 deaths among nonâ€"smoking Americans annually; Toronto‘s antiâ€" smoking bylaw, said to be the toughest in Canada, virtually banâ€" ning smoking in all public places and allowing workplace smoking only if there is a separate room venâ€" tilated directly to the outside; and a statement from Ontario health minâ€" ister Frances Lankin promising legâ€" islation to curb tobacco sales to chilâ€" dren under 19, and in pharmacies. ‘ The warnings against cigarette smoking are becoming more seriâ€" ous, and bylaws against smoking are becoming tougher. "Both Oakville and Burlington are thinkâ€" ing of toughening up their antiâ€" smoking bylaws," says Joyce See, chairperson of the Halton Council on Smoking and Health (HCSH), a local lobby group which consults with local municipalities on smokâ€" ing bylaws. "Halton Hills doesn‘t even have a bylaw," she adds. Today is Weedless Wednesday, the midpoint of National Nonâ€" Smoking Week, Jan. 18th to 24th. Today Joan Gibb, president of the Oakville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society, will be taking her antiâ€"smoking bucket to various pubâ€" lic places across town, asking smokâ€" ers to ‘butt out.‘ Encouraging children not to start smoking "DELJY DARNCIRNG FREDDYS 368â€"1 797 TORONTO Dundas Classes for all ages Ballroom also available )17 _ â€" 897â€"8927 Exercise QNS!
