www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday January 19, 2008 - 25 H E A LT H & W E L L N E S S Smoking 101 Almost five million Canadians, or 19 per cent of the population 15 years and older, smoke. According to Health Canada, close to half of smokers will die from smoking before they turn 70 years old. Smoking causes more than two dozen diseases, many of which are fatal. It is the single most important preventable cause of lung cancer, contributing to 85 per cent of all new cases in Canada. In 2004, almost 14,000 Canadian smokers suffered from lung cancer compared to only 361 nonsmokers. Smoking also increases a person's risk of developing heart disease and stroke by contributing to build up of plaque in arteries, increased risk of blood clots, blood pressure and reduced oxygen in the blood. In 2004, almost 9,300 Canadian smokers over the age of 35 suffered from a heart attack compared with approximately 750 non-smokers. The respiratory symptoms associated with smoking include coughing, phlegm, wheezing and difficulty breathing, and can lead to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) over time. Tobacco kills approximately 45,000 Canadians a year, more than the total number of deaths from AIDS, car accidents, suicide, murder, fires and accidental poisonings combined.
