But if you have ever consid ered quitting, research shows you have already taken your first step to becom ing smoke-free. In Ontario, one in every four people smokes despite medical evidence that tobacco kills more than 12,000 people every year. Some smokers will tell you they like to smoke and they have no inten tion of ever quitting. But up to half of all smokers ques tioned in an Angus Reid survey in 1998 said they want to quit. In fact, 40% of the smokers said they tried to quit last year. And they are still trying. The Quit Smoking 2000 Contest will be officially launched during National Non-Sm oking Week, Jan. 16th to 22nd. About 2,000 Halton residents are expected to participate. To qualify for prizes, people must quit and remain smoke-free for the month of March. Part of the contest requirement is to have the support o f two buddies, because research shows this type of support system improves a smoker's success at quitting. The celebration for all contest par ticipants, their buddies, and prize win ners, will be held on World NoTobacco Day, May 31st. Volunteers are currently needed to distribute registration forms, to be bud dies, and to encourage smokers who are ready to quit. For more information, leave a mes sage on The Q uit Smoking 2000 Contest Line. 825-6179; or call Tanya Kulnies at the Halton Regional Health Department at 825-6060 Ext. 7525, or TTY 905-827-9833.
