18 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday January 23, 2009 www.oakvillebeaver.com Think tobacco-free spring sport E 2009 Ontario Women's Curling Championship Live from the Oakville Curling Club Available Exclusively On ven though we're overwhelmed with snow and cold weather, it is time to start thinking about spring. Registrations for organized sports, such as soccer, are ramping up and will continue into February. This gets us thinking about the beautiful spring weather, being active in different ways and enjoying the fresh air. The Tobacco-Free Recreation and Sports in Halton (T-FRSH) committee is helping to protect the fresh air our children and youth breathe. Recently, the T-FRSH committee launched a new provincial guide for sports and recreation organizations called Play, Live, Be Tobacco-Free (www.playlivebetobaccofree.ca). The guide explains how to promote the tobacco-free message during sport or recreation activities and advocate for bylaw change. According to a 2008 survey, 82 per cent of Halton residents support local bylaws making outdoor public sports fields and sports spec- tator areas smoke-free. Tobacco-free sport and recreation is so important for children and youths because youths are a huge target for big tobacco companies recruiting new users. Parents and coaches are powerful and significant role models for a healthy tobacco-free lifestyle. Halton resident and "soccer mom" Adrienne Pringle welcomes the concept of tobacco-free sport. "Soccer is a time for children to run, play outside and learn a cooperative activity that contributes to overall health," she says. (cable channel 23) Monday, January 26 ..............

They are not only polluting the air with smoke -- they are also exposing our children to an unhealthy lifestyle." Tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable death in Ontario. The good news is that the benefits of quitting smoking happen right away. If you or a friend needs help to quit smoking, contact the Smoker's Helpline at 1-877-513-5333 or www.smokershelpline.ca.
