Now imagine them stone cold dead., Naw picture that happen- ing in 100 other communities across Canada each year to get a clear picture ofjust haw ugly the carnage is, SHealth Canada tels us that tobacco-related diseases kili over 40,000 Canadians a year. That's 40,000 pre- ventable deaths. The next closest cause of preventable deathis is traffic deaths, whiÉch lnel uding drunk driving idli only 4,000 in comparison. The ratio is 10 - 1 between them, and tobacco accounts 18 ac for 80% ofah preventable deaths. M But tobacco deaths? Hey, why get excited? Just ane of those thlngs - if people want ta smake, they'll smake.

Idren Passed before the election, Bll C-7 1, limits cigarette pro- loar, motion and advertising. 18 ac Anather nice gesture. but- wlthout enough muscle to caunter the tobacca compa- nies' relentless propaganda campalgn to attract fresh new lungs. Nice, but still far from enough. There's much more we can do. Here 's how we can make the tobacco companies use a tiny fraction of their huge profits to really tackle the issue of smoking among Canadian youth. After aIl, tobacco companies have told us, ln wide-eyed sincerity, that they would love klds ta stay away from their prod- ucts. But, dam It al, theyjust can't seem to stop these kids. Let's take a bit of their money and help them in their noble crusade., I amn introducîng a private member's bill that wlll place a levy. of 50Q4e a carton on cigarettes - an amount that my frlends in the police tell me won't take us back to the days of widespread smug- gling. If passed, the bill will generate $120 million a year. Half the money - $60 mil- lion - will go to a foundation that works at arm's-length from the govemment, a foun- dation that will award grants to community organizations that come up with programs to help young people either kick the habit or avoid it. That sum will climb by $20 million a year for five years, then sta- biize at $120 million ayvear. The bifh will provideê $50 million in the first year to help the arts and sports industries find new sponsors for the money, provlded by tobacco sponsors. This transitional funding will decrease by $10 million a year and disappear after five years. Finally. there will, be $10 million a year for tabacco farmers, to help them switch to new crops. Again, that will decrease by $2 million a year each year for flve years, at whlch point new crops should be self-sustaining. We are desperately trying to revamp our approach to education to give alI aur young people a chance at lmprovlng their mlnds and landing a good job. Let's do one more thing. Let's use the tobacco company's money to find creative ways of getting the message across that brains won't take you any- where after your lungs and heart conk out. Write your MPP that there is a private member's bill coming out of the Senate that deserves his or her support. Tell the rime Minister's office aswell. Ask others in your' communlty ta write as well (remember na postage neces- sary). Together we can make a difference.
