"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, February 20, 2001 - 15 Health department holding contest Butt out: It could mean a fabulous tan With only two weeks to go, 143 smok- ers in Durham Region have entered the Quit Smoking 2001 Contest to try and stop smoking for the month of March. The contest, launched during National Non-Smoking Week in January, is designed to help smokers plan to quit for a month as an important step to becoming smoke-free. "Smokers have until Feb. 28 to enter "and be eligible for some really great prizes," says Jennifer Burgess, a public health nurse with Durham Region Health Department. "While you could win a Caribbean - cruise, one of seven RCA DVD players or a matching set of his and her watches, the best prize of all is a smoke- free lifestyle." According to a 1999 Health Department survey, over a quarter of Durham Region adults continue to smoke, risking their health and the health of others around them. In addition, the Health Department reports that smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke are leading pre- ventable causes of death and disease, accounting for 17 per cent of all deaths and 7 per cent of hospitalizations in Canada. "Quitting smoking is the most impor- tant thing a smoker can do to improve their health and we have all kinds of support materials and tips to help smok- ers quit," says Ms Burgess. One such resource is a Women's Quit Smoking Support Group offered by the Health Department. The next six week series begins March 27 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. All sessions will be held at the Health Department's Whitby office, 1615 Dundas St. E. (Lang Tower), Whitby Mall, 2nd floor. "In addition, the contest has a built in support system," notes Ms Burgess. "Entrants have to enlist the support of a non- smoking buddy whose job it is to help the smoker in their efforts to quit." Research shows that having a support system increases a person's success and buddies are also eligible to win cash prizes. 'For more information about the Women's Quit Smoking Support Group, the Quit Smoking 2001 Contest or to obtain a contest form, please call Durham Region Health Department at (905) 723-8521 or 1-800-841-2729, ext. 2125.

The Quit Smoking 2001 Contest is funded in part by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and is sup- ported by 57 local councils on smoking and health and public health units throughout Ontario, including Durham Region Health Department and the Council for a Tobacco-free Durham Region. The Industrial Accident Prevention Association and the Ontario Tobacco- free Network are also partners in this campaign. This year's sponsors include CTV and GlaxoSmithKline.
