WH-ITBY FREE PREFSS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1985, PAGE 31 "'àCountdown"'ý to health Bring in "1986" with a healthy new beginning! Durham Region Long Association will run its smoking cessation program "Countdown" in Oshawa, starting Tuesday, Jan. 7. The seven session course will be held in the Library of Adelaide House, YWCA, 199 Cen- tre St. Sessions will be held on Thesday and Thursday evenings froni 7:30 p.m. A.$50 registration fee is payable in advance, and covers ail costs in- cluding permanently bound course reference materials, counselling at sessions, maintenan- ce manual and a relaxation tape. Al sessions are held in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Countdown offers two prugranis in one - a group programa and a self-help program. The course is designed to not only help smokers suc- cessfully "kick the habit", but to also teach new behaviours which ensure the ex-smoker can maintain a non- smoking lifestyle. Course members have only five weeks in which to break a lifetime ad- diction. However, the friendly competition and genuine support of fellow group members, coupled with professional direction from a Lung Association Course Leader has proved tu be a winning combination. Most recent statistics show that, in a one year period, 30,000 Canadian died as a resuit of smoking related diseases. For the smoker who really wan- ts to bc free of cigaret- tes, Countdown can be the answer. Pre-registration is required, and enroliment is strictly limited.
