The Ontario Lung Association says there’s no better time to stop smoking than right now.
We’re into “National Non-Smoking Week”, and the association says smoking remains a serious problem, responsible for 13,000 premature deaths in the province each year.
It estimates one in five Canadians still smoke, and says it’s Canada’s leading cause of preventable illness and death.
The association is calling on the provincial government to continue to invest in programs to help people quit smoking.
