Next Week is National Non-Smoking week in Canada.
The awareness event began about 30 years ago in 1977.
Dianna Meseyton Neufeld, healthy living program facilitator with the Central RHA says there are several goals to the week.

 



Meseyton-Neufeld adds the theme for this year's week is 'there are hundreds of reasons to quit, what's yours?"
She notes a key event during the week is Weedless Wednesday, a day where smokers can be smoke free and give a feeling of hope that quitting is possible.
