Smoking declines in Canada amid education drive
Canada sees falling smoking rates due to public campaigns and health education. Health surveys show 18 percent current smokers in 2009 down from 25 percent in 1999, with youth smoking remaining a concern especially among grades 10 to 12. Manitoba compares favorably to the national average but faces policy reversals such as a school reintroducing a smoking area at Steinbach Regional Secondary. Resources to quit are available from the Manitoba Lung Association, including online and Westman regional contacts.
