The campaign quotes startling statistics about potential hazards for smoker and non-smoker alike. But unlike more militant non-smok- ing (actions, the campaign does not centre on the condemnation of the habit, but instead provides insight into the benefits of "joining the quitting team" and how smokers can go about achieving that end, at the some time making a better life for themselves and those around them. That is where National Non-Smoking Week can play an important role. As with other lifestyle choices such as diet control, alcohol consumption, abortion and so on, smoking remains a personal decision. We've all heard the phrase: "It's my life, let me live it the way I want to." But more and more evidence is mounting that smoking, in addition to endangering the life of those who partake, also increase health risks for non-smokers, who also wish to live their lives the way they want to. Short of feeble crutches such as New Year's resolutions, there is precious little motivation in our society to make smokers, especially the hard-core variety, want to reject the habit. Legislated measures (typical of government fence-sitting) pay little more than lip service to the problem, and even though peer pressure highlighting the rights of non-smokers has heightened in the past few years, it has in many instances aggravated the situation more than it has helped. There are many smokers who would rather fight than switch, and posturing themselves as victims of overzealous statism, they too cry of rights and free- doms. But some stand out above others, none more so than National Non-Smoking Week, which this year runs from Jan. 15-21. At least two or three times a week, 52 weeks a year, this newspaper receives notices of dedicated days, weeks and/or months. To varying degrees, they all represent good causes. “human-Quinn. - Page , of_this week's Chronicle should be must ttttttttrar,',?,.",':.',','.'.':,',',','.",'.','.?,',,,'.':,',',',',',':.; WOW“. 1LT.N--.Nmreaasdttmreti magma-Luci...“ "iikk -He Ggifkiii '.ttret.fl-ebits1.eatrdtetttterr-,mttet- l _1h.eeretit-tmree,-rdidririria'triiGrtsTea.r 'tfthe-tttrt-eat-ru-ht-sian.;',;. j PM: Paul Winkle!- Waterloo amide is published every Wednesday by Fairway 0 Press, a division ofJEKCOK Inc. owner.
