And since only tNe Per' cent of lung cancer Patients have a chance of cure, the Society considers second-hand smoke a serious problem.

Although second-hand smoke has been tagged as the oftieia1 theme for this year's blitz. the president of the Cancer Society's Grand Valley District says the battle runs much deeper. . “We'll be trying to emphasize facts about cancer, smoking and the risks cigarettes pose to the health of all Canadians, including the unborn," said Jim Hunter, who has battled cancer of his own on and off since 1962. Second-hand, smoke is the smoke trom a cigarette which is inhaled by those around smokers, rather than by smokers themselves. The Society lists two kinds of second-hand smoke; one is the smoke which the smoker exhales after taking a puff-some of the harmful Just how addicted tfyotfre a smoker and think you can kick the habit any time. think again.

Because of a shortage of vohniteers. the only program designated for this year’s non-smoking week is through the media. _ "We're just trying to hang it out and let it blow. We're not attacking any certain groups. We just have to keep plugging an inch at a time," said Hunter. So instead of jamming mounds and mounds of literature down the throats of smokers, local agencies united under the Waterloo Regional Inter-agency Council on Smoking and Health banner are inviting the public to take part in their numerous smoking cessation programs. The Addiction Research Foundation, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario and the Waterloo Region Lung Association, along with the Cancer Society, are all members of the umbrella group. The first of the three clinics offered by the inter-agency council is the Lung Association sponsored “Countdown.” Participants will attend seven sessions over a tive-week period in " attempt to kick the habit.

"Price can often be associated with commitment," she said. A general movement in the workplace is also making it harder to enjoy a smoke.
