Smoking & tobacco cessation
Smoking is the biggest threat to the lung health of Canadians. Every year more than 37,000 Canadians die from tobacco use and hundreds of thousands struggle with smoking-related diseases. (Refer to Health Canada's CTUMS data for the latest trends and statistics on smoking in Canada)
We offer a variety of services free of charge to help, including:
- Information resources.
- Free quit lines to help smokers kick the habit.
- One-on-one telephone and in-person consultations. Qualified educators are available to give consultations on smoking and tobacco cessation. In-person consultations are by appointment only.
- Education and professional development seminars. Teachers or administrators looking for more information on smoking and tobacco cessation should contact the BC Lung Association to discuss available educational resources, speaker opportunities and activities.
- Smoke-free signs and decals. Call the BC Lung Association for assistance.
