Increase in smokers,
sobering implications
Dear editor:
I. recently read results of a tobacco fir-
m's poll which show that, since' the gov-
ernment cut cigarette taxes in .1994, the
: number, of young Canadian adults who
started smoking increased four per cent
by the end of 1996. (By young adults; the
poll refers to people 19 - 24 years of
age). At first glance, 'four per ceiit.xnay
seem insignificant. However, when we
leak at that four Per cent lithe context of
Grey and Bruce counties, the imiplie'a-
tions.are sobering..•
Suppose. 1 decided to invite ' these new
smokers, along with their smoking peers,.
to a seminar on the dangers of tobacco. In
Grey and Bruce counties, the four per
cent translates into 518 young .adults.
That brings my invitation list; (the total
number of smokers in our counties, 19 -
• 24 years old) to approkirnately 4,181. To
get them all' to my seminar, I would need
87 buses. That's about half the school
buses required for Grey County schools.
If I booked the Bayshore' Community
Centre for the seminar, 1 could pack'
3,840 of ,these .young people in the arena
(2,640 in the stands, 1,200 on the ice).
