"The reasons women smoke tend to differ from inen," ac- cording to a press release from the Huron County Action Group on Women and Smoking. Peer support is more impor- tant for women than Hien who are trying to quit, and "research has shown that women in mixed groups are olden reluc- tant to participate or share their experiences," adds co-ordinator Ruth Cooper in a press release from the Huron County Health Unit about the program funded by the federal government but administered by various arca women's agencies and the health unit. Young women between the ages of 20 and 24 make up the largest group of smokers. Sonic other statistics are startling.

Cooper says transportation and child care will he provided for women who otherwise might not be able to attend.
