FINISHED AT LAST, Pam and Heather prepare for the

Smokers outnumbered
Smoking. habits of Canadians
have remained relatively un-
changed from 1972 to 1973, ac-
cording to statistics released by
National . Health and Welfare
Minister Marc Lalonde.
The latest figures show' that
non-smokers outnumber smokers
in Canada: 53 per cent of the
population 15 years of age and
over does not smoke at all, and -60
per cent-of•the population over 15
does not smoke cigarettes
regularly = that is, every day.
A slightly greater percentage
of Canadian women over the age
of 15 were smokers in 1978 (36.6
per cent) th n in 1972 (35.7 per
cent), continuing a trend evident
since 1965, especially in the pgp
group 15 to 19 years, In 1965, n.8.
per _cent of Canadian .girls in- this
age group were non-smokers,
compared to ,67 per cent in 1972
and 65.9 per cent in 1973.
Of Canadian .men over the age
of 15, 42.2 per cent were non-
smokers in 1973, compared to 42.6
per cent in 1972 and 34.8 per cent
in 1965. The 57.8 per cent of the
smoking male population in 1973
was divided as follows: 47.8 per
cent regular cigarette smokers,
compared to 47.4 per cent in 1972
and 54.6 per cent in 1965; 3.8 per
cen$$ occasional cigarette
smokers, compared to 3.5 per
cent in 1972 and 3.3 per cent in
1965; 6.2 per cent smoked only
pipe and -or cigars, compared to.
6.5 per cent in 1972 aind 7.6 per
.cent in 1965.
From 1965 to 1972, the rising
percentages of women smokers
were outweighed by lower rates
for men, to produce lower over -
a I I figures each successive year.
The 1973 statistics show a halt to
this trend. While the levels of
smoking are close.to 1972 levels,
the over-all ,downward trend has,
levelled off with marginal in-
creases _in many categories.
Statistics, prepared for the
Non -Medical Use of Drugs
Directorate by Statistics Canada,
indicate that those who do smoke,
however, appear;,:be. Y king
more cigarettes per. try ere
has -beer a -r-in-the-perentage-
. of smokers having from 11 to 25,
cigarettes a day and a decrease
in the percentage of the ones
smoking from 1 to 10 cigarettes a
day. The change of the percent-
age of heavy smokers (more than
25 a day) was negligible.
The increase of the number of ----
cigarettes smoked every day by
regular smokers acid the fact that
few smokers are able to stay in
the category of occasional
smokers .indicate the strong
dependency produced by
nicotine.

If you are interested in a hobby

Linda Gale of London wants to
promote a club for Goderich,
Wingham, Clinton and Seaforth if
enough hobbyists are interested.
Miss Gale is acting secretary of
the South-West Ontario- Coin Col-
lectors Exchange and invites in-
terested readers to write to P.O.
Box 4683, Station C, London.
The benefits of such a club,
aside from the joy of collecting,
would include the chance to meet
interesting new friends and an
educational and informative
news bulletin. Miss . Gale ex-
plained that rotating meetings
could be arranged so that
members could attend often
without needing to travel far. The
Exchange would also offer help
and information to beginners.
