Marijuana causes lung damage, says director Lung disease in Ontario will increasingly be caused by marijuana smoking and by occupational and en- vironmental hazards, the ex- ecutive director of the On- tario Lung Association says. Ross Reid told the annual meeting of the Huron -Perth Lung Association , in Strat- ford May 27 that 20 years of heavy tobacco smoking does lessglung damage than one year of heavy daily mari- juana use. Saying that while it's sad to see a 55 -year-old smoker disabled, Mr. Reid predicted a higher incidence of younger people will be disabled by marijuana smoking. "We haven't seen anything yet." The director told Huron Perth volunteers the Ontario office is designing more ag- gressive environmental and occupational health pro- grams and putting a priority on public education pro- grams. Report provided . Beginning June 12 and run- ning until, early fall, the On- tario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will provide ' a special fruit and vegetable report giving up-to-date in- formation on the market situation and crop condi- tions. The report will be a' ailahle by 3:30 p.m. each Friday and can be obtained by dialing (416)924-4461. The history of the group which began in 1945 as the Ontario Tuberculosis Association, he said, is'one of change and adapting to the public's needs. Once TB was under control the group rfocussed on the prevention of other respiratory diseases and stop smoking programs, and became the Ontario Lung Association in the ear- ly '70s. Tobacco smoking is still a problem but Mr. Reid said public opinion is shifting and "in five to ten years we may work ourselves out of a job." Because public support is essential for the Lung Association's programs,, the director said other fund- raising events besides the annual Christmas seal cam- paign ( "the backbone" of financial support, he called it) are being developed, in- cluding the selling of holly at Christmas and a spring cam- paign in 1982. - Mr. Reid was introdificed by Helen Pletsch of Mitchell and thanked by Rev. Ted Nelson of Avonton. Wm. Leney of Stratford was elected president of the local lung association, suc- ceeding Wm. Kinahan of RR2 Lucknow. New vice- presidents are Michael Con- nolly, RR2, Kippen, and Mr. Nelson. Other executive members are: financial advisor, Harold Gartman, Stratford; committee • chairmen: medical advisory, Dr. Douglas Thompson, Strat- ford; health education, Eileen Beauchemin, Goderich, community ser- vices,- Jean Cann, Exeter; Alice Green, Stratford and E. Doyle, Dublin, Christmas Seal, Edith Brothers, Strat- ford; public relations, M. Dodds, Stratford.
