(photo/PatBolen) Quit Smoking 2004 contest ONTARIO — Daily smokers in Ontario who want to quit smoking now have a great incentive — the chance to win a new car in the Quit Smoking 2004 Contest. Now in it's forth year , the province -wide con- test is designed to help smokers set a quit date, prepare themselves and then stop smok- ing by March 1, 2004 for at least one month. The contest is open to all Ontario residents who are daily smokers and are 19 years of age or older. Entries must be received by midnight Feb. 29, 2004, and smokers must quit smoking by March 1st and remain smoke free until March 31st to qualify for contest prizes. This year's grand prize, sponsored by Pfizer, is a Mini Cooper, other region- al winners could receive a Toshiba home theatre sys- tem. Winners will be ran- domly chosen on April 1, 2004 and contacted within two weeks. Contest participants are required to enlist the help of a non-smoking buddy who will give them support along the way. Buddies of confirmed winners will also receive cash prizes. About 22 per cent of Huron County residents are daily smokers, and almost half of them want to quit. The prob- lem is that nico- tine is a very serious addic- tion, making it very difficult to quit. The contest gives smokers an extra bit of encouragement with a chance to win rewards. Whether the contest partic- ipants win a prize or not, everyone who quits — even if it is only for a month — comes out a win- ner. Smoke free environ - ments also help smokers quit. On Sept. 4, 2004, Huron County will be going smoke free. A bylaw has been passed that will require all public places and workspaces to be 100 per cent smoke free except for long term care and psy- chiatric facilities. This bylaw was developed to help protect residents and workers in Huron County from the harmful effects of exposer to second hand smoke. To assist work- places in becoming smoke free, the Health Unit is offering a workshop on March 25, 2004 at the Health and Library Complex in Clinton. If you would like a regis- tration form fro the Health Unit workshop, or a con- test registration form, call Sandra Feltz at 482-3416 or 1-877-837-6143.
