Non-smoking week

It’s national non-smoking week and the Canadian Cancer Society is urging people to butt out.

The group admits on its website that quitting isn’t easy.

But even relatively light smoking can cause lung damage because the damage adds up over time.

The cancer society offers a step-by-step self-help quit program called “one step at a time” to help people figure out why they smoke so they can lay out a good plan to quit.
