It is also a myth that
women's financial position

Smoke free dinner and
gala evening planned |

B.C.’ Ss non-smokers are
uniting -- this time around
the dinner tabiec.

Planet Earth existed for
several millions of years
without smoke of any sort,
other than perhaps the
occasional volcanic belch!
Today it is almost impossible
to venture out of your home
or car without billows of
smoke wafting about from

_ the man-madc fires.

There are 7'4 million
cigarette smokers in Canada.
Considering that the average
number of cigarettes smoked
daily by cach is ap-
proximately one package or
20 cigarettes, it results in an
abominable amount of
unnecessary smoke in our
environment, says Action

retailers were “blatantly
fraudulent” in their kosher

“This amounts to
fraudulent representation at
its worst and misleading

dealt with,” Lawrence said.

“Only strictly kosher food
should be sold as and ad-
vertised as kosher.”
