Want to stop smoking?

For North Shore residents
a new chance to-do just that
opens up during the last
week of September and the
first week of October.

By December 1, hundreds
of Lower Mainland cigarette
smokers will have kicked the
| habit, thanks to a free eight
week program operated by
the British Columbia Lung
Association.

Started five years ago by
the Lung Association as a
| way to help smokers through

the difficult first weeks of
quitting, Operation Kick It,
as the program is known, has
helped nearly 6,000 smokers
become non-smokers since
its introduction.

Groups of 15 people meet
once weekly, usually in the
evening, to participate in the
program, which claims a 60
per cent success rate.
Operation Kick It is most
often offered as part of the
community education
calendar of school boards
and community centres.

for the volunteer program The
counsellors, all Operation
Kick It graduates.
