Message from the Minister of Health - National Non-Smoking Week – January 17-23, 2016

Canada has made great strides in tobacco control, demonstrated by our country's all-time low smoking rate of 15 per cent. However, millions of Canadians continue to smoke, increasing their risk for developing cancer, heart disease, lung disease, stroke, or other complications. During National Non-Smoking Week, and throughout the year, the Government of Canada supports smokers in their efforts to quit smoking and live healthier lives.
