The Canadian Cancer Society is concerned about the use of tobacco products. We are committed to helping Canadians choose not to smoke, or to quit if they are already smokers. We provide educational material to help prevent smoking, about the hazards of second-hand smoking, and about how to quit smoking.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women.
Tobacco use causes over 40,000 deaths per year in Canada. Many materials are available from your local unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. We also welcome new volunteers who want to work on this issue.
