Health Unit boundaries beginn- °
ing in January of next year.
“The* best efforts to reduce —
smoking have so far not been
particulary with ’
teenage girls,”’ said Bowering. °
“In fact, the number of
teenage girls smoking is increas- “
ing. Its part of the body image —
‘that smoking keeps you slim.” ~
“Tt also seems to be one of ,
‘the rites of passage — that you '
have to do something that |

adults’ don’t approve of and

that you have to undertake |
something that is a risk. Unfor- °
tunately it’s a distorted risk — it °
doesn’t show. up until a person *
is 50 or 60,’? said Bowering. -
One of the problems, added
Bowering, is that smoking is ad-
dictive but young people, unlike |
those in their 30s or 40s, don’t °
have a reason to stop.
The health unit is working
with a consultant to develop the
proposal for submission to the
research foundation in time for |
a Sept. 1 deadline. .
