NE OF THE GIFTS given Terrace’s New Year baby was an infant car seat, The

gift was presented by Dr, Geoffrey Appleton, the local representative for the B.C.

Medical Association.

Buckling up your baby

TERRACE’S NEW Year’s baby will have
a safe start in life, thanks lo a 13-year-old
tradition started by B,C. doctors.

The new baby was given an infant car
seat by Dr. Geoffrey Appleton, representing
the B.C. Medical Association.

The car seat was one of 84 distribuled to
New Year’s babies across the province,

This lifesaving gift is a 13-year-old tradi-
tion with the medical profession, which
wants to ensure baby’s safely from the very
first ride home from the hospital.

Dr. Dan MacCarthy, chair of the BCMA
Council on public Affairs and Communica-
tions, said today’s parents are very con-
scious of health care during pregnancy,

‘Expectant mothers nurture, protect and
care for their unborn child for nine months
befure their entrance info the world,”’ said
MacCarthy. ‘*Once outside the safety of the
woinb, itis equally important to protect the

child in a motor vehicle.”’

Come out of the cold |

NOW IS the time to make a
resolution to get healthy and
quit smoking. The B.C.
Council on Smoking and
Health is celebrating Na-
tional Non-Smoking Week,
January 15-21 to create
awareness of the health
benefits of kicking the habit.

“January is a great time to
quit smoking,”’ says Shirley
Thompson, B.C. Council
chairperson, “as ils the
stat of a new year and
many of us look at ways of
gelting more healthy. It is
also a good time because it
is the coldest time of the
year for smoking outside.”’

According to Thompson,
it’s important to first decide
on a date to quit smoking
and start preparing yourself
for that date, for example,
Weedless Wednesday on
January 17th.

When you pick your quit
dale, remember ta choose a
time that will allow you to
concentrate on quitting and
avoid things thal trigger
your craving to smoke. Be
aware that you will probably
have to overcome some
withdrawal symptoms,

Here are some other tips
to help you quit:

Look at ways to break
some of the patterns associ-
ated with smoking = in
specific situations. If having
a cup of coffee makes you
wait to smoke, try drinking
it differently, like black ar
with sugar.

If talking on the phone
gives you the urge to light
up, keep a pen and paper
handy so you can keep your
hands busy doodling.

Now that you’ve made the
decision to quit, there are
different ways of acting on
it: you can quil cold turkey;
gel support from clinics and
olber educational support
groups; or use nicotine re-

placements such as nicotine
gum or the patch.

If you’ve tried before and
failed, dun’t give up. Re-
member... each lime you try,
you find cut more about
what works and what
docsn't work for you. Try
and understand the reasons
why you smoke and the
things that make you want
to light up.

MacCathy ciled a 1992 Transport Canada
Survey in which nearly 28 per cent of chil-
dren under five years of age were nol ina
restraint system appropriate for their ages,
or they were unrestrained.

Some common usage errors include:

seals,

Carthy.

Try to avoid places where
people smoke as it can trig-
ger strong urges. Knowing
your triggers can belp you
plan alternatives lo smoking
and make quilling easier.

For most people, quitting
cold turkey is the best way.
Culling down gradually can
somelimes backfire. What
can happen is, although
you're smoking fewer
cigarette, you can become
so obsessed with those few
cigarettes, it can be much
more difficult to finally say
‘no’ to them.

The BC. Council on
Smoking and Health urges
British Columbians to think
about their health and quit
smoking now,

Over §,000 British Colum-
bians will die from smoking
this year and it remains the
leading cause of preventable
illness in Canada. Smoking
can cause lung cancer, heart
disease and strokes.
Smokers are also more sus-

“It is critical that parents carefully read
