Terrace Standard, Wednesday, January 30, 1991

A recent B.C. Lung Associa-
tion survey, released.to coincide
with National. Non-Smoking
Week, has. found grade 5-7

students living outside the lower ©

mainland are almost twice as
likely to have tried smoking as
their southern peers.

That, however, does not sur-

, prise Dr. David Bowering, chief

niedical officer at the Skeena
Health Unit who says it has
always been his impression the
incidence of young smokers was
“significantly higher?” in this
region.

Asked if they had ever smok-
ed, even if just once, only 23 per
cent,of lower mainland studerics
said they had. For those living

elsewhere in B.C. — the figures
‘are not broken down beyond

that — the figure was 42 per
cent, That pattern was repeated
on every question in the survey.

Emphasizing the importance.

of parental influence, Bowering
said if they smoked, there was a
greater chance their children
would try it. (The survey reveals
53 per cent of those outside the
lower mainland had.an adult at
home who smoked compared to
35 per cent on. the lower
mainland).

Sugeesting northwestern
parents were more likely to
smoke than their southern
counterparts, he attributed that
to “a little bit of the frontier
mentality. Rugged  in-

‘dividualists tend to gravitate to

the north,” he explained, ad-
ding that was the image

for the project.

- Volunteer bureau
one step closer

A local committee will move one step closer to its goal of
establishing a local volunteer bureau-seniors information of-

: Having received confirmation of a near-$30,000 provincial

government grant, the group is seeking applicants for the

“ post, said member Betty Stewart. The closing date is Feb. 8
vand the co-ordinator will start work on March 1.

Stewart said the idea of a volunteer bureau had emerged at
workshops held last April. Those sessions had produced ‘“Jots
of ideas’’ for different services the community should be of-
fering. However, it was clear most would have to rely on
yolunteers both in developing and running them.

Given that and the difficulties already being experienced by
a number of local organizations in attracting and keeping
volunteers, ‘*It ai more logical to put a volunteer bureau

Stewart said the’ role of the bureau would be to bring
together potential volunteers and community groups looking

Individuals who came into the bureau to sign up for
volunteer work would be given a brief orientation on what it
was like being a volunteer. Emphasizing the need to ensure
their expectatiopis were realistic, she said it was important
volunteers were happy wherever. they worked. If not, there
was a danger the experience would turn them off volunteering
altogether, ‘‘We wouldn’t put people into situations they

marketed in much, of the tobae-.

co industry’s advertising.

Therefore, even though nor-"

thern smokers knew it was bad
for them and
elsewhere was to kick the habit,
he suspected there was a tendeni-
cy for them to continue just. to
prove “‘they’re not sissies.”’

Another contributing factor:
was few northern municipalities
had - strong anti-smoking ‘ by-

laws in. place. “As‘a result, he

said, in this region. “you really:

have: to: look: around for a
smoke-free restaurant.’’ That

contrasted with the lower ©

mainland where*'you can hard-

ly find a place to smoke.”

Part of the: problem was

For their part, organizations would advise the bureau of
