New Campaign Unveiled on World No-Tobacco Day
The City of Ottawa and the Ottawa-Carleton Council
on Smoking and Health gathered on May 31, 2001, at Biagio's Italian Kitchen to
celebrate World No-Tobacco Day. The aim of World No-Tobacco Day, this year,
is two-fold: first, to stimulate real actions at the local level and
second, to generate international and local attention to the serious issue
of second-hand smoke.
Janet Hatcher-Roberts, the Executive Director of the Canadian Society for
International Health, praised Ottawa's new smoke-free by-laws which
illustrate the theme of World No-Tobacco Day in a concrete way. "We
congratulate those who have worked so diligently in bringing this important
health issue forward. The citizens of Ottawa will now be protected from
second-hand smoke in an unprecedented way."
Dr. Robert Cushman, Ottawa Medical Officer of Health, took this opportunity
to unveil a community awareness campaign entitled "A Smoke-Free Experience
begins August 1st. "Our City Council had the courage to pass a progressive
and fair by-law that will become the standard for other cities of North
America," stated Dr. Cushman. "That is what the public wants, what it
deserves and what it will soon enjoy."

tabac : "Nous felicitons ceux qui ont oeuvre avec tant de perseverance a
faire avancer cet important dossier de sante publique. Desormais, les
citoyens d'Ottawa seront proteges contre la fumee secondaire comme jamais
auparavant."
Robert Cushman, medecin chef en sante publique d'Ottawa, a profite de
