The Lung Association is one of Canada`s oldest health-related charities. 
We work to improve lung health by funding medical research, raising 
awareness of important risk factors influencing lung health, and providing 
education to help those with breathing problems.

Tobacco use is the most important preventable risk factor for lung 
disease. Whether direct or indirect, exposure to tobacco smoke contributes 
to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease 
and lung cancer. The reduction of tobacco use forms a cornerstone of our 
efforts to prevent lung disease.

Initiated in support of Smoke-Free Ontario, The Lung Association's Youth 
Advocacy Training Institute (YATI) provides youth-focussed training and 
technical support to the province's smoking prevention program. This year,

programs for youth can be adapted to other areas of chronic disease 
prevention.
