| Thanks to the hard work
of Stephen Peters, Sue Crouse, Doug Hergett and other Smoke
Free Kings volunteers, Berwick and Wolfville are seeing lots
of bad habits go up in smoke.
These were the first two communities in
Nova Scotia to adopt 100 per cent smoke-free bylaws. Over 1,600
homes and vehicles in Kings and Annapolis counties are now registered
as smoke free. And recent reports show a reduction in youth tobacco
use.
Smoke Free Kings want to make Nova
Scotia a healthier place to live, and so does Health Promotion.
We're proud we were able to support their important work by providing
funding and advice.
Tobacco control is one of six key
strategic areas Nova Scotia Health Promotion has identified and
is addressing to make Nova Scotia healthier. Find out more about
