Have you gotten the flu shot this year?

Don't forget to wash your hands after being in public and before eating! Just another way to #stayhealthythisfluseason

.@Canada @GovCanHealth @ONThealth @WCDSBNewswire @wrdsb I have come up with several initiatives that could be implemented to teach our youth about the bad side of lighting up. Has the provincial government/Waterloo municipality considered any of these?

.@Canada @GovCanHealth @ONThealth @WCDSBNewswire @wrdsb Hi there, I am a university student interested in learning about educational initiatives that help prevent youth tobacco smoking habits. What is currently being done to teach children about the harmful effects of smoking?

Smoking is still a prevalent issue amongst Canadian youth. Here are some potential solutions to the problem:

That’s a lot of people! This needs to end! #didnotknow

Interesting statistics! In which countries are these issues most prevalent? #EM203Alexander

Perhaps starting with skills education at the elementary school level could be an important start? #makepovertytheminority

Need to put an end to this!!

Check out this VoiceThread and infographic I made on the dangers of smoking! #SayNoToSmoking voicethread.com/myvoice/thread…

This is a little excerpt from an infographic I made, captures the severity of minority poverty in Canada. #makepovertytheminority

Based on lessons learned from previous flavor bans on tobacco, the @truthinitiative report recommends 5 strategies, starting with tailoring your messages to the demographics and needs of the area. See what else they recommend here: ow.ly/DpU130mTxM5

Today, 10th December #HumanRightsDay marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Tobacco negatively impacts the right to life, health, education, #children_s rights, #women_s rights and many others. @AshOrg @unfairtobacco @PartnershipFree

Smoking remains to be a problem among Canadian youth #EM203Alexander #SayNoToSmoking

#DidYouKnow smoking tobacco cigarettes kills approximately 37,000 Canadians every year? #EM203Alexander #EM203Problem

Education is an integral part of mental development and growth however many children in developing countries don't have access to it. #EM203Alexander

@T_Lim_EM203 Thank you so much for reaching out! We are unaware if you mean in North America, or in Indonesia though? North America has recently seen a movement to ban smoking that has taken off. This article provides more information on the topic: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #antismoking

@_saynotosmoking @CDCTobaccoFree @WHO That’s great info - yes, I did mean North America. Thank you so much for your response!

@T_Lim_EM203 As for the health/environmental effects, we have included work done by the @CDCTobaccoFree and @WHO to give you a better understanding of the dangers. cdc.gov/tobacco/data_s… who.int/bulletin/volum…

@_saynotosmoking Hey there, I'm doing a school project on smoking tobacco cigarettes and was wondering about smoking on university campuses. How prevalent is the issue of smoking on university campuses, and what are some health/environmental effects related to smoking?
