Last year, the Middlesex-London Health Unit hosted an outdoor Smoke-Free Movie Night, featuring Disney’s The Lorax. The event was a huge success, with approximately 1300 people in attendance. Please come out again this year to show your support!
This movie night aims to raise public awareness about the issue of smoking in movies. When children see smoking in movies, it increases their risk of smoking later in life and, thus, could increase their risk of developing health problems. Please join us at our Smoke-Free Movie Night, and be sure to sign our advocacy card in support of change. We want to protect our kids from tobacco images and prevent them from trying tobacco products!
