There are various resources you can check for information about quitting or stopping smoking in the Canada region including Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Quebec.

I’ve collected some statistics on smoking and smoking related deaths in Canada.

As you can see below, Tobacco is the greatest risk of death in Canada by quite a considerable amount.

The Percentage of smokers aged 15 years and older has been going down gradually over the years as shown below.

As you can see in 2002 it’s around 20% where as just 35 years ago it was close to 50%!

The number of deaths however has increased.

As you can see it’s a scary figure now, this might be due to better recording facilities in modern times, more accurate statistics or due to less pure cigarettes with all the chemicals and addictive junk manufacturers put into cigarettes nowdays making them more addictive AND more harmful.

The deaths peaked around 1995 and have started to decline again slightly.
