TOBACCO FREE SPORTS

HEY! Are YOU addicted to Tobacco-Free Sports, aka: TFS? This awesome program is a world wide initiative all about promoting tobacco-free lifestyles through sport and fitness. It was first born in the United States of America by the Centre of Disease Control. and then adopted by WHO. Who?! The World Health Organization and it’s the United Nations’ specialized agency for health.

BC jumped on the bandwagon and as a result Vancouver Coastal Health sends out the positive message with wicked posters, lively events, and of course: free stuff!!! Now, you’re probably pondering about those sweet posters: just click here for the hockey poster, with a player from the Vancouver Giants, the baseball one, from the Vancouver Canadians, and a football one from the BC Lions.
