Q4L(Quit4Life) program exists because smoking is the leading preventable cause of serious illness and death in Canada. If teens who smoke have the opportunity to participate in cessation programs that are suitable for them, the rate of teen smoking likely will continue to decline. Health Canada is taking steps to help youth quit smoking before it becomes a lifelong habit. And the Quit4Life program has been part of the plan since 1996. 1, record 3, English, - Quit4Life

Le programme V100F (Vie100Fumer) a été créé parce que le tabagisme est la première cause évitable de maladies graves et de décès au Canada. Santé Canada prend les mesures nécessaires pour aider les jeunes à cesser de fumer avant qu'ils en fassent une habitude permanente. Le programme Vie100Fumer fait partie de ce plan depuis 1996. Si l'on propose à ces jeunes des programmes d'abandon du tabagisme qui leur conviennent, la proportion des fumeurs parmi les adolescents devrait continuer de diminuer. 1, record 3, French, - Vie100Fumer
