Mr. Speaker, we just actually renewed the federal tobacco strategy here in 2012, and we are going to continue to work on tobacco control. This is aimed to preserve the gains we have made over the past 10 years and to continue the downward trend of smoking prevalence.
As the member mentioned, the worst part of tobacco use is cancer and the horrible way it impacts upon people's lives and all that we have to deal with in losing loved ones because of the cancer caused by cigarette smoking.
It is not just cancer. We are talking about respiratory diseases and heart illness. One cigarette contains more than 4,000 chemicals. We know that 70 of those are carcinogenic, and they contribute to numerous forms of cancer. We have to make sure that does not happen.
