Intro: The students are lending their support to Kitchener-based Smokers Anonymous, and its Weedless Wednesday campaign to help long-time tobacco addicts kick the habit. Not starting, the students say, is easier than trying to quit.
Smokers Anonymous will be holding a non-smoking open house tonight beginning at 7 p.m. at the Bethany Missionary Church at 160 Lancaster St. E. in Kitchener -- with a goal of convincing even the most addicted smokers that they can give it up.
"I'm out there helping those people who've been smoking for 40 or 50 years, who are so addicted they think they'll never be able to quit," says Caroline Parks, who founded Smokers Anonymous in 1985. "I want to show them they can quit for life."
