Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada

Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada (PSC) is a national health organization, founded in 1985 as a registered charity. We are a unique organization of Canadian physicians who share one goal: the reduction of tobacco-caused illness through reduced smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke.

PSC provides leadership for the medical profession on tobacco issues. With almost 1,500 members and representation in each region and province of Canada, we are a national voice on tobacco and health.

PSC is funded primarily by grants and contributions, by membership fees and occasionally through donations from corporations.

We work in collaboration with governments, with the Canadian Medical Association and other non-governmental health agencies. PSC is a member of the Canadian Council on Smoking and Health, of the Steering Committee of Health Canada's National Strategy to Reduce Tobacco Use and an active player in the National Campaign for Action on Tobacco.

In 1994 PSC was awarded the Canadian Cardiovascular Society's Dr. Harold N. Segall Award of Merit for our contribution to the prevention of cardiovascular disease in Canada.
