“I feel like a canary in the coal mine for hospitality workers,” says Heather Crowe, a 40-year veteran of waiting tables in bars and restaurants.
Ms. Crowe has never smoked a day in her life, yet she has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer caused by workplace exposure to second-hand smoke. She gained national media attention last fall when an Ottawa court ordered the Ontario Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to accept her claim. She now is the focus of a Health Canada campaign to educate on the dangers of second-hand smoke.
