This site, which was approved by the Government of Ontario, was totally redone and is now more interesting than ever! It has been entirely designed in FLASH, has videos, interactive interfaces to discover as you move your cursor about on the page and relevant information on cigarettes and how to stop smoking…and why.

It’s a site that is really fun, off the beaten path and worth visiting. The free spaces on the “Stupid Map” suggest that other sections are forthcoming.
