Ottawa mourns Non-Smoker

You probably never met Heather Crowe, but you probably saw her on TV.
She was the self-possessed, rather contained woman looking sadly into the camera on a Health Canada antismoking ad.
“My doctor told me I had a smoker’s tumour – and therefore I’m dying,- she says, explaining that she’d been a waitress for 40 years. “And I never smoked …. But the air was blue where I worked.”
And then she closes her eyes and you hear the kicker voiceover: “And I’m dying of lung cancer from second-hand smoke.”
