Yours sincerely, (Signed) Dr.G. P. A. E.vans, Director & Medical Officer of Health. While these diseases appear In -both smokers and non-smok- ers, the more severe lung-crip- pling cases are invariably found among smokers. Emphy- sema is so closely related to smoking that it is frequently referred to by physicians as the "smokers' disease". Re, cognizing the rapid increase in these conditions and their chronic nature (emphysema is second only to heart disease as a cause of disability), it is conceivable that they will prove to be the most postly medical consequences of cigarette smok- ing. These consequences will be in terms of disability, prema- ture loss of life in the preiduct- lye years, and ifospltal and medical care. Concludes the Brief: "There is no doubt that the increasing number of people suffering from chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is an additional- factor in our increas- ing heart disease death rate." SMOKING AND HEALTH The current and entirely jus- tifiable concern over the problem of misuse of drugs can have the, diminishing in people's minds the importance of reducing cigarette smoking or, better, giye up cig- arettes altogether. In the School Health Service of Huron County Health Unit an- other programme of health education with .regard to the-h. dangers of smoking is being carried out this week and next week, but, of course, it is not only to students that such in- formation should be available, and the. main points:, from the. Brief on Smoking. and Health submitted in 1969 by the- Can- adian Medical Association to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Health Welfare and Social Affairs provide factual-and _unemotionalrbutnones the less disturbing, appraisal of the present situation and some suggestions for dealing with it. The excerpts from the Brief are as follows: 7r. The' simPle disseMination of information on the health hazards involved alone will not significan'- tly affect smoking habits. What is needed is the enforce- ment of tough. Federal Govern- ment legislation, -Says the Brief. Canadian physicians ' them- selves prove that plaint With ample access to the evidence re- lating cigarette smoking to car- diovascular and, bronchopul- monarr disease, one-third of all doctors in the country continue to smoke.- (A study published in the C.M.A.Journal, November 16, 1968 showed that though the pro- portion of doctors smoking was on the decline, 35.4'percent still smoked cigarettes regularly. This compared favourably•iVith the fact -that 65.3% of the pro- fesSion reported that they, had smoked. regularly. At that time 53.6 percent of all adult Canad- ian males had the smoking habit.) The Brief Makes it clear that in ;the view of the.Canadian me- dical profession 'there is no longer any Scientific controversy about the risk created by cigar- ette smoking. The dangers of cigarette smoking have been under almost continuous scrutiny by the C. M. A. SINCE 1959. Original concern was centred on the incidence of lung cancer in smokers. But as early as 1960, the Association's Committee on Public Health was "expressing concern about "a growing impression throughout the medical profession, though as yet (1960) poorly documented, that a relationship exists between tobacco smoking and bronchitis, bronchiectasis, emphysema and coronary disease." In 1961 the Association ex- preSsed publicly for the first time its belief that a direct relationship existed between smoking and lung cancer. The Committee on Cancer was directed to study how the phys- ician' -as an indiVidual, and the Association could effectively ed- uhate the profession and the public on the smoking/cancer link. 'The 1969 Brief geesNiich further than its predecessor. That's largely because contin- uous study of extensive scien- tific evidence in the interim his revealed much more of the debilitating nature of the stisOk- cussatied Acts pay dividends, omeriolaiiii00ftwo• ' 'INSURANCE Auto; Fire, Life ing dhabit. During the period since 1963 the Association has been- intimately involved with the matter of the cause and effect of smoking. Here's how the current Brief delineates the variety of physical damaging that cigaret- te smoking can and has caused! Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema. Lung Cancer, Over 440 Canadians died from the disease In 1967."Saf6 lice it to say that we now recognize that there is a de- finite relationship between the probability of your -dying from lung cancer and the degree of smoking exposure. The earlier one begins smoking, the. more one smokes, the more one in- hales and the longer one smokes, 'the greater the risk." Other Types of Cancer. The incidence of cancer of the mouth, throat and bladder is increased by cigarette smok- ing.. The obvious direct exposure to smoke increases the risk of death from cancer of- the mouth and throat by 500%. Heart Disease Mortality rate in the 35-54 agt group from coronary heart disease in cigarette smokers is 5-10 times higher than for the comparable age group in non- smokers. Other Conditions. While the relationship to smoking has not 'been, clearly established, there is an in- creased rate,of sinusitis, peptic and gastric ulcers, and cere- brAvascular accidents among smokers. A ,100% increase in premature birth (and the re- sulting risks to both infant and mother), among women who smoke is well documented. The Brief recognizes that there • is no easy way to, give up cigarette smoking, which is one reasion why itsrrecommend- ations stress governmental action to legislate curbs, on 'the proMotion and sale of tobacco. The Rtief disr,nisses the popular notion that the break- ing of the habit causes a greater health hazard than the habit, itself. There is no scientific' evidence to support this. 'sup- position. -The weight increase experienced by many who give up -smoking can---constitute—an obesity or personal appearance prcibleM 'in some cases. SuMmary: . Cigarette smoking has a negative effect on the quantity and quality of life. The 'average 25 year-old man who smokes two packs a day will give up 8.2 years of his life to do so. Another way; it will cost him 7.4 minutes of life for every ipgarette he lights. The cost to the community and country is also significant. Says the 'Brief: "The cost of lost productive, life and premature death, the unnecessary expendit- ures required to provide hospit- alization and medical care is staggering to the imagination." 'The Brief is'self-explanatory and detailed amplification of it is unnecessary 'and probably' would detract from' its impact: It' is important that those unwilling or unable to give up cigarettes should have periodic supervision. The inosl effective way of achiev- ing this in regard to lung cancer is by microscopic examination of sputum. This method of checking for early lung cancer (it is not helpful in detecting early signs of other diseases related to or caused by smoking) is now pro- vided by Huron County Health Unit and those interested in avail- ing themselves of -it should discuss the matter with ' their family doctor or district public - health nurse. how many shoulders has your executor?

I believe I am, one. As far as I know, I am the third generation of my' family to be absolutely rotten as far as housekeeping is concerned. My grandmother had a reputa- tion a- mile long for being a poor housekeeper. Ply mother, in fact, felt she had to be quite vigilant with my sister and me, to save us from our grand- mother's disgrace. My aunts are, like me, rea- sonably articulate women, tal- ented in, and interest in, various aspects of the arts. we' tend to be concerned with things outside of our homes. We are not slobs. We try, in our own feeble way, to keep house. Yet I doubt it either my aunts or I would be willing to sacrifice our lives to housekeeping. I usually house- keep all 'morning, and do other things in the afternoon and evening. How do I go about locating other such women? Finding out what they think has contributed to their inability to keep house? -LOUSY HOUSEKEEPER Jr. Farmers Eject DEAR L.H. - Could it be that your mother's overzealous- ness on the subject set up some internal resistance in you to a life of scrubbing and polishing? Surely organization As the secret, especially if native talents lie in other directions. The proposed article' in- trigues me. As for specimens of the L.H. variety, start with the aunts. Then find others by advertising for such contacts "for research purposes." In- volve a psychologist, too. And let us all in on what you find out. DEAR DORIS - I was. so glad to get your letter with ideas about planning our Golden Wed- ding Open House. There is. no need for me to feel ill at ease any longer. -MARRIED HALF A CENTURY DEARONG-MARRIED Glad to help. A person doesn't celebrate 50 years of wedded bliss every day :in the week.
