nerve cells are unable to function, then the part of the body
controlled by those nerves cannot function either. For
example, a stroke may produce difficulty in speaking, inability
to walk, or loss of memory.
The deadly risk of cigarettes
among teens
If you think the dangers of tobacco and teenage smoking are
overblown (Heart Health, Winter 1991), consider these recent
estimates from the Canadian Council on Smoking and Health:
^Ninety-five per cent of smokers start smoking before the
age of 18.
MFor every 100,000 smokers who are now 15 years old (half
of them boys and half girls), tobacco eventually will kill at
least 18,000.
^Compare that with the number of estimated future deaths
among the same 100,000 young Canadians caused by car
accidents (1,200), murders (130), and abuse of drugs other
than tobacco (10).
Mln other words, tobacco eventually will account for 135 times
more future deaths than will murder. And tobacco will kill an
estimated 1,800 times more than will abuse of other drugs.
The Council's estimates were based on data from the
Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, of Health and Welfare
Canada.
PP Wait an hour after you
run out of cigarettes
before buying more.
Do a package "count
down" whenever you
throw out an empty one:
say "in 30 (29-28-or)
packages I will have this
thing licked."
Don't carry matches or a
lighter, so you have to
bother someone else in
order to smoke.
PP Don't keep your
cigarettes handy-put
them in a drawer or coat
pocket so you must get
up every time you want
one. This nuisance factor
alone will inhibit your
smoking enough to
reduce it by one-third.
Carry whole cloves or
sugarless gum where you
normally carry your
cigarettes.
