The individual, if a child or" adolescent, can and should. re- _ solve never to start smoking cigarettes. If he or she is an adult and cannot break with to- bacco completely then a Bras - tic cut should be made in cig- •arette consumption or a less . dangerous form of tobacco in- dulgence such as a pipe or cig- ars should be adopted.
