Smoking anHealth
By Dr. W. H. Cruickshank, Medical
Director, in The slue da#1
There b a tradition that credits
the Chinese with using tobacco
long before the ' discovery of Am-
erica. Tobacco, however, was in-
troduced into Europe from Am-
erica where Columbus learned of
its use from the Indians., Sir
Walter Raleigh was the first man
of rank to smoke tobacco in Eng-
land.
Tobacco was originally used al-
most .entirely as a pipe smoke.
The Spanish of the West Indies
then introduced the. cigar, where-
as the. Large-scale production.. of
cigarettes was promoted originally
in the United States shortly before
the turn of the century.
The health implications of smok-
ing have from time to . time re-
ceived „a good deal of attention,.
but the evidence against the use
of tobacco in any form has in the
past never been sufficient to inter-
fere with the continuous increase
in the production and consump-
tion of pipe tobacco, cigars and
particularly \ cigarettes.
Smoking is ap adult custom and
it may be fair to assume that most
young people start to smoke in
order to provide tangible evidence
to their friends of their increasing
independence and maturity. The°
habit is continued and enforced by
the actual effects of smoking on
the body.
Nicotine from tobacco smoke
that is inhaled acts as .a, stimulant
It produces a temporary rise . In
the blood pressure, increases the
pulse, reduces the flow.. of blood
to the limbs bx constricting the
Blood vessels and liberates some
extra sugar into the blood stream.
These stimulating effects, plus the
enjoyable social implications of
smoking, tend to fix the habit in
many -probably most of those who
smoke for any length of time.
In the Medical Department we
are frequently asked "What are the
effects- of smoking on health?" The
common effects on health may be
summarized' as follows:
(1) Any smoke is an irritant. Heavy
smoking does irritate ' the
mouth, nose, throat and, upper
part of the respiratory, tract.
This produces symptoms such
as the familia? "smoker's
cough."
(2) Smoke. is produced .by combus-
tion. The combustion in
smoking is usually incomplete.
When any combustion is in-
complete, carbon monoxide is
formed. Heavy smoking, there-
fore, often produces headache
which may be due to the
carbon monoxide', which the
body absorbs while smoking.
This is purely *'temporary ef-
fect which is cured simply by
exposure to fresh air.
(3) Nicotine produces in ordinary
people :t temporary increase
in blood pressure. The in-
crease is not marked and pos-
sibly is • of little ; significance
to health. Some individuals
on,the other hand appear to be
sensitive or allergic to tobacco
smoke, and have rather mark-
, ed and prolonged pulse and
blood pressure changes when
they smoke or are exposed to
tobacco smoke in any concen-
tration.
(4) Nicotine tends • to reduce the
blood flow to the limbs and
may snake the hands and feet
somewhat cold and sometimes
moist. In the healthy individ-
ual this is probably of no pa: -
ticular concern. Certain dis-
eases of the blood vessels may
be greately aggravated by
smoking of any type and in-
dividuals with such diseases
must eliminate smoking corn-'
pletely.
(5) Smoking reduces the appetite.
For_those who are under-
weight this is not good. Many
people who tend to eat to
excess find that if they smoke
they have less craving for
food.
(6) We have all heard a great deal
about "tobacco heart." There,
is no very direct evidence that
smoking adversely affects the
normal heart. It is true that
excessive smoking, just like
excessive use of coffee, some-
times produces irregularities
of the heart which may be
temporarily _ alarming but
which produce no actual heart
damage.
(7) .Tobacco when in contact" with
the skin will produce skin
eruption in sensitive individ-
uals.
(8) Smoking and cancer. In the
last 25 years in many parts
of the world the incidence of
lung cancer has increased ra-
ther sharply. It is now an
important cause of death. In
this connection the following
facts are significant: -
(a) Lung cancer occurs very
seldom in a male patient
Who has not been at •least a
moderately heavy smoker
for many years.
(b) The distribution of lung
- cancer- in finale and female
patients --it is more corn•
mon in men -roughly cor-
responds to the ratio of
long-term smoking habits
of the two sexes.
(c)`There has been a rough
parallel between the in-
crease in this form of can-
cer and the tremendous in •
crease in the sale of cigar-
ettes.
(d) Non-smokers rarely de-
velop- Iung cancer.
Although these • statistical
studies are as yet inconclusive
in some respects, it would now
a tobe
harmful effects of tobacco. •
Those of us, And I include .my-
self, who have enjoyed much
pleaSure trent smoking over' the
yeers I think will now have to
stop and review this new evidence.
Lions Club Gives
Refrigerator To
Hospital Nursery
iN
IR.OJ(PIRIMAN
Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital officially. received a re-
frigerator for the nursery, a gift
of the Lions Club of Goderich, at
a meeting of the hospital board last
Thursday night.
The large refrigerator, which has
been in use for the past couple of
weeks, was required by the hospit-
al in order to have the nursery
meet requirelnents of the Depart-
ment of Health.
Making the presentation, Arnold
McConnell, a director of the club,
noted that the Lions were pleased
to. be able to assist the hospital in
any way 'possible.
He 'said he.thoped that in future
the hospital board would feel free
to ask the club to be of service.
Mr. McConnell was introduced by
George Parsons, president of the
club.
Thanks were extended by R. C.
Hays, Q.C., chairman of the board,
who said that the club could be
assured that the refrigerator had
been a very great need for some
time. "This is a gift," he said
"that is in line with what the
Lions have done _in the past for
children."
Mr. Parsons, who is also chair-
man of the hospital board's pro-
perty committee, said that the club
was happy to have presented the
gift.
pp ear quite safe to
conclude that. smoking is an
important factor in the pro-
duction of lung cancer:
(9) Thereis increasing eviden e.
which ggests that heavy
smoking tends, to reduce the
life span.
Most of the adverse eff t
ec s men-
tioned can be attributed only to.
heavy smoking and heavy smoking
may be roughly defined as the
equivalent of 20 cigarettes or more
pet day. Occasional smoking and
light smoking, i.e. less than the
equivalent of 10 cigarettes a day,
may have an adverse effect only
on the health of those who are these prizes will be allotted to any
particularly susceptible to the one contestant. •
Grain Is Damaged
By Chicory Weed
Chicory (Cichorium Intybus L),
known also as Wild Succoryis, is
a very persistent perennial . from
which no part of Ontario is entire-
ly free.
• Grain, hay and pasture ,are suf-
fering a great deal of damage from
Chicory which has a long tap root
that draws on the moisture and
fertility of the soil, thus compet-
ing with. fieldcrops for food, and
also making the plant hard to
eradicate.
.Chicory is easily identified. The
leaves, which are for the most
part spread out on the ground,
resemble to some extent the crown
leaves of the dandelion plant, but
are longer and more irregular in
shape. The almost leafless stems
leave many branches covered with
shov bright blue flowers. Thee
flowers, open only during the
morning hours, produce approxim-
ately 3,000 seeds per plant.
Repeated deep cultivation and
the use of row crops helps in the
control of the weed. - Cutting hay
early, . before the Chicory seeds
have set, also assists in its control
but new flowers appear where, the
stem has been cut.
24-D used in amounts up to eight
ounces per acre will ,41essen the
danger of seed setting and will
stunt the growth of ° the plant. In
hay and pasture fields where clov-
ers are not a problem, the use of
16 ounces per acre will control
the weal, but it may take several
applications to completely eradi-
cate it. Chicory must be actively
growing -at the time 2-4-D is ap-
plied.
Since Chicory seed is found in
