The Brussels Post, 1972-03-29, Page 9It's Our Third
Cigarette smoke is more than
an annoyance to nonsmokers. It
can cause physiological distress
in healthy individuals as well as
in those with asthma and other
respiratory illnesses. New re-
search indicates, in fact, that
the nonsmoker is affected by
'cigarette smoke in much the
same damaging way as is the
smoker himself.
Recent experiMents at Texas
A & M University and elsewhere
indicate that even 30 minutes in
a smoke-filled environment sig-
nificantly increases the non-
smoker's heart rate, blood pres-
sure, and the amount of carbon
monoxide in his blood.
A team of researchers at
the University of Cincinnati
Medical Center reported that
smoke drifting from the burning
end of cigarettes, cigars, and
pipes carries with it more cad-
mium, a metal poisonous to man,
than the Smoke inhaled by the
smoker through the unlit end of
the cigarette. Large doses
of cadmium can ' cause
acute poisoning in man. In lower
doses it has been implicated in
hypertension, chronic bronchitis,
and emphysema.
Still another research team
at Wayne State University in
Detroit found that acute illnesses,
mostly respiratory, were twice
as prevalent among young
children whose parents smoked at
home than among those whose
parents never smoked in the
home. Some of the differences
were attributed to the negative
effects 'of surrounding smoke.
Your local tubec:ulosis and
respiratory disease association
urges nonsmokers to speak up
and say i ,Yes, I do mind if you
smoke." Defend yourself. It's
a matter of life and breath.
Yours.

Nonsmokers are learning how
to defend themselves.
Remember just a few years
ago when airlines passed out
courtesy cigarettes? No longer.
Today they're just as busy setting
up non-smoking areas for com-
plaining customers.
Your
own home-
less
than rent!
Now, when you're
making out your
income tax return —
worrying about budgets
— this is the time to
decide to stop paying
rent. Get that dream
home you want. Own
it for less than you pay
for rent and live in
your own home while
its value rises through
the years. See about
a mortgage — today —
