Ads ignore dangers of smoking7DwNe wSffe
Cigarette ads usually feature unspoiled,
open country with healthy, beautiful smokers.
Yet any doctor or nurse can tell you that the
REAL smoking country is the hospital ward.
Following are some recent smoking facts that
you'll never see depicted in the ads:
—Smoking-related disorders are estimated to
cause some 325,000 premature deaths each
year.
—Cigarettes contain one of the most power
ful cancer-causing agents--benzopyrene.
--One recent study showed that the Cauca
sian smokers in the 40 to 49 age groups are
likely to be as prominently wrinkled as non
smokers 20 years older.
--Cigarette smoke creates an environment
640 times more polluted than considered safe
in industrial plants.
--Between 2,000 to 4,000 different chemical
compounds have been identified in tobacco
—ln 2,000 experiments testing the effect of
smoking on mental responses, all cases showed
smoking lowered mental efficiency from 10 to
23 percent.
--Computation shows that the average
heavy smoker--two or more packs a day--loses
an average of 8.3 years of his life. This means
a loss of almost six minutes per cigarette
smoked. In other words, a minute of life for a
minute of smoking.
—ln 1979 it was estimated that more than
100,000 Americans had lung cancer. In 1980
another 117,000 were e ed to 'oin them.
Although the election was expected to be a
cliff hanger, Reagan handily sweeped the
country, piling up far more electoral votes
than even his supporters had predicted.
Inflation weighed heavily on the minds of
the voters. A high percentage of those
surveyed who felt inflation was a major pro
blem voted for Reagan.
John Anderson turned out not to be the
"spoiler" of Carter's election chances, as
claimed by many. If all of Anderson's votes
were added to Carter's popular vote, Reagan
would still have won by a substantial margin.

Smoking is responsible for about 83 percent of
lung cancers in men and 43 percent in women.

contraceptives increase their risk of heart at
tack 12 times over those who do neither.

death risk" in stillbirths and in deaths occurr
ing before I year of age, is 60 percent higher
for babies of smoking mothers.

deficiencies in physical growth, intellectual
development and-or emotional development.

they account for a total of 20 percent of all
cancers.

chronic bronchitis and emphysema cases.

War •and the Vietnam War combined.
