Smokers Hear More Bad News More bad news for smokers can be found in the seventh annual report on smoking and health: there is additional evidence linking tobacco to lung cancer, unsuccessful pregnancies and coronary heart disease. : One study showed a direct relationship between lung cancer deaths and the number of cigarettes smoked daily. For those who smoke less than ten cigarettes a day, the lung cancer death rate was 2.7 times that of non-smokers. For those who smoke more than two packs a day, the lung cancer death rate was 24.8 times that of non-smokers. In another study, babies of smoking mothers were found to have a death risk that was 60 percent higher than the risk to infants of non-smoking mothers. Many studies have shown that smokers have an increased risk of coronary heart diseases and this year’s report provides new statistical evidence. Autopsy findings on more than 1,000 men have indicated that the small arteries in the heart have thicker walls among smokers than they do among non- smokers. The thickened walls decrease the blood supply to the heart. Band Sponsors’ The March meeting of the Lake Lehman Band Sponsors Association will be held March 6 instead of March 21.
