Most of the 56 million smokers in
this country are physically and psy-
chologically dependent on ciga-
rettes, leading some scientists to
call smoking ‘‘the worst addiction.”
The addictive nature of cigarette
smoking is one of the reasons so
many health organizations are con-
cerned about this widespread habit.
The American Heart Association is
concerned because smoking is a
risk factor for heart disease - one
that can be changed.
Scientific research suggests that
nicotine is the ingredient in ciga-
rettes most responsible for addic-
tion. Smokers absorb nicotine when
they inhale, and pass it quickly to
the brain.
Special cell formations in the
brain and muscle tissue have the
capacity to recognize and react to
nicotine when it is present in the
body. Nicotine causes a wide range
of physical reactions. Changes
occur in heart rate and skin temper:

ature, blood pressure rises, peri
pheral blood circulation slows, brain
waves change, and hormones affect-
ing the central nervous system are
released.
Immediate effects of inhaled nico-
tine are subtle. The more serious
consequences occur over long peri-
ods of time and are due to many
tobacco smoke ingredients in addi-
tion to nicotine.
Most smokers are aware of the
health consequences of smoking.
Many who try to quit become dis-
couraged by- the difficulty of the
attempt, but hundreds of thousands
have been successful. Because
smoking is so addictive, it is best
never to start.

The ‘‘Webspinners Square Dance
its completion dance for the Class of
1984.
Six couples completed the class,
which began in September 1983 and
wer taken into membership of the
club. The class members partici-
pated one evening each week
throughout the long winter in
classes designed to introduce them
to modern western square dancing.
The beginners, some of whom had
done eastern farmer dancing, were
introduced to the many and varied
calls used in modern western
square dancing. They soon realized
they had a lot of hard work ahead of
them; but they continued to learn
and practice, an finally completed
the first step into an activity filled
with fun and good fellowship.
Competing the program were:
Don and Helen Carey of Shaver-
town; Joe Fanti, Exeter; Mary
Pambianco, West Pittston; Lloyd
and Charlotte Kingston of Tunkhan-
nock; George and Joan Rihan,
Dallas; Sherman and Helen Sartin,
Wilkes-Barre; Lee and Marilyn
Smith, Shavertown. They will con-
tinue to dance during the summer
with the “Webspinners’” and utilize
their newly acquired knowledge.
Club caller, Andy Glowach,
announced that the summer pro-
gram for the months of June and
July will be conducted at the Shav-
ertown United Methodist Church in
the social room in the basement.
With the Trucksville Church Educa-
tional Building undergoing construc-
tion work, the Shavertown: Church
has extended the hand of fellowship
to the club.
The July dance schedule is as
follows: July 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30th.
Should the Trucksville facilities be
available sooner than expected, the
program will return to its home
base at the Trucksville United
Methodist Church Educational
Building.
Square dancing, in its various
programs, has been voted the
national folk ‘dance of our country.
This is for a specific period of time
only; hopefully it will become the
full time folk dance of our land. The
interest in this form of dancing is
increasing each year, as people of
all ages join in the fun and fellow-
ship provided.
