Prepare the beef roast in a crock pot,
set on low with salt and pepper. Cook on
low setting overnight.
Cut the roast into cubes and return it
to the crock pot. Add the cream of mush-
room soup.
In a medium-high skillet, melt a table-
spoon of butter. Add the minced onion and
sauté until almost transparent. Add the
fresh mushrooms and sauté lightly until
heated through. Add the can of beef broth
and bring to a boil. Thicken this mixture
as if for gravy. When this has simmered
for a couple of minutes, pour it into the
meat mixture in the crock pot. Add the
sour cream, salt and pepper to taste.
You can pour this mixture over
noodles, rice or potatoes.

Facts about different forms of smoking and their dangers to your health
From the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention
1. what are the health effects of
smoking kreteks (clove cigarettes)?
Kreteks (pronounced kree-techs)
are cigarettes imported from Indonesia
that contain tobacco, cloves and other
additives. Kreteks are sometimes called
“clove cigarettes.” Kreteks deliver more
nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar than
conventional cigarettes.
Although no studies on the long-
term health effects of kreteks have been
conducted in the United States, research
in Indonesia shows that regular kretek
smokers have 13 to 20 times the risk for
abnormal lung function compared with
nonsmokers.

2. what are the health effects of
smoking bidis?
Bidis (bee-dees) are small, thin hand-
rolled cigarettes imported primarily from
India and other Southeast Asian countries.

These cigarettes can be flavored (e.g.,
chocolate, cherry and mango) or unfla-
vored. They have higher concentrations
of nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide
than conventional cigarettes sold in the
United States.
No research studies on the health
effects of bidis have been conducted in
the United States. However, research
studies from India indicate that bidi
smoking increases the risk for cancers of
the mouth, lung, stomach and esophagus.
These studies also show that bidi smoking
is associated with a high risk for coronary
heart disease and heart attack and an even
higher risk for chronic bronchitis.

3. what are the health effects of
smoking cigars?
People who smoke cigars, particu-
larly those who inhale, are at increased
risk for respiratory problems, including
emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigar
smoking also increases the risk of death
from several types of cancer, including
cancers of the lung, lip, tongue, mouth,
throat, esophagus (the tube connecting
the mouth to the stomach) and larynx
(voice box).
As with cigarettes, people exposed
to secondhand smoke from cigars also
are at risk for adverse health effects.
Cigar smoke generally contains the same

chemicals found in cigarette smoke, but
in higher concentrations.

4. what ingredients are found in
cigars?
Like cigarettes and smokeless
tobacco, cigars contain nicotine, an
addictive drug found naturally in tobacco.
If a cigar smoker inhales, the nicotine is
absorbed rapidly in the lungs. If a cigar
smoker does not inhale, the nicotine is
absorbed more slowly through the mucous
membranes in the mouth.
Unlike cigarettes and smokeless
tobacco products, cigars typically do
not have additives included as flavoring
agents. However, in addition to nicotine,
cigars contain compounds found in all
processed tobacco. Some of these com-
pounds are found in the green tobacco
leaf; others are formed when the tobacco
is cured, fermented or smoked. For exam-
ple, cigar tobacco has a high concentration
of nitrogen compounds. During fermenta-
tion and smoking, these compounds give
off several tobacco-specific nitrosamines
(TSNAs), which are potent cancer-
causing agents. In fact, TSNA levels
found in cigar smoke are much higher
than those found in cigarette smoke.
Additionally, smoke from a cigar
contains many of the same toxins found
in environmental tobacco smoke (sec-
ondhand smoke) from cigarettes. These
elements include ammonia, carbon mon-
oxide, benzene and hydrogen cyanide.

5. what ingredients are found in
cigarettes?
Nicotine is an addictive drug found
naturally in tobacco. Other chemicals
in tobacco plants may come from fertil-
izers or insecticides used in the growing
process or from contaminants in air, soil
or water. Some chemicals are added when
tobacco is cured; others are added in the
manufacturing process.
