The proof is not yet in. But recent evidence p r e ­ sented b yD r.E rnestL.W yn der, president of the American Health Foundation, suggests that low levels of ta r— the sub­ stance most associated with lung cancer— may slightly re­ duce a sm oker's risk of de­ veloping that disease. But the slightly reduced ris k is ap­ parent only in smokers who have used filtered cigarettes with low levels of tar fo r at least 13 years The research was published in a September issue of the Journal of the American Medi­ cal Association. Experiments with smoking dogs who developed lung cancer and emphysema show sim ila r effects. Cigarettes with filte r tips that reduce the tar content caused less extensive lung damage than nonfilered cig a - rettes. Nicotine, however, is the compound most smokers get hooked on. Nicotine constricts the small arte ries, cuts down the flow of blood through the body, tr iggers a discharge of sugar from the liv e r into the bloodstream. Researchers also suspect that the hormonal upset in the blood caused by nicotine may be detrim ental to normal functioning. Lower doses of nicotine pro­ bably cause lessdistress to the body. But people hooked on nico­ tine tend to smoke more ciga­ rettes when they switch to ones with low levels of nicotine. So they wipe out any benefits. Tars and nicotine, however ar e only two of the dangerous in­ gredients in cigarette smoke. Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen-car tying capacity of the blood. Chemical sea I led phenols fir s t stop and then destroy the small hairlike mechanisms, c ilia , that keep the lungs clean and ward off infection. I here are no safe cigarettes- regardless of the levels ofta rs and nicotine. To find out more about ways to quit smoking, con­ tact your local tuberculosis and respiratory disease association.
