Here's a teen smoking quiz from the "St. Petersburg Times" in Florida by pediatrician Bruce Epstein, M.D. This was posted recently on one of my tobacco news sites. True or false: 1. Tobacco use can lead to illegal drug use in teens. 2. Most teens that smoke feel that they can quit any time they choose. 3. Kids who smoke do not light up until they are well into high school. 4. Youthful cigarette smokers experience health problems only when they are older. 5. Most teen§.gain w cighuf they are able to quit smoking. 6. It is the "cool kids" who smoke. •The answers: --„.„ t —- v y r - a ’ »r j °t!T\/oA 1. True. For many teenagers, mcotrntrisa ''gtftr&ay' drug involiveil" .« in the development of other drug dependencies. Nicotine is a drug, make no mistake about it, and once the habit of giving drugs to oneself is established beginning to use any other drug is often an easier decision. 2. True. Children underestimate the likelihood that they will become addicted to tobacco. Our current state of research suggests that nicotine is much more addictive than some drugs we consider very dangerous. 3. False. Research has shown that more than 21 percent of eighth graders have used cigarettes and more than four percent of eighth graders report smoking half a pack of cigarettes or more each day. So if you wait until your child reaches middle school to begin a discussion about tobacco use, it may already be too late. 4. False. Kids who smoke experience changes in the lungs and reduced lung growth, and they risk not achieving normal lung function as an adult. Kids who smoke have significant health problems, including cough and phlegm production, decreased physical fitness and an unfavorable lipid profile. 5. False. Two-thirds of adolescents who quit smoking stay the same weight or even lose some. 6. False. Kids who smoke have lower self-images. The same is true for smokeless tobacco. Daily use of tobacco is highest among school dropouts. The Surgeon General's Report found that students with the highest grades are less likely to smoke than those with the ' lowest grades. Most athletes know that cigarette smoke will reduce their performance on the playing field. I just know the fifth and sixth-graders at Heppner Elementary School got 100 percent on these questions.

The club also talked about what kind of feed everybody is using this year, and if anyone is still short on pigs. The club voted to buy five new trees for landscaping at the fairgrounds. The brand board, to be displayed in the Wilkinson Arena, was approved by the club. Leader Bill Jepsen also reminded members that they need to weigh their pigs in at the 4-H livestock weigh-in on June 3 at the fairgrounds, to be eligible to show their pig at the fair.
