In keeping with the season of year-end test taking at school, how
about the rest of us joining in the "fun." 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 rest of us? Well

Burgers were cooked by advisor
Lynn. Harmonson. Salad, potato
chips, pop and cake were served.
About 100 people enjoyed the
meal. This was the FFA
Chapter's last main event of the
year.
The Bamyarders 4-H Club held
their sixth meeting of the club
year. There were 17 members
present. The older club members
gave presentations to the younger
members on the parts of a pig,
the different breeds of swine,
cuts of meat and notching pigs'
ears.
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. The club will hold their
next meeting then.
