NEW S DEADLINE Mondays at 5 p.m. Karen's Komer By Karen Masshoff ______ Items of Health - Tobacco v e w tlon Kick Butts Day is today, Wednesday, April 3, and is for anyone who is interested in quitting smoking, particularly junior high/high school students and young adults. Think about your school and the kids you see every day. Now think about the fact that roughly one out of three of those kids who start smoking will die prematurely from a tobacco-related illness. This is the kind of information that the tobacco companies’ advertising and marketing won’t tell you. Some general facts about smoking: - Smoking kills more than 400,000 Americans each year - more than alcohol, cocaine, crack, heroin, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fires and AIDS combined. - Each day roughly 5,000 kids (under 18) try smoking for the first time, and more than 2,000 kids become new regular, daily smokers. - Smokers lose an average of 12 years of life due to their habit. - The chemical nicotine found in cigarettes and other tobacco products is an addictive drug, which is why it is so hard for people to quit using tobacco once they start. Nicotine is also a deadly poison used in many bug sprays. It is so potent that one drop (70 mg) in its liquid form will kill an average adult. Evidence indicates that tobacco companies manipulate the nicotine level in cigarettes to hook smokers. Disgusting but true: - Lung cancer, throat cancer, heart disease, stroke and emphysema are just some of the painful, life-threatening diseases linked with smoking. Smoking also is associated with cancers o f the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas, cervix, kidney and bladder. - Smoking limits the amount of oxygen in the blood, reducing your stamina for sports and other physical activities. - Smoking turns your teeth and fingernails yellow, makes your hair, clothes and breath smell gross and causes premature wrinkling of your skin. Youth smoking rates: - Almost 90 percent of adults who have ever been regular smokers began smoking at or before age 18. • - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report smoking rates for students in grades 9-12 increased from 27.5 percent in 1991 to 34.8 percent in 1999. For State specific tobacco facts visit the Centers for D isease Control and P revention’s Web site at www.cdec.gov/nccdphp/osh/data.htm or www.tobaccofreekids.org. Tobacco advertising and marketing to kids: - The tobacco industry spends over $8.2 billion a year, more than $22.5 million a day, on advertising and marketing to attract new smokers and to keep people puffing away. - A study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that teens are more likely to be influenced to smoke by cigarette advertising than they are by peer pressure. - A rapid and unprecedented increase in the smoking initiation rate of adolescent girls subsequent to the launch in the late 1960s of women’s cigarette brands like Virginia Slims was documented in a 1994 article in the Journal of the American Medical. It’s something to think about. For more information about the effects of smoking and/or how to quit, contact me at the Morrow County Health Department, 676-5421.

Freedom is how we got the nation and therefore, the flag. It is very important to all Americans and the flag is too. Victory earned us the flag. If we didn’t have victory in the Revolutionary War we might not have the nation and, of course, flag. Our nation is a peace-loving nation. Even at this time of war we are seeking peace. The flag is the result of having our nation. Hard work got us the flag and the whole nation. Betsy Ross did hard work to make the first flag. The Continental Army worked hard to win the Revolutionary War. The country's leaders work hard to protect citizens. The citizens work hard every day on all sorts of things. Those are all very important meanings but not the most important. The most important is... US. By Krystal Nairns. eighth grade, Heppner Jr./Sr. High School There is no better symbol of our country's values and traditions than the flag of the United States of America. Our flag stands for freedom, justice, unity, and respect. On September 11, a terrible tragedy struck our nation and now there are flags waving in the air everywhere to show that our people stand for liberty and justice for all. With bright red. white and blue colors, and its stars and stripes, the American Flag is a symbol of our nation's freedom. It is known around the world as the “stars and stripes flag." The stars stand for the 50 states of our union, and the stripes represent not only the 13 original colonies, but also the purity of our nation. So when you look up and see the American Flag, remember that it is the flag of our country, standing for freedom, justice, unity and respect.
