One Year................... $6.00 Six Months.................. $4.00 Smoke Less, Live Longer A report compiled by a team of medical researchers and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association warns that increased smoking on the part of American women has caused a soaring increase in fatal heart attacks. The study found that although only 8 percent of all heart attack victims were women in the 1949-59 era, they now suffer about 20 percent of all massive, death-dealing heart attacks. And the researchers blame cigarette-smoking for the sharply increased rate. When the medical research team probed the cause of death among heart-attack victims, it was found that an overwehlming 62 percent of them had been heavy smokers; an additional 28 percent of the heart attack victims were light to moderate smokers, and only 19 percent, whose heart attacks could be traced to other causes, were even light smokers. Perhaps the most startling discovery was that the heart attack victims who died young (average age of 48) were the heavy smokers. Coronaries mowed down the light to moderate smokers at an average age of 55; but the non-smokers did not suffer a heart attack until age 67. The evidence indicates that women who smoke heavily are chopping 19 years from their life span. Moral to the survey: if you wish to live longer, smoke less.
