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.

let us know.
Very truly yours,
