Non-Smoking PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., January 21, 1981 -- 27 Week Jan. 19-24 Cancer Society to conduct anti-smoking demonstration in Township public schools January 19 to 24 is Nation- al Non-Smoking Week in Canada, and as part of the campaign against the habit the Scugog Branch of the Cancer Society will conduct anti-smoking demonstra- tions in public schools throughout the Township this week. The demonstration involves a machine which 'smokes' a cigarette and illustrates on a white filter the amount of tar and nico- tine from that cigarette. While this demonstration is aimed at young people in an effort to persuade them never to start smoking, the Cancer Society strongly urges that anyone who now smokes should quit. The Society suggests that the most effective way to. ~ stop smoking is to go "cold turkey", and offers the foll- owing information and tips on how to give up the habit, once and for all. If you are a heavy smoker, you force your heart to beat approximately a million extra times a year. This is a lot of overtime duty and unnecessary stress on your whole cardiovascular system. Now is the time to make a New Year's resolut- ion to become a non-smoker. It just takes determination to break the smoking habit. All cigarette smokers are addicted to nicotine and with every cigarette smoked it becomes harder to stop. Harder, but not impossible. The Canadian Cancer Society suggests that smok- ers try to stop smoking for good. Many smokers try to cut down cigarette consumption gradually over a few weeks before stopping. But it has been found that the most successful quitters--the ones who don't ever take up smok- ing again--are those who stop abruptly. Cold turkey. Before taking that decisive step it is helpful to begin by selecting a date, perhaps a week from now, and starting a count down calendar. It will also be easier to stop completely if you make a list of what you don't like about smoking and keep adding to it. Some smokers find it helps to bet with a friend that they can quit and most tell their families and friends of their plans. Those who know you want to stop smoking can help time and again by keep- ing ashtrays, cigarettes and matches out of your way and can try to be understanding of the irritability you will feel when you first stop smoking. Once the '"'quitting day" arrives, resolve to throw away any cigarettes which you have left and to never smoke again. By changing your patterns of behaviour connected with smoking and finding a distraction when you crave a cigarette, 'you will find that you can break an old habit. It is normal to feel hung- rier than usual for the first information: few weeks after you have quit because food smells and tastes better once the nerves in your nose and mouth are no longer deadened by irri- tating smoke. It sometimes helps to drink water or juice in between meals if you have a craving for food. With time, you should no longer feel the urge to smoke and you will have the im- measureable bonus of better health that comes with being a non-smoker. Fortunately, the effects of cigarette smok- ing are reversible--a smoker who stops smoking while still in good health has a health and life expectancy similar to a non-smoker.
