WHITBY FREE PRESS.............668.6111 Canadians Refuse to Butt Out TORONTO - In a recent statement, the U.S. Public Health Service said that cigarette smoking is the most widespread example of drug dependence in the United States and causes more illness and death than all other drugs. Every year approxi- mately 30,000 deaths in Canada are attributed to the effects of smok- ing. And, despite the health warnings, cigar- ette consumption in Canada is still in- creasing. According to Health and Welfare Canada, 33 per cent of adult Canadians, aged 15 and over, smoke. Total yearly consump- tion in Canada alone is now approximately 64.5 billion cigarettes. In its statement the health service went on to say that smokers who quit may have a greater tendency to relapse - even after many years - than other drug users. In a description of the psychological effects of smoking, the health ser- vice said smokers spend more time "administer- ing" their habit than do users of any other drug. "In an 18-hour waking day, a two-pack-a-day smoker spends from three to four hours with a cigarette in mouth, hand or ash tray, takes about 400 puffs for the day and inhales up to 1,000 milligrams of tar," the agency said. The health service said even light smokers face significantly higher health risks than non- smokers. It said men who smoke less than half a pack a day are 50 per cent more likely to die from a heart attack than their counterparts who have never smoked and nearly, five times as likely to die from lung cancer. Hevy smokers (two packs a day) have three times the risk of death from heart disease of nonsmokers and nearly 20 times the risk of death from lung cancer, the health service said. Withdrawal Symptoms As with any drug de- pendence smokers often experience withdrawal symptoms as they try to quit. Regular smokers become addicted to their cigarettes and rely on them to maintain an optimal state of well- being. The severity of the withdrawal symp- toms in smokers who try to stop smoking is dependent on the degree to which they are addic- ted. A Swedish psycho- logist found that one of the best indicators of levels of addiction was when smokers smoked their first cigarette of the day. Those who lit- up before getting out of bed generally had the severest withdrawal symptoms. When a smoker quits smoking, he or she is in- terrupting the flow of nicotine demanded by the body. The craving for nicotine reaches a peak-within the first 24 hours following initial cessation and then gradually tapers over a seven-day period. It begins to rise again and for many smokers it will often persist for up to eight weeks. The nico- tine craving usually lasts for only three to five minutes, but it is recurring. It is least in- sistent in the morning but reaches a peak in the evening. When smokers first give up cigarettes, their heart rate slows, their blood pressure rises and brain waves register changes. In heavily ad- dicted smokers, body temperature drops; in less addicted smokers, it rises. Studies show that all quitters do less well in co-ordination tests, including driving, than they did while smoking. Quitters also report, and experiments verify, that their moods swing widelv. They are easily irritated and angered. Other withdrawal symp- toms experienced can include: anxiety, diffi- culty in concentrating, restlessness, headache, drowsiness and gastro- intestinal disturbances. Try To Quit? Follow These Tips: "Giving up smoking is the easiest tbing Iever did. I ought to know.. I've done it a thousand times." Mark Twain's famous lines describes the experience of many smokers. Four out of five who try to quit - fail. During the Canadian Cancer Society's annual fund-raising drive, the importance of quitting will be brought to the at- tention of Canadian smokers. Just as there's more than one reason for smoking, they will learn that there is also more than one way to quit. important to all successful smoking ces- sation efforts, though, is the application of a few basic principles: * DESIRE - Wanting to quit. This is the single most important factor since the withdrawal symptoms and the cra- ving to smoke can often last for several months. * SEE YOUR FAMI- LY DOCTOR. Your family. physician can help you develop your own smoking cessation program. A new nicotine - containing gum, Nicorette, is avail- able only on prescrip- tion as an aid for smokers wanting to quit. * SUBSTITUTIONS. Take up a hobby that requires concentration or increased activity, eg. jogging, gardening, painting. Focus your mind on more pleasant activities during times when you may be tempt- ed to smoke.
