Happiness Through Health
Cigarettes Classified As
More Addictive Than Heroin?
l>> uuo McUarrin
Cigarette smoking is more
addictive than heroin, accord
ing to Dr Robert Dupont,
director of the National Insti
tute of Drug Abuse
In fact, he says cigarette
smoking is so addictive that
two-thirds of all people who
have ever smoked cigarettes
are still addicted and smoking
every day That's a higher
rate of addiction than heroin
or alcohol or barbiturates or
any other drug, he-savs.
Cigarette smoking is addic
tive; not just habituating as
smokers have always been
assured in the past. The dist
inction is crucial. It means
that to quit, a smoker not only
has to break a habit, but must
also overcome withdrawal
symptoms that propel him
back to smoking unless he is
powertuiiy motivated to stop
Joseph A Califano, Jr.. Se
cretary of Health. Education
and Welfare, recently an
nounced a major initiative
aimed at discouraging Ameri
cans from smoking. In a me
morandum to all 11EW emplo
yees. he stated, in part:
"The enormous toll of death
and disability related to the
smoking of tobacco products
has established it as the lead
ing preventable cause of death
in the United States today. In
1977 alone, over 300.000 people
died prematurely from can
cer. heart disease, and lung
disease attributable to smok
ing Scientific evidence now
indicates definitively that
smoking is even more harmful
than we thought it was 14
years ago when the Surgeon
General's Report on Smoking
and Health was issued."
Galliano's new policy for
HEW employees prohibits
smoking in all HEW confer
ence rooms, auditoriums,
classrooms, libraries, eleva
lors and shuttle vehicles And
to the extent that it is possible,
efforts will be made to assign
smokers and nonsmokers to
separate and physically dis
tinct work places
Cigarette smoking is addic
tive But that doesn't mean
that it's hopeless Smokers
can quit One-third of them
have stopped But tobacco use
should be treated "as an ad
dictive disorder." advises Dr
Dupont The kind of therapies
effective in alcoholism and
drug abuse primarily self
help groups w ith close suppor
live relationships on a one-to
one basis - can work lor those
who really want to shake the
hold smoking has on their
lives
NEW SPECIAL USE ΚΟΚ
ASP 1 Kl.Ν
The chances of getting blood
clots, one of the most common
complications of surger> . can
be greatly reduced by mode
rate doses of aspirin, a new
study indicates The Harvard
Medical School showed that
after hip surgery, men who
took lour aspirin tablets a day
had only a third as many cases
as expected of dislodged blood
clots floating through their
veins
"This is the first rigorous,
scientific documentation that
aspirin does provide protec
tion against the development
of blood clots in a high risk
group of patients." Dr Wil
liam H. Harris, who directed
the study, said.
•iuen clots frequently form
in the veins of surgery pa
tients who art· over age -Κι
They can be fatal it they lodge
tn the lungs, and about -Γ.υυυ
people die from this in the
I'nited States each year
However, the study showed
that the aspirin treatment
works only lor men Among
women, the risk remains the
same, whether or not they
look aspirin The doctors
could not explain this differ
ence Doctors elsewhere are
trying to find out whether
aspirin also prevents the for
mation ut blood clots in arte
ries These clots can lead to
