Smoking Doesn't Just Kill Your
Appetite...It Kills You Too!

You may get a loss of appetite when you start smoking, but it's important to remember that smoking will effect you in other ways too...

ut a cigarette kills my appetite, I here you say. "I don't feel so hungry when I smoke, and so I don't eat as much. Without cigarettes, I'll eat more." The fact is that the cigarette isn't killing your appetite-but maybe it's killing you.

Some of the ingredients in those cigarettes are harsh irritants to all parts of the digestive tract, and they can interfere with normal digestive juices and even aggravate stomach ulcers.

It may help to "kill your appetite for cigarettes" to know that Doctor A. C. Ivey of the University of Illinois found that a person who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day for ten years inhales eight quarts of tar in that time-the same kind of tars that Doctors Wynder and Graham injected in laboratory rats, thereby producing cancer.

Let's be reasonable about this. Appetite is the habit of hunger-it isn't hunger itself. Appetite is stimulated by seeing or thinking about food. Unless you substitute the habit of appetite for the habit of smoking, there is no reason why your appetite will be stimulated when you stop smoking.

And if you should have a weight problem, you will find there are better appetite depressants than cigarettes. Depressants that:

• Do not over-stimulate movement of the bowels (cigarettes often do).
  
  
• Don't cause heartburn, nausea, and abdominal pain (cigarettes frequently do).
  
  
• Don't increase the death rate from ulcers in the stomach and duodenum (as cigarettes apparently do).
