SMOKING: A BURNING ISSUE
Lung Specialist Answers Questions
About Smoking and Lung Diseases
By Gordon M. Meade, M.D.
Director of Medical education
National Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease
Association
Q. Is it too late to stop smoking
if you’ve smoked for live
years or more?
A. No matter how long you've
smoked, some of the harm
ful effects of smoking begin
to reverse themselves the
minute you stop smoking.
Q. Just what does cigarette
smoke do to the lungs?
A. For one thing, it paralyzes
the cilia, the litile hairlike
structures that sw'eep the
lungs clean and help ward
off infections. The smoke
first slows, then stops, and
eventually destroys the cilia.
It irritates the tissues of the
lung and eventually destroys
some of them or makes them
become cancerous.
Q. Can cigarette smoking di
rectly cause lung disease?
A. Absolutely. Cigarette smok
ing is the major cause of
chronic bronchitis and lung
cancer. Recent research also
indicates it is a cause of em
physema—at least it is cer
tainly a contributing factor.
Q. Is it true that there are
harmful effects from smok
ing just one cigarette?
A. There are measurable effects
even after a few puffs. In
haling hot smoke immediate
ly upsets the proper balance
of blood and air in your
lungs, increases your heart
beat, and lowers the temper
ature of your skin.
Q. Do a smoker’s symptoms get
worse the more he smokes?
A. Studies show that people who
smoked over two packs a
day had five times the bron
chitis rate of people who
smoked less than one-half
pack a day. In general, the
more you smoke the worse
your symptoms get.
Q. If someone already has a
lung disease, is it dangerous
to continue smoking?
A. Very dangerous indeed. The
risk of early death from bron
chitis and emphysema is six
times greater for those who
smoke. It is ten times greater
from lung cancer.
Q. Smoking can actually shorten
your life?
A. Yes. The rate of early death
from all causes, in fact,
ranges from 40 to 120 per
cent higher for smokers than
nonsmokers — depending on
the amount smoked daily.
Although the 1970 football season at Newberry College
