_______________________________ .TJ~e Ca nadianGhampion~ TueaaIaycMamt~2, ~1 999.-.7 + OUR READERS WRJTE Smoking is hard on the eyes, too Dear Editor: Being a health care professional for the past 20 years I see smokers on a regular basis. Every time I see a smoker, I thinlc of how it affects their health. 1 have seen many who have told me they tried to quit, however they seemed unable. A habit is a habit. Smokers, my heart goes out to you. I know how bard it is ta kick a habit. We must now pass bylaws ta squeeze smokers out of our fresh air environ- ment. Maybe this will help: Our atroosphere is 22 per cent oxygen (mayhe leas by now). It is vital ta our survival. It is free, for now anyway, as long as we keep it dlean. It is known, in my profession, that if you are a smoker, you are inhal- ing as many as 75 chemiàcals other than oxygen. Smokers have a tendency ta develop cataracts at a rate 50 per cent greater than non-amokers. Be infonned. You have a choice. Prevent a prohlem, and take the responsibility for your own sake, rather than wondering what happened when you end up in aur health care system.
