"Quit smoking blues" reaches epidemic proportions Traditionally, January lst is a time when people review the past year and set goals for the New Year. In- creasingly; Canadians pledge to stop smoking and, in doing so, find themselves facing the 'Quit Smoking Blues.' Police Beat Statistics Canada's most recent study reports that 37 percent of all Canadian smokers tried to quit in 1981. With so many peo- ple trying to quit, it's not surprising that the 'Quit Smoking Blues' have reached epidemic proportions. The condition is characterized by excessive anxiety, edginess, ir- ritability, sleeplessness and fear of weight gain. For all those suffering from the 'Quit Smoking Blues', take heart.

Look at the bottom line If you stopped to analyze how much smoking costs, you would be surprised. A package of 20 cigarettes costs approximately $1.90, and if you smoked approx- imately one pack a day, you could expect to spend $13.30 each week. Over the year, that amounts to $691.60 and means you smoked 7300 cigarettes! This doesn't take into ac- count tax hikes or increas- ed consumption on your part. The bottom line is that smoking one package of _cigarettes a day for the rest of your life will cost you at least $700 a year. Over the course of a 40 or 50 year smoking habit, that amounts to $28,000 to $35,000 gone up in smoke! To beat the 'Quit Smok- ing Blues', think about what you will do with near- ly $700 in newly-found disposable income. Go on a trip? Buy yourself an ex- pensive present? Pay off bills? Go with the odds The tyupical smoker's lament, 'I'd quit smoking tomorrow but I'm afraid I'll gain weight," is one of the most often cited reasons for not quitting. In fact, studies indicate that among persons who give up smok- ing, only 33 percent gain weight while another third actually lose weight because they feel better and exercise more. The re- maining third maintain the same weight. In other words, if you are concerned about weight gain as a result of quitting, the odds are two to one against gaining weight as a result of giving up smok- ing. And more important- ly, you are just as likely to lose weight as a conse- quence of quitting. Increased physical ac- tivity; keeping healthy, low-calorie food substitutes nearby and keeping your hands busy are just a few of the things you can do to help control your weight while you fight the 'Quit Smoking Blues.' Smoking cessation treatments and products Sometimes the sheer willpower required to quit 'cold turkey' is not enough to make you stop smoking. It's not a sign of weakness to seek help in coping with the physical withdrawal symptoms associated with smoking cessation. Today, many sophisticated techniques are available to help people quit. They include hyp- ~ nosis, shock treatment, ac- cupuncture and rapid smoking. However, authorities generally agree that none of these have achieved long-term success. : Today, most researchers agree that physicians must treat the whole patient, help them understand and "continued on page § LADY'S CURLING Congratulations to our lady curlers, who represented the Terrace Bay Ladies Curling Club, for their excellent showing at The Ladies' Northwestern Curling Playdowns in Nipigon, January 16th to 19th.
