ine question ot smoking has been brought to the fore at this time by a new warning that goes far beyond anything said previously. The Public Health Service now claims that there is a direct cause-and-effect link between cigarette smoking and heart disease. It declares that there is strong evidence that heavy smoking contributes to or accelerates the development of coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States.
It'warns that people in the 25 to 35 age group who smoke more than two packs a day face a shortening of life of about eight years. Even the light smoker can expect an appreciable diminution of his normal life span, it states.
As to the cost of this pleasant pasttime, it adds up to a sizeable amount on an annual basis.
Residents of Rappahannock County spent $154,000 during the past year for cigarettes, or about $52 per smoker, it is estimated.
