The OR ARE.
You're with
with
behalf of the government of the United States
and in recognition of the valiant service rendered by the the I present you the
flag. May God bless and comfort
and your brothers affects are all gathered together in my office.
If you feel up to coming here.
These are some of generous personal effects were found is close. Later.
Why don't you give them some of the many years.
Perhaps they can use it very well thank you.
I wonder if I'm right because after harmony.
I'd like to thank him for all he did for you.
Certainly I believe he's done if you this morning. I read.
You see if you can.
OK Dr Hyman had been seven miles from one thing.
It hardly seems possible that Jim's gun that I've been expecting
that these last months. Still when it finally does happen you know you just.
I know even
when you expect it comes with such fun out of him seemed so close to me.
Although there were only four years' difference in our ages.
And I always felt more like a mother than that sister to see me
and we will never know. Yes dot com Hello Mrs Manston I had to wait
and see you doctor. I want to thank you for all you did.
Well there really wasn't much we could do to see
when carcinoma for cancer of the lung progresses as far as I didn't Jim's case.
There isn't much we can do.
I just don't understand to see my brother waste away like that
when I can something be done about lung cancer. But you give me a cigarette.
Please. You won't find it on the death certificate.
But one vital factor in Jim's that was that.
When I see people like your brother Jim dying of lung cancer.
I get so angry I could run up to those men
and women with cigarettes in amounts I'm a scream at them. Stop smoking.
You're fools you're killing yourselves. Oh I'm sorry.
It's just that when I see men
and women smoking themselves into the graves long before their time.
I wish I were anything but a doctor.
How can you help people like that when they won't even help themselves.
I don't know doctors.
But I know one thing I'm grateful to you for caring to thank you thank you.
Thank you very much for that.
Goodbye.
Kiss.
That was the strongest and I smoking speech I've ever. About three P.M.
Seffner the man in the same ring on
that film right there would like what I have to say well this calls for strong
measures we could use a crusade against smoking.
And you're just the man to lead it. OK Andy. You ask for what is right.
I lose a few more friends. So far from.
My pain I.
I know that they got out of Dodge sayable is nothing but mice today.
I know you're expecting some kind of a variety show.
But apparently they couldn't make it. I am here to fill it.
I'm going to be kind of serious today.
And I want to level with us straight from the show.
About something that's been bothering me for a long time.
If you could have been with me the other day in the operating room.
When Jim that day.
I think you'd understand why I feel a strongly about this is I do.
You all know Jim. Even though he was here only three months.
Now some of you are going to die of the same way. Jim die.
And there will be a thing we can do for you except bury.
Unless you start doing something for yourselves. Today and I don't get me wrong.
You're not all going to die of lung cancer.
But by smoking heavily you're cutting your lives shorter by an average of about
nine years.
NEC let me have one of your cigarettes where you place your doc only don't forget
to give it back. Don't worry for the time I got through with a cigarette.
You may not want to back. Now let's take the cigarette.
And put it in our smoking machine. And see what happens after.
While we're waiting for the machine to work.
I want you men to watch you felt.
All right. Low you start the projector.
There are over thirty harmful substances in cigarette smoke including alkaloids
arsenic nicotine out of the hives
and other many of these are deadly poison of special significance is benzo
firing which is one of the known cancer producing agents.
As the tobacco burns it reaches temperatures at high a sixteen hundred degrees
Fahrenheit and this process causes physical
and chemical changes in the nicotine cars and other substances.
Most of these products are gaseous at high temperatures
and they become part of the smoke that is carried into the respiratory passages
and it's hard to the mucous membrane
and the tissue foremost among these substances is carbon monoxide which is the
killer in automobile exults
quite in order to illustrate the harmful effects of even small amounts of carbon
monoxide on the body.
Let's take a look at the breeding cycle
when you bring you clean air oxygen enters the lungs where it finds its way to the
red car possibles of the bloodstream the heart then pumps the blood to the body's
cells which in turn utilize the oxygen as you smoke carbon monoxide the
poisonous gas we have mentioned is attracted to the red carpet just as the oxygen
was only more strongly these carbon monoxide molecules take over some
of the red blood car puzzles decreasing the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen
to the tissue in other words they prevent the oxygen print reaching the red blood
cells. Thereby reducing the oxygen transportation by five to fifteen percent.
This is one of the reasons why the smoker cannot run this past year as far as they
could if they did.
Smoke
another bad actor in cigarettes is nicotine.
Nicotine is an alkaline and works upon the nerve centers on the right
that regulates the heartbeat
and breathing in addition Nicotine causes the small blood vessels to get smaller
or constrict there is substantial evidence
that continuous smoking causes the small blood vessels to lose their last test city
and this increases the possibility of heart trouble and blood vessel disease
that heavy smoker smokes the equivalent of a second read over six feet long every
day or one about the length of a column.
Thanks.
I'm one of the real press in smoking
or the cancer is known as a carcinogen the cancer producing agents found in the
tires condensed out of the tobacco smoke
and deposited into the Brumfield tubes leading to the lungs
and with the person's constant smoking day after day the carcinogens build up of my
people from the wrong field viewed the carcinogens
move into the air to the lungs where they begin to antagonize death a medically the
cells of the air.
Do you
do know it is not known why the cells change and become abnormal.
But they begin to grow and affect those cells around them until.
Victim binds himself with lung cancer a nonsmoker has about one chance in two
hundred seventy of developing this disease while a man who continues to smoke two
packs a day as only about one chance in ten
and ninety five percent of those afflicted will eventually die from the cancer.
And so the evil cycle goes on and on.
Our cigarettes gone now let's see what we've gathered from.
Keep in mind what was said about nicotine. It's a poison deadly force.
That ranks with cyanide.
This residue is made up of nicotine
and tar a portion of which gets into your lungs. Every time you smoke a cigarette.
You smoke a pack and a half of cigarettes a day for a year
and a full court of these poisons will be poured into your body.
And what does it do.
Let's see what it does to a to a mouse.
My fella. Now this to you.
Contains pure nicotine. And I'm going to give this little fellow one drop.
Fortunately man is many times larger than a mouse for
that amount of nicotine would kill him just like it kills them ups.
Now our bodies have the ability to increase tolerance to these substances.
But the harmful effect contains.
By have a choice smoking
and by the constant dousing of the respiratory passages with these poisons the body
doesn't have much of a chance to function properly.
For instance we know the time for action is definitely impaired.
And this increases the danger of heart disease.
Through smoking and stomach ulcers are aggravated. Healing is delayed.
And the ulcers may become malignant.
Current research indicates that many other organs and tissues of the body.
Are adversely affected by the use of tobacco.
And of course you've just seen what an important part smoking plays in the causing
of lung cancer. Yes Dot.
I read that there really hasn't been an increase in lung
that not only are markedly diagnosis.
Now we'll admit
that some lung cancer may have been poorly diagnosed in the past.
But in the year one hundred twelve there were only two hundred seventy six known
cases of lung cancer in the whole United States.
Today it kills more than thirty five thousand Americans every year.
Come.
Now the statistics
that show the interesting parallel between the increase in tobacco consumption.
And the increase in lung cancer. Notice the similarity in the two.
It's interesting to note that lung cancer used to be a man's does a.
Now with women smoking heavily.
Their death rate from this affliction is rapidly approaching that of men.
What about filter. There's a party
that knows the time you came from eating the right thing. Well. Fillers might help.
Except for two things the added cigarette length means
that the smoker usually smokes the cigarette. Nearly down to the filler.
And thus he gets all of the nicotine and the tar
that he would normally throw away with a longer cigarette butt. And secondly.
No one has yet produced a filter that removes all of the poison from the smoke.
And yet keeps the taste that the smoker demands.
Yes dark eyed about all them of cognizance not not our lives don't show any signs
of cancer or anything else. As far as cancer is concerned.
Not everyone's going to get it. There appears to be susceptibility to it.
And there's the time factor involved cancer usually strikes in the fifty's.
Of course the problem is you don't know whether you're one of those people who will
get cancer and tell you got or it's got to you
and then it may be too late.
As for those old codgers you imagine they may have been less sensitive to tobacco
poison. Trouble is no one knows where there is sensitive
or not smoking is sort of like playing Russian roulette.
Or tickle Dr Ochsner tobacco is a loaded pistol and time pulls the trigger.
Now man the American Cancer Society recently made a study based upon the smoking
habits of a hundred eighty thousand American men.
And concluded that smokers of two or more packs of cigarettes per day.
Have a death from. Rate on but twenty three percent higher than nonsmokers.
In other words.
By the time of the median age of sixty nine is reaching for every ten nonsmokers
who have died twenty two heavy smokers will have day
and seventeen light smokers will have done.
Now this means the average heavy smoker. Two packs a day.
Well dire on the age of fifty eight years.
While the average nonsmoker will last until he's sixty nine.
Now the value of this report lies in its scope. It's THEIR us.
At the end questionable scientific accuracy upon which it is based. For example.
They differ a from heart disease and this group of one hundred eighty thousand men.
Was twice as high as indicated by these headstones among smokers as
nonsmokers. And get this.
They rate of deaths from lung cancer was twenty times higher than among nonsmokers.
Now Man these findings are being sent to your doctor.
And to every private then public health service in this country.
Not only our own government.
But other governments are concerned about the rising incidence in lung cancer
and they are publishing warnings to cigarette smokers about the risks they are
taking when they smoke. For example.
The governments of Britain and Australia.
Recently engaged in a poster campaign against the use of tobacco.
And in Harlem Sweden and I strip. The governments of the local school of our.
These are actively advising their young people not to take up smoking.
Now friends government agencies
and doctors can advise point of the way.
But after all what you do with your own life is up to you now you have the facts.
So start to think for yourself get smart.
Tobacco is a sneaky.
Sure it may be hard to quit.
But you can if you really want to know most of you can have a second
chance if you'll stop smoking today. And I promise you if you do.
Your food will taste but. Your breath will be sweet.
Your eyes will be clear and your whole body will function better.
In short you will live long and you will enjoy life more.
A lot of fellows.
Thanks a lot
and I talk to him and what's on your mind.
I want you to know
that I can't really enjoy everything you said.
You can take the cigarettes and use them to kill nice or something. In any neck.
Do you really mean this really have convinced me like that's wonderful.
That's a very intelligent decision to know about
you Don't forget the back was a little bit this
time pulls the trigger.
