DOCTOR QUESTIONS.
HARM IN SMOKING
Chief Effect Is Local, Mainly
Exerted on Pharynx,
He Declares.

The use of tobacco is so general that
the effect of smoking on the human
system is question all would like to
have answered. A paper read by DR..
Wingate M. johnson before the North
Carolina State Medical Society, which
appears in the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. summarizes
his findings as follows:
Tobacco smoking apparently has no
permanent effect on the blood pressure.
There is no foundation for the pop
ular belief that smoking decreases the
weight of an individual.
1T is doubtful whether tobacco plays
major part in the etiology of angina
pectoris.
THE act of smoking, if it affects
blood pressure at all, reduces 1t tenn
porarily.
THE effect of tobacco smoking is
chiefly local, exerted principally on the
pharynx"
