Tobacco
Effects
BY DIR. Logan CIendening

the greatest change in blood
pressure was only Is points and
the average was s points.
This would seem 10 Indicate
that tobacco was not as bad an
influence on high blood pressure
as might be expected and. in
fact, the high blood pressure pa
tlents do not show as much
change as the normal patients
without high blood pressure.
1t is valuable 10 note that the
temperature of the skin and the
toes changed considerably in all
patients after smoking.
THIS should be applied 10 the
l. condition known as Burgers
disease.
Burgers disease is an inflam-
nation Of the blood vessels Of
the eNtremlties - usually the
toeS--as A result of which the
inflammatory eXudate and clot-
ting Of blood often cause a
closing OF the blood vessels with
consequential discomfort.
1t never has been suggested
that tobacco causes Burgers
disease because a number Of
cases have been found in people
who never have used tobacco.
But there is no question that
once the condition is established,
smoking makes IL worse
The most successful treatment
for Burgers disease is to apply
heat 10 the eXtremeties and by
various foot exercises to increase
the circulation in the toes.
1t can be seen that # to-
bacco reduces the temperature
OF the toes-probably by Great
ing spaSm of the vessels
there is good reason why tobacco
does harm in this condition.
