there are three elements in
smoking pleasure.
The first is the effect of MIC
otine, a very complex drug
which increases the pulse rate
and the activity of the invol-
untary nervous system and
stimulates saliva. 1t is not sus-
pected as an agent in produc-
ing lung cancer.
The second is tar, which
gives the taste which smokers
like. The tar is, unfortunately
the mass of hydrocarbons
which contain the cancer-pro-
ducing element.
The third is the psychology
cal factor which comes from
the satisfaction of holding
something in your hands and
of watching the smoke curl up.
