Alter, M.D. NO GOOD TOBACCO "Oh, don't smoke cigarettes. I just have a cigar now and then." Ever heard that line from a smoker or used it yourself? How about the claim, "I only smoke the lowtar, low-nicotine brands, never the bad stuff." The truth is that there is no "good stuff" where tobacco is concerned. The nicotine found in all tobacco products is as addicting as heroin or cocaine. Evidence shows that choosing other forms of tobacco, whether socalled "low-tar" products, smokeless tobacco or cigars, does nothing to reduce the health risks of smoking.

In fact, each of these products carries its own additonal risk, such as that of mouth and throat cancer. In fact, why not take the challenge and find out the present and possible long-term effects of all your habits with regards to nicotine, alcohol, nutrition, exercise, work and recreation. Call my office at 303-1551 to schedule a full physical exam, and we'll discuss health and lifestyle issues that may be impacting your quality of life. My office is located at 219 S. Leonard Lane.
