Don’t let weight fears ©
keep you from quitting

AVE ‘YOU thought
about quitting smok-
ing? Putting it off be-
cause you're scared

you'll gain weight?
You may want to keep in mind
that even if you grain weight, it’s
less health tisk than the smoking

is.
And it’s likely you'll lose any
weight gain within a. short time

ariyways.

The evidence. is mounting for

reasons to quit. Now you need
not only consider your own
health, you must also consider the
health of those you live and work
with.

A major study in the U.S. has
shown that non-smoking women
who live with smokers had a 30
per cent higher chance of getting
lung cancer.

And children who live with
smokers have more respiratory
disorders like asthma, bronchitis,
and colds.

The message here is that if you
can’t quit, at least smoke outside,

But the best sclution is to quit.
Smokers who quit usually gain a
few pounds, but for very
scientific reasons - not because of

“Tack of will-power.

-NUTRITION NOTES” §

GERRY KASTEN

On average,
smokers gain only about 2-3
pounds.

But for most people, this weight
is usually shed after a smoke-free
year. [f you’re a dieter as well as
a smoker though, you’re more
likely to gain about 12 pounds,

It seems that dieters fain more
because they have traditionally
used smoking to help control er-
ralic eating habits, and because
dicting wreaks havoc with their
metabolism.

you're likely to end up.
Why Do quitters gain? The
nicotine in cigarettes increases

- your metabolic rate, which keeps

your weight unnaturally low for
your genetic make-up, When you
quit, the extra calories you’re no
longer burning may be stored as
fat.

Smoking dulls the taste buds
and masks the flavour of foods.
Quitting takes you back into the
wonderful world of taste, and this
can initially result in overeating.

Quitters are also under the
stress of nicotine withdrawal. For

- some, stress leads to overeating,

especially since it’s a way to keep
their idle hands and mouth busy.

How can quitters lose?

‘Bat three meals a day. Skip-
ping meals will lead to overeat-
ing. Having regular meals will
help support your metabolism.
Focus on vegetables, fruits, and
grains. Have just enough milk
and meat (or alternates) for
health.

Plan healthy snacks. Keep
them low in fat, and high in

Don’t do anything else while
you're eating! Studies show you
eat more when you're disiracied
by something else.

Be active! Activity boosts
your lowered metabolism, makes
you feel better about yourself,
lowers stress, and will keep you
busy! If activity is difficult for
you, get advice from your doctor
or a fitness professional at your
local Rec Centre, Things will get
easier as your lungs get healthier.

Cut back on caffeine.
Smokers metabolize caffeine
mor quickly than non-smokers.
Two cups of coffee will feel. like
5 cups within days of kicking the ‘
habit. So on tap of nicotine with-
drawal, you'll be on a caffeine
high. Tuis will make it harder for
you to stick to your resolve.

Expect a little weight gain,
This is normal.

Good luck!

Facts about KCP

Number 14 in a series answering the questions most often raised
with Alcan about the Kemano Completion Project

Why was Alcan’s KCP agreement with the federal
fisheries department under investigation by the ©
RCMP?

When we first heard rumours that such an investigation had taken place, we
were astounded. A future protection plan for the Nechako River had been
developed and unanimously agreed to by fisheries scientists representing all
of the parties (the federal and provincial governments and Alcan) with an
independent observer/facilitator present. That person was David Strangway,
president of the University of British Columbia.

The report of the scientific group and the subsequent work of the Nechako
Fisheries Conservation Program are all public knowledge. We couldn't
imagine what had been investigated by the RCMP or why.

Until Alcan obtained the file under the Access to Information Act, we knew
only what we had read in the newspapers; no company employee was ever
approached i in the course of the investigation. The RCMP file revealed that
the investigation had been undertaken in 1991 at the request of Jim Fulton
who was then the Member of Parliament for Skeena. Mr. Fulton's request was
based on his assertion that there had been a muzzling of expert witnesses and
political interference in connection with the 1987 agreement.

The RCMP’s investigating officer stated in his final report that "the
allegations made by Mr, Fulton were proven to be unfounded, and therefore
the file is concluded here.” He also makes it clear that Mr. Fulton agreed with
the contents of the report and “expressed satisfaction with the action taken."

Occasionally investigations conclude that "insufficient evidence" was found
to justify further action. The investigator in this case stated that he found no
evidence to support Mr, Fulton’s claims. Case closed.

: Accusations of wrongdoing make juicy gossip, but there is no substance to
them as part of the background to KCP. With the start of technical hearings
on the project this month, we hope the way has been cleared for discussion of

genuine issues.
