Maine Heart Group Plans To Oppose Smoking
The Maine Heart Association plans a public education campaign to discourage cigarette smoking. Led by Dr. Robert L. Ohler, the effort targets teenagers and high risk adults with a family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or obesity. The move follows the American Heart Association's June 8 resolution urging steps against smoking as harmful to health. Reports note higher death rates from heart attacks among middle aged heavy smokers versus non smokers.
