Page 8 The Quaker Friday March 14, 1997 Stop it! You're killing me. by Connie Morris

It is known that smoking is not good for anyone's health and that is why cigarette companies must have a warning label on every pack of cigarettes. Unfortunately they do not emphasize what yqµ are doing to the health of other people that are in the same room . The truth about smoking is that you are not only hurting yourself, but everyone around you as well. Secondhand smoke alone contains 4, 700 chemicals. Some of the most harmful include residual chemicals, cardiac poison, cancer causing agents, industrial solvents, formaldehyde, arsenic, cyanide, radio active compounds, benzene, and carbon monoxide. The harmful chemicals have had a number of effects on humans. The US Environmen­ tal Protection Agency declared secondhand smoke "a known human carcinogen." The truth of the matter is that secondhand smoke kills! In one year, carcinogens caused 3,000 deaths in non-smokers, just from lung cancer alone. Another 37,000 people died from smoke-related heart disease, in one year. Secondhand smoke kills 53,000 people each year. Secondhand smoke has also caused 26,000 cases of asthma, and 20% of the annual attacks, in children. There are about 15,000 hospitalizations of children each year from second hand smoke. People seem to think just because the non smoker doesn't choose to put the cigarette to his or her mouth that they are safe, Unfortunately that is not the case. Some studies even show second-hand smoke is worse then smoking the cigarette itself. Scientists have found that second-hand smoke causes respiratory diseases, bronchitis, lung can­ cer, asthma, emphysema, heart diseases, cancer, birth defects and is linked to brain tumors and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). As we find out how much secondhand smoke does affect people we should try to find a way to stop cigarette, pipe, and cigar smoking in all public places, not to punish the smokers or deny them from their rights, but to keep the non smokers alive and safe from their chemicals. Some of the restaurants and workplaces in Ohio have voluntarily became smoke free. Most states have already passed a law restricting smoking in public places. So if a smoker decides to smoke in public or around children they should realize that they are harming not only themselves, but everyone around them as well. Which path to take? by Jennifer Bell

Some researchers report that if your friends smoke, chances are that you will too. The University of Cali­ fornia reported that teenagers who have friends of both sexes who smokes were 13 times more likely to have smoked in the last 30 days compared to teens whodon't smoke. An article in the Vindicator also stated that chil­ dren of smoking parents are twice as likely to smoke than children in non-smoking families. It is a fact, that until your 18 , it is illegal to buy cigarettes or other tobacco products. So, how do minors get their hands on these products? A recent Scho­ lastic Update poll says 96% of minors can easily buy cigarettes. Most of them listed vending machines as the primary source. They also rely on convenience stores and gas stations that don't check ID's. That is why Presi­ dent Clinton proposed the ban on cigarette vending ma­ chines and made it a requirement that the buyer show proof of age when purchasing tobacco products. He is also trying to limit ads aimed at teenagers. Now that all of the statistics on teen and smok­ ing have been stated, let us take a look at just how pow­ erful nicotine can be.

Every school has rivalries, including the Leetonia Bears and the Columbiana Clippers, the Boardman Spartans and the Austintown Fitch Falcons, the Beaver Local Beavers and the East Liverpool Potters, and West Branch and Louis­ ville. Strong rivalries are also evident with college teams such as Ohio State and Michigan and Florida and Florida State. A rival team is a team that is almost equally matched to the opposing team, and a game that many fans come to. Assistant football coach Mr. Mehno describes a rivalry as, "a team you can have tough, fair competition with with mutual respect." . Salem's two biggest rivalries are Canfield and the West Branch. When all Salem teams play against these two teams, they have strong attendance from fans of both teams. Many students agree that this past year's football and basketball games against West Branch and Canfield were, as senior Tim Lucas says, "the most memorable."

The Salem football team played against West Branch at Reilly Stadium in the fall for their first game of their season. It was one of the best games played all year, but unfortunately, the Warriors came out on top by one touchdown. Also, in girls and boys soccer, Canfield is a big rival and one of the most important games of their seasons. The boys' varsity basketball team hosted West Branch during their regular season. The game was full of cheers from both sides of the crowd. Salem came out with the win which was revenge from losing the football game. The girls' varsity basketball team played Canfield twice during their season and won both times. They also played state-bound West Branch in a Holiday Classic held at Salem and only lost by one point. All of these games were well-attended and spirited. Rival games at Salem High School always post higher attendance records than other regular season games. The atmosphere at a rival game is great! There are chants and cheers thrown from each team's crowd. There are so many people there that everyone has to stand because the game is impossible to be seen if one is sit­ ting. Excitement is felt in the air and every time each team scores or makes a good play the crowd explodes like crazy. Rival games are very exciting, and also make a great sports story. Some say that Salem has no school spirit, but at the games against these rivals, the proud spirit is easy to see. Our school spirit may come from the pep rallies held before the big games. But school spirit or not, rival games are just generally more fun.
