(TV) Keith's Quiz / Public Service Announcement

["Casey, Leo J" <Leo.J.Casey@Volpe.dot.gov>]

> .... recall all Verlaine minutiae!

Hey, 3 weeks ago, immediately after I hit my the e-mail SEND 
button (to Keith with my answers), I realized I gave the wrong 
answer to Question #1, so no freebie for me.  Q1 is so easy that 
it's hard--pretty easy to think too much and get it wrong.

Plus, TV can use whatever percentage he gets of my $15.98 for the  
store-bought copy :>)

I think the withdrawal symptoms from Heroin are much worse than 
cigs, but I bet the take-up-again rate for cigs is much higher. 

Know this will get smokers on this List miffed at me (but this 
will be my final comment from me ever on cigs):

HEALTH ANSWERS
Q: "Is there anything an ex-smoker can do to decrease the chances 
of getting lung cancer, or at least catch it early?

A:  "No, Tom, quitting is really the only way to cut the risk 
of lung cancer, said Dr. Michael Thun, who heads epidemiology 
research for the American Cancer Society.  Smoking damages lungs 
and the longer you smoke, the greater the damage, he said. 

In general, it takes six "hits," or bits of damage to DNA, to 
produce a lung cancer. With the first hit from a carcinogen, a 
lung cell begins to develop into a fast-growing patch of similar 
cells.

"If a person quits after, say, three hits, pre-cancerous "sleeper 
cells . . . are unlikely to become cancer," Thun said. But if you 
resume smoking or never quit in the first place, these "sleeper 
cells" acquire more hits and ultimately become full-blown cancers.

"As for catching lung cancer early, there is still no recommended 
screening test because a large clinical trial is still ongoing and 
won't produce results  for several years yet..."

Sure, but not all of us are blessed with Leo "The Amazing Memory Machine"
Casey's ability to recall all Verlaine minutiae!
