...Surgeon General's report. Based on a review of more than 2,000 research studies made in the past three years, the report repeats that cigarette tars can cause lung cancer; it depressingly documents further evidence that the weed can bring on peptic ulcers, aortic aneurysm, cancer of the larynx, mouth, pharynx, esophagus and bladder. A two-pack-a-day smoker aged 55 to 64, says the report, has 34 times more chance of dying of lung cancer than a nonsmoker. But an equally grave danger may be coronary heart disease caused by the massive doses of nicotine...

Worse still, the splitting of the arterial walls extended into parts of four branch arteries-the two renals, supplying both kidneys; the mesenteric, supplying much of the intestines; and the celiac, supplying the stomach, liver and spleen. Using a graft with six connections, Dr. DeBakey...
