536.0. "Weight Watchers magazine has gone Smoke Free!" by COOKIE::WILCOX (Database Systems/West) Wed Dec 13 1989 08:57

Just got my issue of WW magazine and their editorial section says they
will no longer accept cigarette advertising!  I think this is GREAT!
If you think so, too, please take time to write a letter to them and
give them your support.  I'm sure this was a difficult decision, as 
cigarette advertising no doubt generates many $$ for them.

536.1smoking related to weight gainCNTROL::JENNISONWed Dec 13 1989 09:4314
    
    	Thought this might be a good place to mention this.
    
    	Both Cooking Light Magazine and American Fitness (? - AAFA's
   	Magazine) have mini-articles on smoking actually contributing
    	to weight gain.  I just skimmed the article, but the gist
    	of it was that smoking is believed to hormonally affect the
    	individual, causing them to store fat in certain areas.
    
    	If I get a chance, I'll bring in the articles.

536.2Proper ProgramSALEM::ALLEN_DMon Dec 18 1989 09:269
    That is true I have read the samething quite a while ago in a health
    mag.and it also said to the effect that the smoking robbed the body
    of the vitiam C that it needed to regenerate itself.Don't forget
    to get into a program that rebuilds the muscel tissue as you lose
    the fat for if not than the removal of fat will leave an excess
    amount of skin to be tighten up in toneing it to new muscel tissue. So
    to complete the program eating properly is very important as is
    the taking off the weight. Best OF Health
