They found, after experimenting with Camel cigarets over a considerable period of time, that the smoking of a Camel releases part of the sugar stored in the liver and muscles into the blood and the blood sugar concentration begins to rise rapidly, an average of 15 minutes after smoking. This effect continues for approximately half an hour, when the percentage of blood sugar again goes back to its previous level. However, the smoking of another Camel will again increase the blood...
