...Kids who smoke like to think that they're immortal--or at least that if they stop in time, their lungs will heal. But a report in last week's Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggests early smoking may trigger changes in DNA that put young smokers at higher risk for cancer even if they later quit. Researchers studying lung-cancer patients found that those with the worst genetic damage were not those who smoked longest but those who started youngest. What's more, the earlier they started, the more severe the damage...
Senior Garett Vail, usually the first man in the Crimson rotation entered the ninth inning throwing smoke. He blew a fastball by Kardas and froze O'Keefe on a breaking ball for the first two outs. Woodfork made a leaping catch of a line drive to end the ballgame...

Then Mike Edwards, the assembly...
...SMOKING GUN If lung cancer, heart disease and stroke aren't enough to scare you off smoking, maybe this will. A study of 4,000 Danish men shows that mothers who smoke a pack or more a day are twice as likely to produce criminally violent sons. There even appears to be a dose response: those who smoked fewer cigarettes had less violent boys. Why the correlation? No one is sure, but chemicals in smoke may somehow damage the fetal brain...
