Letter: Thanks to the voters of Ada

Letters to the Editor may be sent to [email protected].

Thanks to the voters of Ada who supported me at the polls this month and thanks to my opponent who allowed it to be a civil and honest campaign on both sides. 

I plan to continue my position as the mayor of Ada working with the Council of the Village of Ada, our employees and others. We depend and rely on the amazing and talented people who work for the Village of Ada managing our water and sewer plants, our streets, our finances, our police and our employees.  We are indeed fortunate to have qualified people doing a spectacular job keeping the Village of Ada progressing, financially stable and safe. 

I am honored to be involved in all of this.

David Retter, Mayor of Ada

Weekend Doctor: Risks of tobacco use

By Hannah Evans, PA-C, Physician Assistant
Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of Northwest Ohio

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States. There are more than 16 million Americans living with a disease caused by smoking. Cigarettes contain several ingredients and, when burned, create smoke that contains thousands of chemicals, some of which are known cancer-causing agents. Those who smoke are at risk of developing disease and dying from smoking-related illnesses. 

Potential Risks of Tobacco Use
Smoking can cause harm to nearly every organ of the body. Regardless of one’s age, gender, race, or ethnicity, tobacco use can increase the risk of premature death. Cardiovascular (heart) disease, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are the three major causes of smoking-related death. There are 12 different cancers linked to tobacco use, including but not limited to lung cancer, colon and rectum cancer, and mouth and throat cancer. Other health consequences from smoking include poor reproductive health and decreased immune function, as well as increased risk of developing cataracts, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, and periodontal disease.
