Quarter of Bayonne, New Jersey hooked on smokingBayonne, New Jersey a city that has aimed to preserve its 1950s-era small-town charm, is gripped by a habit from that era that health experts would rather was history.
Cigarette smoking is still a big problem in the Peninsula City, with nearly 25 percent of residents saying they light up regularly - a higher percentage than most New Jersey communities with similar demographics, according to MEDSTAT, a private healthcare information provider based in Michigan that conducted the survey in conjunction with the Bayonne Medical Center.
It's also a higher percentage of smokers than there are in the state and in the country, the study found.
The study's findings correlate to the higher rate of heart attacks and strokes that the BMC sees as compared to peer communities, said Gene Greenan, executive vice president of corporate affairs at the hospital.
According to the study, about 21 percent of people who live in communities with similar demographics are smokers.
The one-in-four smoking rate in Bayonne also stands in contrast to the 21.4 percent of adults nationwide that smoke, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, National Institute of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, and the 21.1 percent of New Jersey adults who smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So why do so many people smoke here?
"I think they start earlier," said resident Sandy Mack, who started when she was 12.
Mack, who has tried to quit more than once, said she thinks Bayonne's small-town feel increases the pressure to smoke because everybody knows what everybody else is doing.
" It's more cool to do it than not to do it," said Mack, reiterating the reasoning that led her to begin what has become a lifelong habit.
"They do what they want to do," said Jay Patel, who works at Bayonne Cigars, one of the many stores in town that sells cigarettes, cigars, and smoking paraphernalia.
Patel says he has 40 to 45 fewer daily customers because of the new 55-cent state cigarette tax, which raised the tax on cigarettes to $2.05 per pack - the highest in the nation.
"Actually, I give some customers advice: don't smoke too much," he said.
If you put off smoking until you're 20, you probably won't ever start: only one in 10 people begins smoking after age 19, said Patrick Reynolds, grandson of the founder of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.
Reynolds established the Foundation for a Smoke Free America after he saw his father and oldest brother die of smoking-related diseases.
"Once you try it either you don't like it or you get addicted," said Sean Baran, 16, a student at Bayonne High School in New Jersey. Baran said his mother still smokes and his father used to - but quit after his aunt died from a smoking-related cancer.
Two other Bayonne High students, one who recently graduated, said they started smoking when they were barely teenagers because of peer pressure.
"I just wanted to be cool," said Danielle Rimmer, 18.
Almost half of adult former smokers were able to quit - some 44 million Americans - as of 2000, according to Tara Peters, director of media relations at the American Cancer Society in central New Jersey. She said millions more have tried to quit, but failed.
Nicotine, one of the 4,000 chemicals found in cigarettes, is as addictive as cocaine and heroin, according to former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop.
Most smokers know that the habit will eventually do them in, as it does 1,200 Americans every day.
Respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pneumonia are caused or exacerbated by smoking, which also weakens the immune system, said Mary Scullin, community educator at the Bayonne Medical Center.
And smoking isn't only unhealthy for the smoker. Second-hand smoke can cause cancer and can aggravate conditions like asthma in non-smokers, according to a 1993 study by the Environmental Protection Agency.
For smokers looking to kick their habit, there are a lot of ways to get help.
Signing up for any kind of anti-smoking program could make this the last time you quit, said Reynolds, who claims 95 percent of smokers who attempt to quit on their own wind up back on tobacco.
"It's important the person quitting be highly motivated," said Reynolds, a former pack-a-day smoker.
At Bayonne Medical Center, a recent Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation session helped nine people convince themselves they didn't need cigarettes.
"You're the only one that can make it happen," said hypnotherapist Barbara Van Dyne, who smoked two packs a day for 25 years before kicking the habit with the help of hypnosis.
The program was held at Community Crossing's new building.
Van Dyne put participants into a trance and then suggested negative ideas about smoking that will help them quit.
Many of her clients were desperate to stop smoking.
"It's like I'm a prisoner," said Casey Vera, 50, of her smoking habit. Casey has a severe heart condition, and has already had one heart attack.
"Sometimes I don't even enjoy it," said Ellen McMurray, 55, who added that smoking in public embarrasses her because of the looks she gets.
"Hypnotism is not like a magic wand," Scullin said, "but it certainly helps people who want to stop these desires."
