To many college students, smoking the hiMy
exor.itlc dove clfarctts is "in" just a fad.
But far others, the imported, hand-rolled
ciprette3 havo proved to b deadly.
Tha desth of a 17-yesr o!d Cdifomia teen
nearly cna yea- ago h-ns d?'vn much attention to
the cigarettes, which are imported from Indo
nesia. Dr. Frederick Schcchtsr, thoracic sarseon at
fer.sx.a Hospital in West Anaheim, Cdlf., sdd
ther is no doubt in his mind that clove
cigarettes commonly csJkd Kretcks'
should not be alleged on ths m-sfket.
Schschtcr was responsible for trctb.3 the
boy vo died last year. The boy had smoked a
clova cigsretta the day before he got sick,
. Schechter said. According to reports, doctors
who treated hia initially thought he had iafla-
.- eria, treated Mm as such and then sent him
. Lc;-. T3 L"Ja4r dcy ha catered the hospital
with rlr.-tc:y problems. He died two months,
later ciKcpiniciy f&Ilur, .
- A!"" 'i r.? rro-J esi':t3 that hjs death was
c;1 it y :r.cld:;j ciT.e ciirettes, the fact that
" he did alerted Schechter. "
"He clearly had ether problems,". Schechter
said. "Det the clove gmckin together with
somsthing else, brcagM him to the hospital."
Since the boy's death, Schechter has seen a
. similar care. .
This time it was a lS-year-c'd athlete who
entered the hospital with similar problems. II
thought that he had smoked an herb cigarette,
Schechter said.
This miscoaceptloa is where the problem lies,
Schechter said, limy people, think that clove
. cigarettes are nothing but herb cigarettes. But
clove cigarettes have more tar and nicotine than
tobacco cigarettes. According to the American
. Lung Association, clove cigarettes are 60 per-'
. cent tobacco and 40 percent ground cloves, clove
oil &nd other additives.
Studies at the Oak Eidge National Laborato-
' ries ia Oak Eidge, Tenn., found unusually high
counts of tar and nicotine in clove cigarettes,
according to Esger Jenkins, principle investiga
tor of tobacco and marusM smoke studies in
Oak Eidge.
According to a report presented at the fifth
World Conference of Smoking and Health in July
1933, a non-filtered Djaium brand clove cigarette,
has 43.6 milligrams of tar, 2.81 milligrams of
nicotine, 18.8 milligrams of carbon monoxide
and 85.7 milligrams cf carbon dioxide in one
cigarette.
That was compared with a non-filtered Camel
brand cigarette: 28 milligrams of tar, 1.69 milli
grams cf nicotine, and 17.8 milligrams of carbon
monoxide. There was no listing cn the amounts
of carbon dioxide.
People can smoke clove cigarettes without
the hacking cough related to smoking tobacco
cigarettes because the cough is suppressed by
the numbness. Cloves are also more easily addic
tive than tobacco cigarettes, Schechter said.
Because cf Scheduler's efforts and the efTort3
of the American Lung Association of Orange
County, Calif., the national American Lung Asso
ciation has issued a warning cn clove cigarettes.
Jim Ingoiio, director cf communications for
the Lung association in Orange County, said
more than ICO concerned people have contacted
.his oOce since the cDce issued its worrirg.
Many questions about clove dgmttes, need to
be answered Ingoiio said.
Ligolio said he would like to know what kind
of pesticides are being sprayed on the clove
fields in Indonesia.
"Are they using paraquat?" he said. "If that's
the case, it's a serious wrench in the matter."
Paraquat is a highly poisonous pesticide.
Cloves have gained popularity with the 14-to
. 24-year-old age group because they are easy to
'buy, Ingoiio said, mother reason for their popu
larity: They have taken the place ofmarusna, he
said. . ",
' Smoking cloves increased in popularity in the
early 1980s, he said almost taking the place of
'the joint." Unfiltered clove cigarettes and r.ari
'juasajoints are similar in appearance, he said.
. Junior high kids often like to smoke them for
' that reason, he said
"They (cloves) also don't have the negative
legalities' that a joint has," Ingoiio said. "You
don't get busted for smoking a clove."
