~NDUSTRIAL ALLIES AN~ FRIENDLY VOTERS
The InitiaTive will have a major impact on. other
industries in the State. Their financial resources
and access to employees could substantially aid the
cmmpaign.
Additionally, there are large employee groups:--
particular}y those in, public service -- which may
rebel against massive office space reallocations or
blanket smoking prohibitions.
The campaign will solicit contributio:ns from indus-
trial allies and sympathetic employee groups.
It will attempt to advance campaign arguments in
company and employee association/union newsletters,
trade publications, etc.
A major Speakers Bureau effort will be undertaken
to reach allied industrial and friendly voter groups
at th,eir places o~ employment, trade shows, civic
and social meeting.s, etc.
Through the use of modern polling and '"cluster group
analysis~'.. Zechniques, neighborhoods can be identified
throughout the State which, have greater likelihood.
of voting against the Initiative than the population
at large:. These neighborhoods will be targeZed for
heavy concentrations of computerized direct mail.
Persons whose political affiliation,s or ethnic
he#ditage indicates probable sympathy ~o, our cause
.~ill be selected ~or targeted direct mail appeals.
Ethnic groups will also be reached Through some
ethnic rad:io and newspaper advertising.
THE PUBLIC, THE MEDIA AND: THE LEGISLATURE
OMerlaying all elements of the cmmpaign, there must
be sensitivity to the long-term political~ impacts of
campaign activities. Specifically, campaign actions
must not damage industrial credibility with the med~ia,
legislators, or State ~dministrators who will make the
future ~inal decisions on ~aws or regulations to
implement the Initiative, should our campaign fail
to. defeat it.

Campaign. Plan,. cont'd
While the 1980 Initia~iwe does. not contain many of the
inconsistencies and weaknesses o~ it's 1978 predecessor,
~t is still an unnecessary, costly and unfair law.
The pub%ic must be convinced that the issue is bro~der
and more important than the question, of "clean air".
The gen,eral population, the media an,d the Legislature
must be made to see the Initiative as an, erosion of
civil liberties, and as an unfair and divisive law.
To accomplish this, there will be a broadening of
the previous pool of contributors to the an,ti-regulation
campaign. ~ajor efforts will be undertaken to obtain
small contribu,tions from private ind:ividmals. Addition-
ally, employee organizations and companies who are
unrelated to the tobacco industry will be encou.raged to
participate in the funding effort.
A consistent !o~-key press relations operation
will be commenced, stressing the key weaknesses of the
law. Specific weaknesses are-
The voters hav.e already voted~ against anti-
smoking laws once before, at great expense
to taxpayers ~or prin~ting of bal~ots and
related election costs.
This. measure establishes special rights
for one class o~ citizens, a contradiction
of the basic premise o~ our ~o~ernment system.
The In,itiative will bring harm, and incon-
venien,ce to. small companies, restaurants and
many employees ~whether or not they smoke).
The. measure is ~n, abuse of the Initiative
process; for rather thmn allowing citizens
the ability to, over-r±de ~he Legislature,
it takes control away from the peoples'
elected representaZfves andl gives complete
contro,l to. appointed public employees, who
are no~ accountable directly to taxpayer/
voters.. The only remedly people wi~l have
~o~ unfair or inept enforcement of the
Initiative would: be another expensiwe
initiative campaign, in future years, as the
Californ~ia ConstituTion prohibits the
Legislature from enacting laws which
nullify statutes adopted by Initiative.
-6-

_Campaign Plan,, Cont'd
As part of the effort to en,sure an on-going legis-
lative environment conducive Io fair consideration, of
industry positions, a program of legislative
communication wil~ be developed.
This communication will be preceded by "focus group"
interviews conducted in appropriate settings by
research professionals. ~t will help establish the
main areas of agreement and disagreement between key
legislators and California industry. These
focus groups will also seek to identify the techniques
and semantics which are most likely to strike respond-
sire chords with, legislators and their staff.

Vl. CONTINGENCY
The limited budget which has been. consid~ered for this campaign
can defeat the Iniliative if public opinion begins to. change
in our favor outside of th.e control of our campaign,.
Activities of the proponents, a spontaneous assault by the
news media, or public rebellion aEainsz another attemp~ to:
further regulate a complex society., could all conZribute to
such a favorable climate.
The campaign will mon.i~or public opin,ion through a series of
tracking s~ud~ies to be conducted during August and September.
IZ public opinion begins to dramatically shift before the
major direct mail expenditures of September and October, it
may be prudent to s~gnifican~!y in,crease the campaign budge~
for ~ddi~iona! ad~ertising or direct mail communications.
It is possible ~h,at these late expenditures cou,~d occur pri-
marily during ~he period between September 25 and October 20;
so ~hat the proponents w,ou,ld be unaware of an ~ncreased lev,el
of campaign activity until the required spending reports are
filed on October 23. This would be too late for ~h~e proponents
to effectively reac~ ~o an increased level o~ campaign activity,.

Dade County-- GASP Initiative and Rang.e Committee
Proposal
Accordin.g to Doug Sessions, Mrs. Range presentedl her committee's
proposal during the "Citizen's Presentation," section of yester-
day's regularly scheduled meeting of the Dade County Commissioners.
The Citizen's Presentation section of the agenda is a grievance
period, where any citizen can present an, issue or proposal before
the Commissioners.
Doug sai4 that her proposal was more or less passed over, that no
action was taken by the Commissioners, meaning that the Commissioners
did not agree to formally consider Mrs. Range's proposal. Two out
of the five Commissioners, however, did state that they would study
her proposal. Secondly, the County Attorney sa, id he would review
the proposal for legal sufficiency in case it was form:ally accepted
by the Commissioners for consideration in the future.
Mrs. Range, who evidently is a local political heavy-weigh,t (vis.
was on "Meet the Press" on the recent Miami riots -- she is bl--~-~k),
said she would consult each Commissioner individually. It would
appear that she intends to. push for consideration of her proposal
and will present it again for consideration by the Commissioners.
The next meeting of the Commissioners is June 17.
Doug also men,tioned that, according to the County Attorney, if the
Range proposal should be consideredl and adopted and if the smoking
restriction initiative is approved by the people, That th,e: most
recent proposal would supercede. The initiative proposal, therefore,
would stand as the law.
Thirdly, if GASP we:re to obtain fifteen percent over the required
number of signatures, thereby allowing the County Supervisor of
Elections to randomly certify the forms, and if this certification
process was to be challenged, thereby requiring, that each signature
be verified, and if this. challenge resulted in GASP n,o:t meeting the
deadiline for th,e September 9 election, then the question would: appear
in the next regularly scheduled general election, which would be the
October 7 run-off election. Due to legal advertising requirements.,

however, the County Supervisor's Office is of the opinion that
GASP would not qualify for the October 7 election. Hence, it
appears that if the above scenario materializes and GASP does
not qualify for the September 9 election, the questionwould be
presented to the public on the November 4 Presiden.tial election
ballot.
Dou~ said he is mailing a letter today to you regarding the Dad:e
County situation.

Statement by AFL-CIO Executive Council
on
Anti-Smokin~ Campaign
Bal Harbou~, Fla.
February~, 1980
Anti-smoking campaigns have in many instances gone to extremes
which infringe on ind~ividual rights. Such c~mpaigns have recently
t~ken the form of pressures by employers upon ~ions to. adopt con-
tracts containing clauses outlawing smoking, or segregating, smokers
from non-smokers~ and
~p!oyers have also attempted to impose no~-smoking campaigns
on their emp!oyee~ without their consent or cooperation.
Some e~!oyers have exploited scientific sSudies of the
effects of smoking with occupational exposure to toxic substances and
conclud~ that it would be unnecessary to control exposure of these

Minnesota Cigarette Sales
Date: December 1.1, 1979
.We have updated the report on the effects of the Minnesota Clean Aiir
Indoor Act (which went into effect on August l, 1975) on the state's
cigarette sa;lles. The findings are essentially the same as when last
reported on February 21, 1979.
Attachment l detail!s tax-paid cilgarette pack sales per capita (total
population) from 1973 through 1979 for Minnesota and To~al U.S. In the
fiscal year. ending June 30, 1975 (before the Act was passed), Minnesota
had Ill.5 tax-paid!c~garette pack sales per capita versus 134.9 for
Total U.S. The index of Minnesota to U.S. was .827. For ~he year
ending June 30,, 1979, the index of Minnesota to U.S. was .852. This
indicates that there has, in fact, been a sligh~ improvement in
Minnesota versus. U.S. per capita sal!es since the passage of the Act.
Attachment 2 provides indexes of Low Tar, lO0's, Menthol and P.M.
Shares for the Twiin Cities trading area - which covers virtually all
.the state of Minnesota, vs. Totall U.S. from 1975 through the first
six months of 1979. NOtice that the pa~terns of development have
remained constant during this time period. The Twin Cities were and
still are heavily dlevel!oped in terms of Low Tar (126), Total P.M.
Share (ll6), and under-developed for lO0's (93). and Menthol (79).
Attachment 3 shows a comparison of the Twin. Cities and its neighboring
trading areas' indexes in. 1979 for Low. Tar, lO0's, Menthol and Total!
P.M. Shares. In general, the Twin Ciities have category development
patterns similar to those of the neighboring markets. The exception
is that Total P'.M.Share is significantly higher.
In sum, there has been very Iittl~e change in Mi:nnesota's tax-paid
cigarette sales per capita, category development indexes, or P.M.':s
market share index since th~ passage of the Clean Air I.ndoor Act.

Indiana H. 1540:
Date: March 30, 1979
As I'm sure you know, the Indiana public smoking, bill, H. 1540,
is dead for the year. The attached article describes how the llegislation
was killed by Senator Edwards and Senator Nierneyer.
Most bills of limited scope like H~ 1540 receive lit-tie or no
opposition and once passed give the an~ismoking forces a "foot in, the
door" to achieve their ultimate goal of banning all smoking in all pub-
lic places. The House vote on H. 1540 proved that this bill was no ex-
ception, but thanks to you. and: your volunteers:, we were able to con-
vince the Senate tha, t this was an unnecessary infringement on the rights
of individuals.
I'm confident, as I hope you are, that we will continue to. s~and
up and be counted when we face th.ese challenges. Your involvement
was, and will be, the key to our success.

March. 9, 1979 Minneapolis City Council Action
on Ordinance Prohibiting Free Cigarette
Distribution
Proposed Ordinance: Distribution of free cigarettes prohibited.
No person in the business of selling or promoting, cigarettes,
or agent or employee of any such person, shall distribute
cigarettes free to any person within the City of Minneapolis.
Council Action: The City Council passed: out an amended ver-
sion of the above ordinance. The amended version deleted
the term "within the City of Minneapolis" and substituted
"on the public malls, sidewalks or pedestrian concourse."
The scenario of Council action was as follows:
A motion was made to postpone consideration until
a more detailed City Attorney opinion could be
obtained. This action was in response to a memo-
randum developed by Joe Robbie and A1 Lerner and
was sent to the Council members on behalf of the
Minnesota Candy and Tobacco Distributors Associa-
tion. The memorandum delineated the potential
unconstitutional and discriminatory aspects of
the ordinance.
The motion to postpone failed by a 5-6-1 vote
(one member abstaining and one member being out
of town). Aldermen De Mars, Hoyt, Daugherty,
Schulstad and Green voted to postpone.
Alderman Hoyt then proposed amending the ordinance
because of the "legal implications" of imposing an
ordinance placing a distribution ban on a product
throughout the City of Minneapolis.

March 9, 1979
Page two
The same five aldermen voting to. postpone expressed
support for the ordinance in principal, but.again
stated: their concern regarding (!i) its legality
and (2)i their doubt if the intent of the ordinance
(i.e., protecting minors from cigarette smoking:)
could be achieved. The amending motion passed
by a vote of ii-i with Alderman Dziedzic (the
sponsor) voting no.
The obvious intent of the amendment was to limit
the distribution ban in hopes of averting any
potential legal problems.
The Council then passed the amended version by a
unanimous vote of 12-0 of those present.
It is important to note that while the intent of the ordi-
nance (protecting minors from cigarette smoking) enjoys
unanimous support among the Council members, concern still
remains among the five supportive aldermen regarding the
legal implications of even the amended ordinance.

In addition to a lot of personal contact and hard political work, being very
effectively directed and led. by Mike Irish,, we have this year employed a new
technique to help generate letters of opposition to members of the Assembly
and Senate.
Because we are forced to call on New York ~t~loyees so frequently, our
percentage of participation has dropped (quite frankly, it is akin. to
burnout) o
In order to ~ the response rate to Action Requests among headq)a~ters
employees living in New York frc~ its current i0 percent, we inaugurated a new
mobilization technique known as "lobby letters." Lobby letters, which w~re
used extensively in Project Apodosis, are multiple text letters directed to
the individ1~a]'s legislator. They are designed to appear as if they w~re
written by individuals. Mak/ng use of the mainframe ou~uter in Richmond and
the advanced word processing system in PM USA Corporate Affairs, we are able,
to create these lobby letters. Each includes the person's name and. address,
as well as the names ar~ addresses of his/her state senator and
assemblyperson.
To produce these lobby letters, we start with 12 cc~npletely different texts.
We then vary the type face, margins, paper size, paper type and paper color
randcmly as the letters are produced. Enclosed with the letters is a
pre-addressed, st~c~ed envelope. Thus, all the employee has to do is sign the
letter, insert it into the envelope, and mail it. The employees are sorted to
minimize the likelihood that one legislator would receive an identical letter
fi-~-~-~ two persons. In all there are about 240 variations in the letters.
It is, of course, possible that the same legislator will receive the same
letter fr~ two individuals. We anticipated this possibility and, based upon
our best political judgn~nt, concluded that the effect of the letters w~uld
not be significantly diminished. This is true because by signing the letter,
the employee is endorsing the position expressed in the letter and as a
constituent, the legislator must respond to that endorsement. It would be
naive to think legislators either are unaware that political campaigns are
organized or that they discount well-organized: lobby campaigns.

There are ii00 ~loyees who got a lobby letter. We anticipate 600-700
signing and mailing them (or one of their own), generating an average of 5 per
Assemblyperson and i0 per Senator.
Attached; are the basic texts, which, include misspelling and poor granmar by
design.

S~BJECT: New York State's Clean Indoor Air Act, A. 2926/S. 21381
The New. York Assembly will consider A. 2926 shortly, a bill introduced by
Assemblyman Alexander "Pete" Grannis, that would regulate or prohibit smoking
in public places, work places and public meetings. There are fines, penalties
and court proceedings provided for in, this bill for anyone who is "caught
smoking."
Assemblyman Grannis has introduced similar legislation in each session since
1979. In. 1982 the bill was defeated by. the Senate Health, Committee, and in
both 1983 and 11984, it was defeated in the Assembly. No Senate action was
taken in either 1983 or 1984.
We need your assistance in opposing this legislation. With your help we can
defeat it again. Please write to your legislators and tell hiN/her that you
oppose the legislation.
TO MAK~ IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SEND A LETTER, WE ~A~E ENCLOSED
PRETY~ED LETTERS TO YOUR LEGISLATORS. ALL YOU ~ DO IS SIGN T~E LETTERS A~D

Dear Assemb&yman/Senator (last name):
Open hy clearly stating your opposition to the legislatiou.
I am opposed: to A. 2926 and S. 2138, bills that would regulate or prohibit
smoking in public p~aces, work places andi public mee£ings.
State your reasons for this opposition.
* The cost to government and private business to attempt to comply with
these measures will translate into h<gher costs and increased prices for
the consumers.
* Government control is not the answer to the public smoking issue. The
answer lies in courtesy by smokers and; tolerance by nonsmokers.
* Laws that attempt to restrict or segregate smokers in public places are of
such low priority to the police that they receive little or no. attention.
Lack of attention, by the police erodes confidence in our law enforcement
agencies.
* This measure only creates a~ larger bureaucracy to handle a matter that
already is handled by citizens without outside interference.
Clo.se your letter by asking for the legislator's cou~nents on this issue.
For example:
I am ~-xious to hear your views on this matter.
or
Please let me kno~ your position on this issue.
Sincerely,

Dear Assemblyman ~iflnm :
I am and have always been a~ firm believer in getting
government of~ the backs of the people. In the past few years,
we've made a io~ of progress in, dioing just that, deregulating
major industries and being less likely to pass a law the minute
somebody comes up with an objection to somebody else's
behawior.
I'm writing, to you to express my firm conviction that the
last thing we need is another set of ~aws governing private
behavior, such as smoking. If people want to smoke, they'll
smoke, and adults can work out such things as where and when to
smoke among themselves. They don't need the government telling.
them how and when to do it.
If restaurant owners or office managers can't work out a
solution to a minor problem like this, then we're all in a

I don't even smoke, but even I think that we don't need another
set of laws telling, people what they can and can't do in public
or private places.
I think that when problems arise about smoke bothering
somebody, most of us can take care of it ourselves without
shedding blood or costing anybody any money.
When someone's smoke bothers me, I tell them. Usually, they do:
something about it. ~ don't think it's necessary to put people
like me behind a~barrier in a restaurant or in a special
section of an office. For many years now, businesses or
institutions tha~ think it's important to forbid smoking in
some part of their building have done so all by themselves.

Dear Assemblyman ~r001 :
Why pass laws on where people can and can't smoke. When this country
tried Prohibition, the people found out that not only did Prohibition
not work, it brought a whole lot of other problems along with it --
like the rise of bootleggers. Government and ordinary citizens foundl
out that it was impossible to legislate against and enforce laws on
drinking. New England's blue laws have had the same fate. Nobody
even bothers to enforce them most of the t~me.
Haven't we already learned that nobody can legislate personal
behavior? All that happens is that the government spends a lot of
time and money; and the police have another item to add to the list of
things they don't have time to do. In this case, they couldn't do it
even if they tried.
Don't we ever learn from the past? What's the point of passing
another piece of useless legislation? I'd like to know.

theaters. He said, he wanted the law passed because those babies
annoyed him and he wanted them stopped. Seems to me that the

SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW
WE'RE LIVING IN THE AGE OF THE NUISANCE LAW, NUISANCE LAWS

LIKE IS, A NUISANCE LAW IS ONE THAT IS DESIGNED TO DISRUPT OR BAN
WHAT OTHERS CONSIDER ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR, THESE ARE NOT LAWS
PASSED TO GUARANTEE CIVIL, POLITICAL OR ECONOMIC FREEDOMS, THEY
ARE PASSED TO PUT THE POWER OF THE LAW' BEHIND ONE SET OF TASTES
AND OPINIONS AND TO OUTLAWANOTHER,,
BY EXTENSION, YOU COULD APPLY THAT DEFINITION TOGROUPS OF
PEOPLE, AND, IN SO DOING, GIVE JIM CROW ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO
REAPPEAR,,
NUISANCE LAWS ARE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR LEGAL AND LEG,ISLATIVE
PROCESS BECAUSE THEY ERODE RESPECT FOR:THE LAW', ~HIS EROSION
TAKES PLACE NOT ONLY AMONG THE PUBLIC, BUT AMONG THE PEOPLE

TO ME A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS FORM OF THIS KIND OF LAW, I AM
TALKING ABOUT THE PROLIFERATION OF THE SO-CALLED "CLEAN AIR" LAWS
THAT PROHIBIT SMOKING IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS OR SEGREGATE SMOKERS
FROM NON-SMOKERS IN RESTAURANTS. THESE LAWS ARE I~VARIA,BLY
PROMOTED BY PEOPLE WHO OBJECT TO SMOKERS AND TO CIGARETTE SMOKE,
BUT SEEM RELUCTANT TO ASK SOMEONE TO PUT OUT THAT CIGARETTE.
AS A RETI~RED NEW YORK POLICE OFFICER:AND A,SFORMER DIRECTOR
OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF THE BOSTON HOUSING AUTHORITY,, I WOULD LIKE TO
TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO POINT OUT TO YOU A,S LEGISLATORS THE
CONSEQUENCES OF NUISANCE LAWS LIKE THOSE DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
SMOKERS. AND I,~DLIKE TO GET YOU TO THINK AS BLACK EEGISLATORS
ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS OF ANY LAW THAT OFFERS THE OPTION' OF
SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT.
LET'S FIRST LOOK AT THE LOGI~STICAL AKD= PROCEDURAL
IMPRACTICALITIES OF EN'FORCI~NG LAWS A,GAIN!S~ PUBLIC SMOKING,.

ON A VIOLATION!, INDEPENDENT OF A, PLAINTIFF, ~HAT DOESN'T OCCUR IN

SECTION' OF A RESTAURANT, WHO WI, LL BRING A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE

AND ANOTHER OFFICER HAD BEEN OUESTIONING, A SU~SPECT -- WITHOUT
SUCCESS -- FOR OVER AN HOUR, FINALLY THE PRISONER SAID, "OK, I'LL
TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW, BUT FIRST LET ME HAVE A
CIGAREITE." ON!E OF THE POLICEMAN GAV'E HIM A CIGARETTE. JUST A,S HE
LIGHTED IT, A SERGEAI~T BUR:ST INTO THE ROOM AND SAID, "DON'T YOU
SEE THE NO SMOKING SIGN,? PUT OUT THAT CIGARETTE!" THE SUSPECT
CLAMMED UP, AND THE INTERROGATI:ON: HAD TO START OVER.
THE FOREGOING PROBLEMS, WHILE PRACTICAL, ARE ALSO,
SUPERFICIAL. LET'S LOOK AT A MORE SERIOUS SIDE OF THIS KIND OF
NU!ISANCE LEGISLATI;ON.
THE VERY NATURE OF r~UISANCE LEGISLATION' CALLS FOR SELECTIVE

SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT COME OUT OF THE H!IGHL¥ P'UBLIICIZED -- AND
SUBSEQUENTLY DI~SCREDITED -- "SMOKERS' COURT" IN CHICAGO.

SMOKERS~ COURT WAS ESTABLISHED OSTENSIBLY AS A DETERRENT TO
SMOKING ON SUCH'hUBLIC CONVEYANCES AS BUSES AND SUBWAYS. IN
REALITY, THE POLICE USED ANTI-SMOKING LAWS AND APPEARANCES IN
SMOKERSw COURT AS A PRETEXT FOR LEGALLY QUESTIONABLE SEARCHES AND
ARRESTS. A, ONE-MONTH: SURVEY MADE WHILE THE SMOKERS' COURT WAS IN
EXISTENCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. OF 279 PERSONS ARRESTED FOR SMOKI~NG,,

THE POTENTIAL FOR HARM!OF FRIVOLOUSLY PASSED ANTI-SMOKING
LAWS GOES BEYONDTHE BLATANT BIGOTRY OF SMOKERS~ COURT. THESE

Beyond this, Hargrove has strong contacts across the country among Black law

four million; carries jusv one and one-half

LaVerne Jones of:the Institute for, Labor
Research estimates that almost 350,000
worl~ersin the Detroivarea face permanent
job]essness because of plummeting car sales
and slructural changes in the auto industr),:
In the long unemployment lines and onthe
sluggish assembly lines, most understandi
as Mayor Coleman Young puts it, "that we
will never return to the g!ory days of the
past in terms of automotive production.,
Yet something unprecedented has.hap- •
pened in recenl years which makes this far
from the worst of times for.Detroiter,s. With
national'paranoia over lawlessness soaring,
Detroit seems lohave beaten its own crime
problem, ~hieh was once the nationrs most
acule: Its ove~'a]l crime rate is down 30,per~
cent from,three years ago. In one special
targevarea,.robbery has dropped by 56 per
cent., breaking-and-entering.by 61 per cent,.
rape by60 per cent.
It was in search of an explanation for
these astonishing statistics that bfound my-

one da.v lasl spring: What I discovered there
suggests much from v, hieh other American
cities: can learn. But the lessons may ~ ell're,
quite chapges that few municipal govern-
mately; in fact, it is a:story ofieommunity it-
selI: how Detroit lost it and found it again,
• and what happened in,betweem
Like much of Detroit, the 152~block
neighborhood known as Chandler Park
burst into existence almost overnight, in the
sudden~ explosion, of street~-paving and
house-buildingthat accompanied ithis cit y'~
emergence as the Twentiet~h~ Century
American dream factor)'. In 1910, Detroit
had been a: relatively sleepy commercial
town that drew its Iiving from the timber,
agriculture, and manufacturing trade of:the
Great Lakes, a transshipment poinl con-
veniently localed halD.,ay between lhe iron
ore of the Mesabi range and the steel mills
of Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
By 1925~ however, when Chandler Park
was fully inhabited, Detroit was already'
pushing.toward a population of~ 1~.5 million..
The present~ physical limits of the city.
taken shape, and with them a Lvmbolic
landscape: Perhaps more than anywhere
else in, America, Detroit,s configuration
summed up social! and economic realities
that gave the lie to familiar assertions that
the United States wasa clt~ssless society.
Around the old commercial core of the
city~ the new neighborhoods.spread in con-
centric rings. Firsti came tight ranks of
shabby apartment buildings where the tran-
sient newcomers to Motown passed! their
initial months. Next stretched--almost
endlessly' it seemed--the two-story frame
cotlages and duplexes.constructed by the
auto magnates expressly for their assembly,
line workers. Lasts, save for the
maffsions of Grosse Poime beyond ~he
boundaries, rose the brick Cape Cod~
~here the middle m.qnagers and p~ofes-
sionals of the auto ind~stry rai~;ed their
families.

rural variation, ju< as their ~c>pccti~e in-
habit,ants showed virtually no so-
cioeconomic di'eergence. The job status and
income ofi a Detroiter could be assessed
simply'by asking two questions: Where did
she or he live. andin what sty.le of house? It
really was thav simple, andi for the rues:
part, it remained that simple for, thirty
years.
Over those years, a mute, common un-
d.erslanding ruled Detroit--an understand-
ing that certain residential barriers were not
to be viotated~ Whatever the ¢galilarian
rhetoric of the culture at; large, Detroiter~
were born and raised in an atmosphere in
~,'hich class consciousness was a palpable
thing. Consequently; crime---omnipresent.
terrifying streel crime of~ lhe sorv that
characterizes Amer,ican life today--
remained under control, as it does in
societies where people know their, place and/
where community feeling (for better or: for
worse) runs deep in ever3.' neighborhood.
But there was a fly in the ointmem of
strict:class analysis in Detroiv. the same
that, buzzes through e~ cry assessmenliof so,
cial and economic conflict in America. The
tlywas race, andin the years between 1950
and I974 it made life in Detroit an,unre-

lion to 350,000 by 1978; ~nd a phenomenal
level of crime--not bemuse the city'had be-
come black, but because its neighborhood
~ability had been shattered. In: the years .
which ,saw Detroit descend into its "'Murder"
City" period, itwas a metropolis almoslien-
tirely gi~'en over to:transience. The sense of,
community feeling.is difficult to pr~ser~e in
a forest of "for sale" signs.
That brings us to the bottc;m of the
abyss--the blood): 1967 riots that killed at
least forty-three Detroiters and left,much of
the city a smoking ruirr. For the Chandler
Park area, which until that year was racially.
divided bythe park 0fthe same name, the.
riots opened, a truly unpleasant half-
decade. Black and while familiesaltke were "
viclimized by gangs.operating out of the
nelghborhood's hundreds of abandoned
houses, despiie a massive investment in p~-
lice manpower and tactical mobile units,
which~only seemed to exacerbate the prob-
lem: From 1970'to 1974, burglary, larceny ....
and auto theft, increased by 61.6 per cent.
"'Everyone on our bl~ck--absolulely every-
onewwas robbed one year," remembers
Alice Szawicz,.one Chandler Park resident.
"Even two policemem"
Nevertheless,: the bottom had been
reached, for the simple reason that
Chandler Park, like the city that sur..
rounded it, was no longer racially divided.
In,effect, the riots broke down the bar-
riers which had once kept Detroit'S
classes--and later its races--separat'e: In
1966~ the city had three sorts of neighbor-
hood: black, becoming, black, and all-
white. By 1,978 there was not~ a single all-
white neighborhood~ The, riots, had:
accelerated white flight to the suburbs and

Violence in Detroit: A Bleaker View
The police unit called STRESS (Stop ,the
Robberies and EnjoySafe Streets) came
into existence in Detroil in,1971, and in
two short years had l-wenty-two killings
to its credit. Similar to SWAT in Los
Angeles and Atlanta and BOSS in New
York City. STRESS accounted for
l,percent of the more than 5.500 Detroit
police officer,s, but it soon~had the
highest per capita number of civilian kill-
ings by an)' urban police department in
the country. STRESS officers them-

Detroit had entered 1967 as one of the
most thoroughly segregatedl cities in the
United Slates. When, il finally emerged
from the ashes of that year's riots a decade

ers, the police were demonstrably not the
solution.
police Departiment spokesman,
Fred Williams. a twenty-five-year
veteran of, vhe force, .quickly
agrees that there was something
wrong with,the police--and with police pol-
icy.--in those years. "Basically. we used;to
just tell peopie what v, as w.rong, and ho,,v
we're going to take care of it,, he says. "But
the more police had their way, the more
the)', alienated the community: And in the
meantime, the crime rate kept rising."
With, the I974 election, of Coleman
Young, the city's first black mayor, came
the first important steps toward a different
approach. Young had run on a specific
promise to the black community: He would
get rid of Detroit's STRESS squad,~ the
"SWAT'Mike decoy unit which many
blacks regarded as a legalized death squad,
licensed to kill teen-aged blacks involved in
petty property crimes. Young kept his
promise and improved on it, establishing an"
aggressive affirmative action program to re-
cruit black officers into the predominantly'
white police force. The program soon be-
gan to payoffin improved:trust between:the
department and the entire community:
"Detroit's like a big, big little town,"'
says Fred Williams. "Once the racial
makeup of the police force reflected lhe
realtty of the population, nearly everybody
had a friend or a relative in law enforce-
ment. It wasn,t 'them! an`. more: if:
'us.' ""BUt that still wasnrt enough.
Late in 1976, Young named William L.
Hart police chief, with a mandate to study
the problem of crime in Detroit and make
~hatever changes were necessary to meet
it.. Hart reached some drastic conclusions
about his department: Even wilh the im-
proved racial climate, nothing seemed to
work. "Traditional police practices." he
flatly states. "'will not reduce crime." In fact~,
Hart told the mayor, the police themselPes
could do very little once crimes had actually
been committed. I,f crime ~vas to be reduced
al all, "the citizens in tlie community must;
be actively in'.~.qved."
Community invoh'cment, of course: is

"You could say that we decided to be

The process startedwith a decentralizing
scheme that saw fifty police "mini~s~ations"
open,all over town~ staffed not only with po-
lice but also with some 2.000 tr~ained volun-
leers, residents of the neighborhood who,
acted as links between the police and the lo-

Hart shifted the emphasis of departmental
policies away from "reactive" or after-the-
fact police action, and toward actual pre-
vention, of~ crime. Commander James L.
Humphrey; a specialist in prevention,
methods, was put in charge of a massive ef-
fort to implement lhe new policy: Then the

After the first meeting, which is primar-
ily social the officers hegira a detailed dis-
cussion of prevention~ strategies, ranging
from ways to frustrate burglary, to self-
protection in the street. "Neighborhood
Watch" and the larger program built
around it are meant to serve as much more
than inducements for neighbors to watch,

Block residents and •police meet from
time to time to discuss other measures con-
tributing to, personal safety. In recent
months, for: example, meetings have been
held or brochures dislributed to provide
tips on preventing rape, avoiding muggings,
reporting crime, and spotting confidence
operations. Again and again, police repre-
sentatives make the point at these meetings
that neighbors, not cops. are the onl.v effec,
live crime preventers. Police officials do
take pains to,emphasize thatitheir, program
is designed to make it difficult to,commit
crimes--not to empo~er citizens to soh,e or
respond;to,them, h's up to ciiizens to lake

lice to help them do i1 wiseh and safely.

So far. 3,500 Neighborhood Watch or-
ganizations have been incor,porated in:the
city, and police have strong evidence in sup-
,port of their, effectiveness. In the first two
andlone-half years of the program in
another special target area,on the west side;
crime fell overall by 65 per cent. Andiwhen
a follow-up *earn looked into the area's
burglary total for the last )'ear, t discovered
an even more remarkable fact: Every
breakqn involved a home Ihat was noti ac-
tively participating: in Neighborhood

But for those ,xhich do,panic pate, the
benefits often far exceed improved:security:
"'The idea is making a better, place in as
man)' ways as possible," says Preston. The
by,products of~ community organization in
Preston's district range from a neighbor,
hood van service for senior citizens to a
noticeable reduction of "for sale'"signs on,
front lawns.
There are, of course, risks in all of
this--for city officials and for less
carefully organized constiluents.
An organized citizenry is pro,
pared to do more than keep its eyes open
for muggers and second-stoo', artists.. It is
also much more likely to complain about in-
a.deq.uate public services, agitate for expen-

BY FRANK BROWNING
Late one AuguSt afternoon, a truck
pulled up to the corner of Tracey
and Clinton Avenue. It was~a hot,.
humid~ suffocating day; the mer-
cury' would~ not drop b~low the 90-degree
mark until well past sundown.
Tired, dripping with, sweat and grime,
the boys jumped down from the back of the
truck into the street. The five--Randy
Johnson, sixteen; Alvin; Tuner, sixteen;
Melvin Pinman,~ eighteen; Ernest Taylor.
seventeen, and Michael McDowelL six-
teen. buddies for several,years--had been,
,~orking all,day for the dri'~er, ofithe truck, a
mover and contra/:t painter. Now the job
was over. He had paid them off, and they
each had a few bucks in their pockets as
they headed down the pleasant tree-
lined streeti toward their parents" homes.
Glancing in his rear-view mirror~, the driver
shifted into ]o'~. gear as he sag' the last boy'
hit the pavement. He drove down Clinton
Avenue. and. he says, that is the last time
he saw any of them.
Tha: night, most of tbe boys came home
for supper. There was nothing, unusual,
about those who didn't: high school kids of-
ten stay out late with their friends in the
summer months. It was not until the next af-
ternoon that all five families, realized that
something unusual had happened, for by
then all!five boys had vanished.
That was three )ea~s ago this summer.
Since then, no one, not lheir parents~ not
lheir, friends, not their contractor boss, not
even the police investigators, has heard a
word from them or found an)' trace of what
happened. In,the words of one poli~e detec-

and swallowed them alive."
Another episode in the grizzly tale of
Atlanta's disappearing black children? Not
at all! These kids were all from a respect-
able black neighborhood in Ne~ark.
Jersey,:justacross the river from New York
City: And they, like scores of others who
have died or vanished from, the streets ot
Boston, Buffalo, Salt Lake City, and:
Oakland are victims of what some investi~
gators fear, is a national epidemic of
violence committed against young, black
Americans.
The fate of Atlantars twenty-eight young
blacks has capt~ured the attention of the
tire world~ Newspaper editors on every con-
tinent have watched carefully for the latesti
wire report of another body dredged, up
from some stagnant. Georgia stream. The
British,even entered the act when the detec~
tive responsible forcatching the Yorkshire
Ripper hopped the ocean, a jet-set,
Sherlock Holmes, ready tohelp solve the
most gruesome series of crimes in the city'S
history.
Atlanta, first city of the American
South, has taken its turn as the first city of
American Macabre.
But as John,Galen; a black New York
detective,:told me recently, "'Killings, mug-
gings, and :disappearing kids have been com-
monplace for us for a long time.'" ~,~,rhat Ga~
lea was sa,ving is that while blacks in Atlanta
had reason to fear, for their childrenrs
safety; the threat ofd~ath and violence may
be just, as great in mosl other, large Ameri,
can cities~ For young black males~ the brutal
fact~of life is that murder is the leading.cause
of death.
Arecent report; from the Wash-
ington~based Children'S De~
lense Fund outlines the grim
profile_ One of every seventeen
nomvhile men and one of every ~hirty,two
nomvhite women bel~een ages sixteen and,
ninctecn~are the victims of a serious crime
each ~ear. For every white male teen-ager,
murd'ered in America. five young_ non-
xvhites are killedi Almost flit)' of every
100,000 non~.hite youngsters under the a~e
of nineteen are mar&red--and ahnost
seven.of every ]00~000 nonwhiic chikfren
under the' age of four are murdered.
according to.a ]976 report, of the
Department of Health, Education and
Wdfare. Since then, police officials say; the
figures have only grown worse.
"'You've goti to. start with the fac~ thal
more young blacks are the victims of homi-
cide than of heart disease, cancer, and the
other-major diseases combined.-" says
7immy Hargrove, president of the National
Black Police Officers Association. "There
were mor~ black youths killed lastyear, than
all the blacks killed in the Viemam war."
In a voice mixed with both sorrow and
anger, Hargrove said that for several
months suburban, Atlanta police depart-
ments had disregarded the young corpses.
that were discovered~ The local police had
performed sloppy, prelimina~ investiga-
tions and in, some cases had lost valuable
evidence. "'Had those initiali bodies, been
white, we believe the action would have
been takenquicker and more intensely.7 he
said.
If Atlanta-area police initially failed to
find anything unusual in, the murder of
young blacks, they were nov the only ones.
John Schaffner, managing editor off The
Atlanta Constitution. told public television
interviewer blodding Carter, °'It was not~
immediately recognized as being a ~errible
problem because of the facl thai five or
deaths among that community . ..... among
children even in that communit), in, that
given year or in a given .vear's period of time
.... is not necessarily considered an abnor-
mal number.~
In retr,ospect Schaffner's admisqon
seems callous and incomprehensible. In
fact. it is standard operating pr,occdure on
most metropolitan dailies. Unless they are
spectacular, ghetto killings--blacks k~lling
blacks---are almost never, considered acres.
In the vernacular of the city: xoom; blsck
violence--so long as it does nm involve
whites--is "'cheap crime." A: nes~paper

Hodding Carter, "I would like to probably
say that we hopefully will do a better job of
covering the more disadvantaged black
community'of Atlanta. There are a lot of
things that we've got:to consider in that.
Number one. these people don't read news-
papers in the first place. They don't watch
TV for that much.., to that extenL They
do listen to-radio but not generally to radio
news. They don't really care that much
about the news. For the most part these
people are not what l--'and i~'s probably "
not a good tern'P~but what I term creative
newsmakers."
Life on the m~argin ~ay be cheap and
dangerous, but for the modern newspaper~
editor it is clearly not creative.
Yet for the nation's press, Atlanta has
not been the story, of, life on, the margin.
.From time to time there is mention~ that
nearly all the victims have come from, the
city's poorest section. But the single fact
that has turned Atlanta into a~Big Story is
that it is psychologically exotic. Like the no-
torious Zodiac killings on the sidewalks
San Francisco, the brutal murder of;young
women in New York City by: the "'Son of
Sam." or the sexual assaults of the Los
Angeles Hillside Strangler, Atlanta'S child
killings fall into a familiar American saga of
grotesque real-life crime dramas. Soon
there may be a major motion picture--but
if so it probably will not note that there are
twenty other American cities whose youth
murder rates are higher than Atlanta's.
That would not be news any more than it
was news when,the statistical!office of the
U.S, Department of Justice reported this
spring, that the violent crime rate against
children twelve to fifteen years old was 56.5
per thousand---eight times the rate against
the elderly. Those figures do not include
murder, but data gathered by the National
Center for Health Statistics show a similar,
pattern. Youthful victims, the Justice De-
partment: confirmedi are fal: more likely to
be black and poor than white and affluent.
The same thinggoes for, the vast numbers of
children who simply disappear each year.
According to.Hargrove and other police
authorities, there are avleast 50~000 missing
or runaway kids a year in,the United States.
Thousands disappear in New York alone
each year. "'Say we find a skeleton in,some
lot up in the South Bronx," says Jimmy
Hargrove. "'We mighv know that it'S a
twelve- or thirteen-year-old black girl. But is
she a runaway from Detroit.'? Was she kid*
napped in Miami? Did;her parents abandon
her? There's no waywe can check it 9ut~. AI]
ge know is that the problem is getting
v, orse, thal thekind of stuff:we've had for a
long time is starting to show up in ',he rest of
the country~"
~ n the wake oflthe Atlanta killings~ c~n-
cern about dis:appearing children~i~ be-
ginning to rise in other cities as the
enormity of the pr~oblem becomes
more clear.
36/SEPTEMBER 1981'
Before he became director of the Na-
tional Network of Runaway and Youth
Services in Washington. Stephen Rorke. an
Episcopa.1 priest, operated a shelter for run-
aways in Buffalo, New York. One sixteen-
year-oi.d girl came to the shelter to escape ,,
crime ring into which she had fallen. Even-
tually she led police to the head ;of the ring,
a young man in his twenties possessed of al,
most hypnotic powers. In a contemporary
variant of Oliver Twist, children thirteen
years old: or younger were trained to,steal
Social: Security checks from old people and
food~ stamps from the poor. Adolescents
were taught how to cash the checks and re-.
turn the money to the leader. For the kids,
it was a chance at sura'ival ina world where
many did not survive.
Rorke believe~ that the estimate of
50~000 missing children per year is low. In
1980 alone, he says, there were two million
missing, juveniles--l.6, million of whom
turned themselves in within seventy-two
hours of.disappearing. If his figures are cor-
re~, severalJhundred thousand may simply
have vanished~ And, say black police
officers, it is increasingly likely that those
who stay. lost are from black or Hispanic
communities in impoverished neighbor-
hoods.
The police are pessimistic abouv their
ability either to find or to save many of these
thousands of missing or "lost" children
when "they t/ind tbem~ Despite the fact that
the Federal Governmem maintains acom,
purer-based national crime information sys-
tem, the system is not designed to locate
missing persons. "'If somebody stole your
car," says Hargrove, "you could put all the
information you wantedqnlo the computer
about that, serial numbers, license plates,
style,~ model and color, the dents and all.
Face it: in "this country there's a lot more
~mphasis on saving property than there is
on,saving human life."
One Washinglon agency., the Federal
Youth Development Bureau, targeted for~
elimination by President Reagan. does col-
lect:information,on missing youth and rum
aways. It estimates thatbetween 1~.3 and 1.8
mi/lion children were listedl as missing in
1980; 36:per cenl of these cros~ed state lines
and were beyond the jurisdiction of state
and local pol~ce agencies.
"Kids have become a,low-priority itemC"
complains Richard Moran. director of a
shelter for runaways in Miami. Florida.
where almost 700 children and juveniles
were tat~en in last year. "'Our ", alues are all
scre~sed up. lfi we had one million cases of
chicken pox in this nation, the government~
~vould be going cri~ckcrs to come up with a
new serum to stop the spreading epidemic:
bul this national tragedy• of more lhan:one
million missing children remains a minor
priority."
Ten 3'ears ago~ children who werv miss~
ing from their homes won national ;~ttem
tion as a sidesho~ of hippie counterculture:
they ~ere mostly, white middle-clas:s teen-
agers who were "dropping out" of their

children, were ~ldom di~ussed But ac-
cording to the U.S. Census Bureau,: black
children under the age of eighteen are thr~.¢
• times more likely than white children to be
living away from their families; they aie
times as likely to be living in iinformal
groups, barracks, communal apartments,
or abandoned industrial buildings. .
The reasons black children leave home.•
are legion. The most basic is money. There •
is not enough money to support the whole
family, and;stresses are too severe. About
30 per cent of all¢ black children in the
United States come from families in which.
neither parent works• One of the dilemmas
facing patents in Atlanta; and elsewhere is
that they cannot keep their children at
home---even youngsters of six: or seven--
because the children must work to bring
money into the family.
If the children~ can'ti work (land in De-
troit,, estimates of black youth~ unemploy-
ment' range from 56 to 80 per cent)~--if they
can't earn money: carrying groceries at the
supermarket~ shining shoes, or collecting
soda cans for recycling centers--then the
whole family suffer,s. Or. worse, the
children .leave home.
Most of: the children who have been
found dead in Atlanta: lived with families.
They cannot be takenm i:solati0n~ however,
from what Black Enterprise editor Joel
Dreyfuss describes as the all-out "war on
black children." That war. he argues, is the
assaull of a society which is willing to:let its

These are the children ~ho see no future
for themselves, who see American society
at war with them and~see themselves avwar
with society. They are like some ofi the
children murdered in Atlanta, unlike
'others. They are per~haps more desperate,
just as,the ~outh Bronx is more desperate
than even the worst districts of Atlanta• Yet
what unites gangs lille the Savage Nomads
and: the Atlanta murder victims is their
proximity to death, their visceral knowg
edge that one of every'2,000 young black
males will be murder'ed before he cele-
brate~ihis twentieth birt,hday.
The rising death rate of, American
blacks--one receni Chicago siudy found a
300 per)cent increase in black homicides, be-
tween 1964 and, 1973--has spawned new
fears among= blacks throughout the nation.
And within the lastiyear alone a spate o.f ap-
parently racial killings in a half dOzcmcities,
has,brought the le~ el oflfkar andlparanoia to
new heights.
In Buffalo. five black h~en,were viciously
murdered, apparently at random, in one
three-week period last fall Two had: their
chests carved open and their hearts ripped
out. More rccentl)nearby Rochester Dqice

city.
In Cincinnati,:two black:teen-agers were
shot down by amunknown assailan: with a
.44 c.aIiber carbine.
In Indianapolis last January, two men
were murdered by sniper, fire as the) stood
before large plate glass store windows:
In Salt Lake City, two: young joggers
were shot and; killed while the.v were out
running. Their killer, convicted this spring;
is a self-confessed white supremacist who
was also questioned in connection with the
' ,shooting.last year of Vernon Jordan, presi.
dent ofithe National Urban)League:
In several suburban communities sur,
rounding Oakland; California~ black fami-
lies have been subjected to gunfire, fir~
bombings, and open assaults on their
children in the public schools..
The cumulative effect of these renewed
anti-black attacks, of~the rising death rate
among black teen-agers, of resurgent Ku
Klux:Klan,activity, and of the mot,bid litany
pouring out of Atlanta, has been profound.

NEW ¥OP, K ASSEHBLY BILL NO. A2746A
"New York Clean Indoor Air Act - The Gray.is Bill"
DATE: March 9, 1984
For ~he seventh consecutive year, the New York State Assembly viii consider a
comprehensive, restrictive smoking bill sponsored by Assemblyman Alexander "Pete" Crannis
(D-65- Manhattan). ~ne measure could be considered for a vote by the Assembly during
the month of March.
The bill would restrict smoking in public places including restaurants, museums, meeting
roo~s, libraries, arenas, retail 8torts and workplaces like factories and offices, (e.g.
.I00/120 Park Avenue). The bill would also mandate barriers segregating smokers from
~on-smokers, special ventilation systems and no-smoklng 81Ens. Proprietors of
establishments subject to the law would be responsible for enforcement and be liable for
a $25 fine for the first offense and $I00 for each succeaslve offense.
If enacted into law, the bill would require the creation of separate smoking areas in all
but the smallest commercial offices. This would require the relocation of office
equipment, disrupt work rou¢$nes, as well as decrease efficiency and work productivity.
Last year, for the first time since 1978, ¢he "Grannis Anti-S~oking Bill" failed to
obtain enough votes to pass out of the New York Assembly. In a last ditch effor~
Assemblyman Grannis "laid the bill on the table" which in effect gives him one more
opportunity to seek passage of this bill during the 1983/1984 legislative session.
ACTION REqUESTED
Your efforts last year made an i~pact; but we need to keep ~he pressure on ~n order to
defeat the bill once again.
all employees, including TAP/TAN volunteers living in ~ev York, who. agree
We
encourage
that the "Grannis Restrlcrlve Smoking Bill" should be defeated to do the followlnE:
Write your Assembly~n / Assembly~oman im~ed~ately to. express opposition to the ~
"Crannls Restrictive Smoking Bill." ~
Participate, if asked, in a phone bank, calling other TAP/TAN volunteers to
encourage the~ ~o write letters. This phone campaign will be coordinated
by Ric Scanlan, The Tobacco Institute Regional Vice President through Public

Open by clearly stating your opposition to the bill:
I wish to express my opposition to A2746A, the "Crannis Bill", that would restrict
smoking in public places.
State reasons for your position:
• The "Grannie Bill" is an unenforceable piece of leglslatlon that would cost
taxpayers ~uch more than it is worth.
• Smoking lee matter of personal choice and. an activity that is best governed by
common courtesy.
Citizens are already the victims of too much government regulation.
At a time of soarin~ crime rates and limited state and local monies,
implementing the "Grannis Bill" would clearly be a waste of fiscal and human
resources.
* Another lawthat proscribes personal habits is unwelcome.
* Any real or imaglnar~ problems that exist between smokers and non-smokers can
be resolved by common, sense, tolerance, and courtesy.
Close your letter by asking for the legislator's comments on the issue.
For example:
I am anxious to hear Four view onthis matter.

Please let me know your position on thls issue.
Sincerely,

SUGGESTED DgAFT LETT~ TO
There is a bill no~ in Albany.whlch would require that any "place of
wor~' or "indoor area open to the public" have separate areas set
aside for people who smok~. Called the "Clean Indoor Air Act," it is
expected to be voted on by the full A~sembly as early as April 27.
According to the bill, restrictions would be ~nposed in all government
buildings, post offices, convention facilities, bus and air terminals,
bingo halls, bowllng alleys, enclosed arcades, shopping centers,
sports arenas and many more areas.
Close to 40 organizations in New York State have filed "Memorandums in
Opposition" to this bill, which they feel is discriminatory. The
issue of smoking versus non-smoklng more often than not is solved by
courtesy and common sense. Some of the ma~or reasons to oppose this
bill include:
o It is unenforceable - according to the New York State
Federation of Police, "it would be the ultimate irony
for the Legislature to send police officers into
restaurants, bo~ling alleys, etc. to issue a cigarette
summons to a decent citlzenwhile simultaneously seeking.
more effective ways to deal with real criminals."
l__~Is costly - studies show that retail stores,
restaurants, arenas and other facilities would incur
a significant increase in expenditures to conform wlth
the proposed legislation. In businesses, work areas would
have to be redesigned to accommodate non-smoklng employees
and ventilation systems would have to be changed.
Separate non-smoklng areas in all facilities open to the
public would have to be constructed.
It is a burden on state and local sovernment - local
government would have to add staff to promulgate
regulations, hold hearings for waivers and interpretations,
etc.
I have enclosed a list of organizations already in opposition to A
2746 and a suggested memorandum. Please use your own words in
composing your letter.
If you agree with this stand, please send a memorandum to Albany in
opposition. Use your organization's letterhead and send me a copy of
your letter.
Sincerely,
(your signature)

Dear t~ember :
There is a bill now in Albany which would require that any
"place of work" or "indoor area open to the public" have seperate
areas set aside for people who smoke. Called the "Clean Indoor
Air Act," it is expected to be voted on by the full Assembl.y as
early as next week.
Close to 40 organiza¢ionsin New York State have filed
"Memorandums in Opposition" to this bill, which they feel is
discriminatory. The issue of smoking versus non-smokingmore often
than not is solved byl courtesy and common sense. Some of the major
reasons to oppose this bill include:
It is unenforceable - according to the New York State
Federation of Police, "it would be the ultimate irony
for the Legislature to send police officers into
restaurants, bowling alleys, etc. to issue a cigarette
summons to a decent citizen while si.multaneously seeking
more effective ways to deal with real. criminals."
It is costly - studies sho~ that retail stores, restaurants,
arenas and other facilities would, incur a significant
increase in expenditures to conform with the proposed
legislation. In businesses, work areas would have to be
redesigned to accomodate non-smoking employees and
ventilation systems would have robe changed. Seperate
non-smoking areas in all facilities open to the public
would have to be constructed.
It is a burden on state and local government - local
government woul.d have to add staff to promulgate
regulations, hold hearings for waivers andlilnterpre-
rations, etc.
I have enclosed a list of organizations already, in opposition
to A-2746, and a suggested memorandum. "If you can, please use your
o~n words in composing the letter.
If ~ou agree with this stand, please send the memorandmn to
the Speaker of the Assembly on your letterhead, and a copy to me.

Dear ~S~LUTATIOW:
There is a bill now in Albany which would require that any "place of
work" or "indoor area open to the public" have separate areas set
aside for people who smoke. Called the "Clean Indoor Air Act," it is
expected to be voted on by the full Assembly as early as May.
According to the bill, restrictions would be imposed in all government
buildings, post offices, convention facilitles, bus and air terminals,
bingo halls, bowllng alleys, enclosed arcades, shopping centers,
sports arenas and many more areas.
Close to 40 organizations in New York State have filed "Memorandums.ln
Opposition" to this bill, which they feel is discriminatory. The
issue of smoking versus non-smoklng more often than not is solved by
courtesy and common sense. Some of the major reasons to oppose this

o It is unenforceable - according to the New York State

would have to be redesigned to accommodate non-smoklng
employees and ventilatlon systems would have to. be

open to, the public would have to be constructed.
I_~_t i_~s ~ burden on state and local government - local
government would have to add stair to promulgate

etc.

I have enclosed a list of organizations already in opposition to A

~f you agree with this stand, please send a memorandum to Albany in

THI~ NEW YORK TIMES, TUESDAY~ MAY I, 1984
Cigarette Etiquette
The litany followed by those who do and doa't
smoke cigarettes is absolutely m~varyin~.
The nonsmoi~r starts by informing the smoker
that he is ki,lling himself. He talks about blackened
lungs and a heart that's tick~ng only out of loyalty.
The smoker responds by telling him to mind his own
business.
Now the nonsmoker escalates. "Maybe you
don't care about your health," he says, "'but you've
got no r/ght to ru/n mine." The smoker repUee by
summol~ tlp all evil bigger than both of them.
"The air we breathe," he says, "is a lot more letha~
than one of my cigarettes."
Often, the argument gets steadily more beated
and less courteous -- unless it occurs in a ~ulated
envtrmme~. Where smokers are prohibited or seg-
regated, rules are st,¢¢_,~__*ful substitutes for cour.
tesy. But where there are no rules-- the restaurant,
say, or the elevator or the office m there, are only
bad feelings. To a smoker, being asked to.put out his
cigarette is harassment. To a nonsmoker, having to
smell it is torture.
Still, how many of us would really welcome
more rules and more laws to sovern behavior?
Where smoking sections are pract/cal -- as in
planes and trains -- they're a happy soluUon. Fail-
ing them, have we so far transcended tolerance that
a simple "Do you m/rid if I smoke?" is a thoroughly
improbable cluesUon? And the occasional "Not at
all" an inconceivable answer?

The measure would require employ-

more to set aside one-third of their

Supporter~ of the bill said their inlent

Indoors. Mr. Cohalan said that there
was no c-~nc]u~tve evidence that Indoor
tobacco smoke was harmful and no a~

smoke it in any event.
Mr. Cohalan said the bill, in imposinR

Suffolk Leader Vetoes Anti-Smoking Bill

the hill. "He ~t me
in a position to have no other choice but to override,"
lYAndm mid. "Why should I talk to him now?"
Twvlve votes ars required to enact the law, and
II l~islators said yesterday that they would vote to
override. Two others who vot~i with the majority on
March 27 -- Patri©k Heaney (R.Hampton Bays) and
Joseph Rim (R-islip Terrace) -- said they needed to
study Cohalan's veto message before deciding how to
VOte.
The bill would require all offices with 7§ or move
employees to segregate smokers from nonsmokers. Rm-
tsurants with 35 or more seats would have to sot aside
one-third of the soats for nonsmokers. And smoking
would be banned in swimming pools, bank lines, public
restreoms and libraries, joining such places as health
care facilities, classrooms and foed stores where it is
already illegal.
Cohalan said he would not support legislation re-
qulrlng restaurants to set a~ide ~:~'iflc numbers of no-
smokin~ seats, because some might then be fo~eed to
turn away etmtomem during busy mealtimes. He also
said it is "arbitrary and irrational" to exempt smaller
restaurants ~whore the effects of smoking on nonsmok-
ere would be more amcentrsted."
And sines mest Suffolk btmine~e~ employ fewer
than 75 workers, "the pmpoecd local law fails to
achieve its fimdamontal objective of providing protec.
tion to the vast majority of the nonsmoking workers of
Suffolk County," Cehalan said.
But an eapert on antismoking laws stmffed at Coha-
lan's argument. ~11~e's never been a successful con-
stitutional challenge to any nonsmokers' rights law;
the argument is crazy," said John F. Banzhaf II1, a law
pmfesoor at George Washington University in Wash-
ington, D.C., and executive director of Action on Smok-
ing and Health.

• REVIEW OUTLOOK
Blowing Smoke
Here is a piece of real news:. To-
~.day is the 10Oth anniversary of the g~etr producUis.a malignedinnocent,
bi~ of the modern cigarette, so ~tnd by any reasonable standards the
-what, you ask? We will tell you, In .~vidence is overwhelming, '
~* We have responded to this growing
~this age of health boosterism and drug ~..
scares, the cigarette is well worth, knowledge in modem American fnsh-
.--contemplating, At the very least, It
provides a mirror of the way our cul-
:lure handles its problems of risk and
benefit.
The invention of the cigarette as
we know it today is itself a grand, old
'American story. A large work force of
human "rollers" used to produce the
:article by hand. One James Bonsack,
after years of labor, developed a ma-
chine to do the job, In a test on April
~; 1884, the machine finally ran suc-
:¢essfully for an entire workday. Ciga-
• ,r, ettes then could be produced for the
masses. The weed became our most
characteristic vice and a central sym-
• - Tw6nty years ago our relationship
to the cigarette became a cultural
~tory of a very different kind. Even
earlier. of course, the popular culture
• l].ad dubbed cigarettes "coffin nails."
But La 1964 the Surgeon.General~ pub-
fished a report saying in unambiguous
and authoritative terms that smoking
~ immensely bad for you. .
.. Since then, evidence has mounted
• on the connectionof cigarettes to dis,
ease. They are particularly implicated
in lung cadcer, which is showing a
dramatic increase while mc~t other
types of cancer are steady or even de-
clining after adjustment for the age
~f the poptdation, This year, lung can-
L~r probably will surpass breast can-
~¢er a.s the leading cause o~ cancer
deaL, s among American women• And
• ~igarettes also are implicated in heart
,*disease. an even more. common kiIler
~an cancer. The latest Surgeon Gen-
eral's report labels smoking "the
:l'#rgest avoidable cause of death and
:~isability in the United States."
;:- Interestingly. science still has not
'~rovided unchallengeable evidence;
:eigarette companies can still protest
:~at a lot o! the research ignores other
2factors that play a role in the develop-
: tnent; of disease. But industry advo-
:~¢ates haven,t convinced anyone that
ion. We are changlng our attitudes.
andmaklng new laws and rules. Air-
lines put smokers in the back of the
bus. People tell strangers to put out
their cigarettes. Hosts will not allow
their house gues~ to light up. City or-
dinances establish nonsmoking sec-
tlons in restaurants, Anti-smoklng
congressmen have not managed to kill
the tobacco price-support program.
but they trove succeeded in making to-
bacco growers pay more of the cost
out of their own pockets.
Yet we are uneasy about the more
blatant forms of harassment, and stop
short of any real attempt at prohibi-
tion. This restraint reflects sane
American reasons, something in us
still rebels against the busybody who
won't leave ~e neighbors alone and
insists they have to be nagged and
harried for their own good. We recog-
nize that smokers, too, kave rights.
And despite the clear risks, in the end
we recognize people must be allowed
responsibility' for .the conduct of their
own lives.
If we can adjust to social complex-
ity in the case of the lethal cigarette,
why can't we do the same with sub-
stances whose threat to us is more re-
mote and whose benefits may be sub-
~tantial? In recent years, public pol-
icy has been nothing less than hysteri-
cal about chemicals in the
environment. A pesticide ts said to
damage laboratory animals. The
movement to ban it starts rolling at
once. even if we don,t yet know an
equally successful way to keep insects
out of the food supply. Or a study says
that an anti-nausea drug for pregnant
wom~n just may be dssociated with
birth defects. Other studies and years
of use may deem the drug safe. But
the medicine is forced off the market.
leaving many women suffering and
unable to function normally..

Here are the final six ads appearing in the Albany (NY)
Legislative Gazette against the Grannis smoking restriction
bill.
Even though A 2746 is now ready for consideration in the New
York Assembly, we feel the advertising program has been a
positive part of our overall strategy on this legislation. It
has enabled the industry message to be constantly in front of
legislators and staff since early last month.

WHAT GOOD IS THE 'NO SMOKING' LAW

PAGET
Waron
Even the federal government goes onJyso faras
to print a warning on cigaret packs that the
Surgeon, Oener~[ has de, ermined that cigaret
smoking is dangerous to your health. The
proposed Clean indoor Air, Act which is b~ing
pushed in the State Legislature would go much
farther~
It would require any "place of "work"
or "indOor a~ea open to the public" to have
smoking: One puff at a time
separate areas for smoking. It would: impose
restrictions on all federal state and murdcipa~;
buildings, post offices, convention facflities~
bus and air terminals, bingo halls, bowling
centers, enclosed arcades., discos, restaurants,
hotel lobbies, shopping centers and sports arenas.
It is one thing to impose smoking restrictions
in confined areas--buses, subway cars0 airllnzrs.
even theaters---quite another to take on the world.

The "Grannis Bill"
DATE:
March 14, 1984
As you know, I was included in the program a~t the
presentation of the New York State Governor's Arts Awards in
Albany last night and spoke on. the stage of the theatre in the
Empire State Institute for the Performing Arts (."the Egg").
Following the awards, I was approached by Senator Tarky
Lombardi at the reception we held, and he made the following
points concern.ing the "Grannis Bill"-
I. The State Health Commissioner addressed Tarky's committee
yesterday on the subject of the "Grannis Bill" and! smokilng
legislation.--.obviously in full support of Grannis.
2. Tarky says "they're going! to get something this year, now
it's not j~ust Grannis, it's the State Health Commission~er too."
3. Therefore, Tarky suggests that we move toward a compromise
and support a b~ll embracing a new public policy regarding
smoking in work places which would, in effect, legislate the
employer's right to determine the conditions to be set his
employees.
Tarky thinks that this approach ~s the sanest and surest
and that we could get good: support for it in the Legislature.
I've spoken to J~m Bowling about this issue, and: I'm
sending copies of thins memorandum to Hugh, Shep, and Jim.
Incidentally, both Mike Irish and Dale Florio were talking
to Tarky after I left, and he may have made the same point to
them.

RECEfVED,
FEB
BACKGROUND
Assemblyman Alexander "Pete'" Grannis' Clean, Indoor Air Act,
A.2746A, carried, over in 1984 but must go back to the Assembly
Committee of origin,, i.e., Health Committee. On 2/7/84 the
Assembly Health Committee approved the bill by a vote of 18-2-2
and referred same to the Assembly Codes Committee which will
schedule consideration shortly. This legislation (Exhibit A)
passed the New York Assembly in, 1982 by a vote of 84-59 and was
defeated by the Senate Health Committee by a vote of 6-2. In
1,983, this bill was defeated; by a 62-57 vote (76 YEA votes being
necessary for passage). No Senate action was taken during the
year. Because early legislative action is expected, it is
necessary that opposition, to the Assembly membership be expressed;
as early as possible.
ACTION REQUESTED
Your permission for the Vice President of Region II to write
to TAN activist volunteers to request that they write
letters to members of the New York State Assembly (Exhibit
B) in, opposition to this legislation. It is suggested that
these letters commence immediately. The attached sample
letter (Exhibit C) will be sent to activist enrollees along
with Exhibit D.
Your permSssion for the Vice President of Region II to
request selected company TAN activist volunteers to
participate in a telephone bank effort prior to
consideration of the Grannis Bill after normal business
hours ~n company or other appropriate facil~ties.
Your permission for the Vice President of Region II to
request selected company TAN activist volunteers to
participate in a letter-to-the-editor program in selected
media areas. Key activists will be requested to participate
in this effort.

PUBLIC AFFAIRB
Dear Tarky :
PHILIP MORRIS
U.S.A.
120 PARK AVENUE, NEW YORK. N,Y~ 10017
January 13, 1983
The New York State Legislature will consider several
bills that, if enacted:, will have a dramatic and
adverse impact on the economy of New York State,
on. those individuals whose livelihoods are d:irectly
or indirectly linked to the tobacco industry, and on
the freedoms enjoyed by the citizens of the Empire
State.
Specifically, we would appreciate your consideration
of our industry position on the following tobacco-
related measures which are pending::
Assembly Bill No. A. 11805 and Senate Bill
No. S. 9233 would prohibit the sale of any
cigarette that is not "self-extingu:ishing"
within the state. This measure requires
cigarette manufacturers to employ technology
that does not exist. In fact, no satisfactory
process or patent for a "fire-safe" cigarette
has been identified by the federal government.
Senate Bill No. S.. 2400 and S. 9234. would
restrict smoking in certain public places,
such as elevators, restaurants, public meetings,
etc. In addition, Assembly Bill No. A. 358~A
would prohibit smoking in "schoolhouses,"
except in certain designated; areas. The tob&cco
industry believes that there is no need: for
restrictive legislation such as Senate Bill
No. S. 2400 and S. 92:34. Bot~ measures infringe
on the rights of responsible adults. Common
sense, courtesy and tolerance for the preferences
of others have been, and should~ remain, the only
elements needed for a cooperative relationship
between smokers and nonsmokers. With regard to
Assembly Bill No. A. 358-A, the tobacco industry
firmly believes that smoking is strictly an
adult custom. The enactment of this bill,
however, may have unintended effects, such as
breaching collective bargaining agreements of
some employee organizations.

Honorable Tarky J. Lombardi, Jr.
January 13, 1983
Page 2
Assembly Bill No. A. 10530 would prohibit the
sampling of cigarettes within the state. Not
only would this unwise bill result in loss of
jobs and revenue, it disregards tobacco manu-
facturers constitutional rights to free speech
and equal protection under the law.
Assembly Bill No. A. 11896 would require ciga-
rette manufacturers to disclose the chemical
additives in cigarettes. The tobacco industry
believes that significant action has already
been taken on this issue at the federal level.
The manufacturers are optimistic that the
questions that have been raised: with regard to
cigarette ingredients will be resolved at this
level. Enactment of this bill would encourage
a confusing array of similar proposals in other
states and as many as 50 different ways of com-
plying with such measures. In view of the action
already taken at the federal level, there is no
reason for duplicative discussions or the spend-
ing: of additional resources at the state level.
Taken singularly, the introduction of these bills may
be interpreted in a laudable way. However, the
cumulative effect of these bills clearly indicates
that the aim of some sponsors is to prohibit legiti-
mate marketing (A. 10530), manufacturing (A. 11805
and S. 9233), as well as thnduly restrict when and
where the consumer may enjoy the use of this product.
The weight of this evidence clearly reveals the
motive of some sponsors is to prohibit the sale or
use of tobacco in New York State.

Honorable Tarky J. Lombardi, Jr.
January 13, 1983
Page 3
Clearly, the enactment of any of these proposals
would be disastrous for the State of New York, its
citizens and the business community.
Accordingly, we urge your support in defeat of such
an ignoble experiment.
Sincerely,
Stanley S. Scott

auditoriums, theaters, libraries, museums, arenas, meeting
rooms and elevators. The New York State Assembly approved

Assemblyman "Pete" Grannls (D-68-Manhattan).. The Senate Health Committee
rejected S.2400/A.2746 by a vote of 6-2. The bill would have restricted smoking
in public places including restaurants, places of work, retail stores, public
transportation, schools, hospitals, auditoriums, theatres, libraries, museums,
arenas, meeting rooms, and elevators.
The Senate Health Committee's vote on S.2400/A.2746 was as follows:

"Clean Indoor Air Act"
A surprise move by Councilman A.t-Large Henry J,. Stern, (:Lib-Mn)i
to have the New York City Council endorse the Grannis bill and
the companion bill in the State Senate (S-2400)was beaten back
yesterday (rues),. ~nstead:, the proposed measure was sent to the
Health Committee.
Stern chose an unusual and exceptionally busy meeting day of the
Council. The agenda (copy attached) was heavy with routine matters.
In addition, all attention--including: that of the media--was focused
on consideration of a highly controversial new plan of redistricting.
Stern. had slipped in his resolution late the day before--virtually
unnoticed.
Stern. included the key words: "Immediate Consideration." If, during
the rapid calling of ordinary business, the item drew no objection,
the measure would be considered approved. No roll call was necessary.
No action by the Mayor was required. In this case, the New York City
Council would be on record as memorializing the State Legisla:ture
to act affirmatively on the "Clean Indoor Air Act."
We received word ea:rly, a~nd went immediately to City Hall.
We learned--not unexpectedly--that no City Counci~ member, other thwart
the co-sponsors, wa:s aware that the item was on the agenda. Even the
leadership--preoccupied with the redistricting matter--was little
concerned with just another resolution.
The CouncZl convened at 2:00 p.m.
We remained at City Hall.
Stern's measure was called at 5:50 p.m.
An objection was made and recorded.
Resolution~ referred to Committee on Health.

R/3SOLUTION CALLING UPON THE NEW YORK STATE. LEGISLATURE TO PASS
A.274'6/S.2400, THE CLEAN INDOOR AIR ACT, WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT
SMOKING IN CERTAIN PUBLIC PLACES AND AT PUBLIC MEETINGS EXCEPT
IN DESIGNATED SMOKING AREAS.
By Council Member Stern; also Council Members Friedlander, Greitzer,
Leffler, Messinger, Michels, Steingut and Wallace.
Whereas, the Surgeon General, in his latest report found
cigarette smoking, to be the "chief preventable cause of death in
our society;" and
Whereas, smoking causes approximately 30% of all cancer deaths
and is the major cause of cancers of the lung, larynx, oral cavity
and esophagus, and a contributory factor to cancer of the bladder,
kidneys and pancreas; and
Whereas, smoking will cause approximately 130,000 cancer
deaths this year; and
~ereas, each year approximately 12,000 New Yorkers die
prematurely due to smoking with more than 6,500 of these deaths
from lung cancer; and
Whereas, recent studies of the effects of smoking on the
non-smoker show that second hand smoke is a legitimate health hazard
that increases the non-smokers chances of getting cancer; and
Whereas, one such study of cancer among: non-smoking women
with smoking husbands showed that there was a markedly higher
incidence of lung cancer among these women than among women with
non-smoking husbanHs; and
Whereas, New Yorkers, as residents of a densely populated state
are involuntarily subjected to tobacco smoke in public places that
have become highly toxic environments; and
WhYream, ih~--~qn. Indoor Air Act still permits smoking in
designated areas but at the same time protects the non-smoker
from being exposed to a hazardeous health situation; and
Whereas, the Clean Indoor Air Act passed the State Assembly
on March 29, 1982; now, then, so be it
Resolved, That the Council of the City of New York ca~is upon
the State Legislature to pass A.2746/S.240~, the Clean Indoor Air
Act, which would prohibit smoking in certain public places and at

Grannis Press Conference 4./12/82
Date:
April 12, 1982
Assemblyman Grannis today joined by ~ssemblyman Branca
challenged the tobacco industry to. produce cigarettes
wh,ich would extinguish within 2-3 minutes.
He was supported by City Controller Harrison J. Gold,in and
officials of the New York City Fire Department at a press
conference held. at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center.
Grannis sa:id that he and Branca and State Senator Emanuel
Goldl would introduce legislation in Albany within the next
several weeks which would prohibit the sale of cigarettes
which would not extinguish themselves within 2-3 minutes.
Grannis said.the industry would be given: three years to
comply with the provisions.
During the press conference, in the Uris Auditorium, about
a dozen lighted cigarettes smoldered in ashtrays before
Grannis and other participants. Grannis pointed out that
two brands, the More cigarette and a cigarette made by
Shermans, had extingu,ished themselves with,in a matter of
minutes while the others, all popular brands, continued
smoldering .... ..
Controller Goldin said that rather than State action, he
would: prefer Federal laws which would mandate self-extin-
guishable cigarettes. He said that three years ago he
had urged New York State Congressmen to take action.
Chief John Fogarty said that the, Fire, Department enthusi-
astically supported the Grannis legislation, pointing out
that 1/3 o~ all fire deaths were caused' by careless
smokers.
Branca emph,asized that while legislation was going to be
introduced, "this is a cha~llenge to the Tobacco
Institute to produce a fire-safe cigarette," adding what
he said~ was an appeal to the industry "have you no con-
science?". Part of the press conference included viewing
a film, "Sleeping Date," an excerpt from KRON-TV (NBC
affiliate in San. Francisco), which depicted fires and
victims of fires allegedly by careless cigarette smoking.
Grannis concluded by accusing the tobacco industry of
deliberately refusing to eliminate chemicals which would
cause cigarettes to burn longer, he said, "it can be done.
The Europeans ha~e cigarettes that extinguish within
minutes. Cigars go out. Pipes go out. This is an. issue

STATE ASS~BLY REPOP.T .REVEALS CIGARETTES
EU~ER OE CAUSE OF KILLER FIRES IN rl,Y.
Speaking at the New York Hospita]~--Cornell Medical Center's world renowned Burn
unlit today., State Assemblymen Pete Grannis (D/L-Manhattan) and John R. Branca (,D-West-
chester) released their special legislative report "UP'I~N SMOKE:THE CASE FORA FI~RE-SAFE
CIGARETTE~ and called for action by the cigarette industry to address the problem, o~
cigarette-caused fires in. New York State. Joining them at the press conference were
State Senator Emanuel Gold (.D-Queens), New. York City Fire Chief Jolln Hart; Dr. G. Thomas
Shilres, Surgeon-in~Chie~ o~ New:York HOspital--Cornel] Medical Center; Mr. Cosmo a:.
La, Costa, Associate Director of New York Hospi~all--Cornel] Medical Center representing
~he Burn Unit; New York City Deputy Fire Commilssioners James Coler and Christine Godek;
Ms. Betty Brinkley, a victim of a tragic clgarette-caused ~ire, and representatives of
The ~hoenixSociety, a national association for burn victims and their families.
"'It is clear from~this ~eport," said Mr. Grannis, who is chairman of the AssemBly
HOusing~Committee, "that cigarette caused;fires exact an iintolerabl~ toll in human
suffering and death in thiis s~ate. Smoldering cilgarettes are the 1.eading cause of death
and injury in residential fires in, New York, They'are responsible not only for needless
and tragic loss of lives but for milllions of dolliars in propertv loss and unendurable pailn
and injury for those 'llucky' enough to survive these infernos every year. it is inexcusable
that th~s terrible devastation has been a]lowedlto, continue; We ~elieve that most of it
could have been avoided simply by ~hanging the formulation of cigarettes."
The report indicates that the average American cigarette is designed ~o burn from
2~ to 45 minutes wiithout being puffedlon. Most ~urniture fabrics, however, will ignite
in a ~ar shorter period of time, often smoldering for hours and finally bursting into
flame after the careless smoker -- and, frequently, others -- has left or gone to bed.
"The tragic results of this lethal combination of longrburning cigarettes and
i}=~r..~abl!e furniture fabrilcs, is detailed in the. report," the legislators sa.id. "What is
at issue now is the cul:-~ahility of the tobacco, i!ndustry iln this matter: Using their
- more -

well-known lobbying power andl financial! influence,. Big ~obacco has succeeded in killing
IL, gisl!ation addressing cigarette fiire safety on the. Federal level and tying up similar
legislla,tion in several states. Despite its adaman~ claims to the. contrary, we believe
that the tobacco i,ndustry is perfectly capable of produciing a fire-safe cigarette --
one which will, go ou~ in~ a short period o~ time when it i.s not beiing smoked."
The Tobacco Lobby iis employing~ ilts sophiisticatedl and well-funded lobbyists to
sial!l, obfuscate and fight the emerging truth.: that American cigarettes are loaded with
chemicals to make them burn longer. It is very tell.ing~, of course, that ~he same long-
burning cilgarettes allso mean~ big profits for ~he industry -- because smokers are forced
to buy more." ....
"A lot of attention has been paiid to the undeniabl;e ways in which cigarettes
cause slow death, and injury to smokers and others," Assemblyman John R. Branca, co-author
ef the report pointed out. "Far too li:ttle attention has been given so far to the sudden
deat~l and injury caused by cigarette related filres."
"T~he current adminiistration in,~Washington has made-i~ clear that its in~ent'is to
charge ~he states with the responsibility of protecting their own residents, we want it
made equally clear," the legislators said, "that New' York is ready to tare up that
challenge. I~f Big Tobacco has Congress trussed up so soundly that it cannot respond to
the daily horrors resulting ~rom cigarette-caused fires, then New Y, ork State .has the
responsibility to protect New. Yonkers from this clear and present danger. W.ith~n the next~
week, we will be announcing the introduction of legislation addressing the issue of
cigarettes and fire safety."'

NEW YO~K CITY -- A Manhattan man, who was the only
tenant in his building to refuse the installation of
a smoke detector, was critically burned yesterday in
a flash fire that started from a cigarette dropped in
a couch, fire officials reported.
Deputy Fire Chief John Rossi said the victim
apparently dropped a lighted cigarette between cushions
on his living room couch before going to bed. 'People
d~n't know that some couches take up to three hours to
smolder before the material catches fire," Rossi said.
---March 21, 1982
New York Daily News
~Names have been changed to protect the survivor's privacy.

It's an all too familiar story -- a carelessly dropped cigarette smolders
in a chair, couch or mattress, and in a few hours tragedy strikes, leaving a
trail of tears, injuries and deaths.
We all kn~w about these: fires. Pick up a paper, watch the evening news,
listen for the sirens in the night. Every day, son, where, someone dies, is
maimed, crippled, burned beyond recognition -- tragically, needlessly, repeatedly.
Cigarettes are the leading cause of death and injury in residential fires.
Almost one third of fire deaths and injuries occtmring in residential fires are
2
caused by smoldering cigarettes.
In 1980, 28. 4~. of New York's residential fires that killed were s~king,
related. There were over 500 cigarette-related fires in New York State. Twenty-
nine people died in those fires, 47 were seriously injured and close to $2 million
~rth of property was lost -- all preventably.
Both in hospitals and institutions for the mentally handicapped, cigarettes
are the leading cause Of fire. In homes for the aged, cigarettes are the second
leading camse of fire. 3
Cigarettes may be responsible for an even greater nu, nber of fires than
documented evidence suggests. According to figures provided by the New York State
Office of Fire Prevention and Control, the second leading cause of residential
fire deaths and injuries in New York was the 22.5 % of fires marked "Cause Unknown"'.
Andrew Maguire, executive director of the Burn Council in San Francisco and a fire
safety advDcate, believes that many such fires are actually cigarette caused.
Mr. Maguire cited a study c~nducted by Walter G. Berl, director of the applied
physics lab at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Berl plotted the course of almost all
of the home fires in Maryland between 1972 and 1977, in a study which is considered
probably the most extensive research on. fire causes ever c~nducted in the United

States. Dr. Berl's research shsws that nearly 457~ of the deaths he investigated
occurred in cigarette fires .4
Scientific studies have. fo~d that a freshly lit cigarette will bum for
between 20 and 45 minutes without being puffed. After I0 to 15 minutes, a lit
cigarette dropped onto a piece of upholstered, furniture will usually start to
smolder and flare. 5
Despite health and safety programs in schools, public service announcements
and other publ~c education efforts, people continue to smoke in bed, and they
continue to fall asleep in couches and chairs after carelessly leaving a lit
cigarette resting on an arm. There are estimates t/-mt up to 50?° of cigarette-
related fires may have involved someone who's been d~. 6 In the end,
however, it makes no difference .to the victim. _--_ ~
Although it is important to be aware of the death resulting from cigarette
fires, it is equally imperative to bear in mind the number and type of injuries
that these fires cause.
Burn Trauma is often severe and Lvery painful. --Disfigurement,. deformity and
loss of function ~ my require extremely difficult adjustments by the patient,
family and peers. The fact that society does not easily adjust to individuals
disabled or disfigured by such trau~ contributes to the overall disaffection,
alienation and rejection these victims face.7
Hospitalization is usually lengthy, often requiring months and years of ~.
~ and expensive treatments which tax the individual's and/or family's ~
financial resources to the breaking point Goverrmmnt and third party pa~ent ~D
• ~
systems are thus eventually involved, expanding the impact of such tragedies ~2~
economically i 8 ~
Jobs~ Careers and life patterns are drastically and frequently permanently
disrupted. The burn accident itself my have been accompanied by extensive property
loss or damage, which further contributes to the financial, psychological

and emotional damage suffered by the victim and the family. Victims, for example,
often exhibit adverse emotional reactions stemming from feelings of loss and guilt
9
for having caused the fire or for not having prevented it.
Cigarettes cause fires. Once that fact is accepted, the next logical step is
to inquire about prevention. How can the toll from these fires be reduced?
~miture manufacturers faced with increasing pressures to make their product
more fire resistant have encountered a variety of thorny dilenmas. For example, a
polyfoam mattress that is less vulnerable to being set afire by a burnir~ cigarette
is more vulnerable, unfort~ately, to ignition by an open flame such as a cigarette
lighter. Research has shown that resistance to smoldering combustion and to flandng
ignition are not at all the same thing. In fact, they tend to be mutually exclusive.
Very few materials are equally resistant to ignition by both, kinds of sources, i0
Polyurethane foam is inherently smlder-resistant. However, once polyurethane
does catch fire,-this petroleun-based material burns fast and hot, quickly generating
enough heat to make a whole room explode into an inferno.. It also generates unusually
large ammmts of toxic gases such as hydrogen cyanide. Firefighters call fires
started in such. synthetics "~lastic fires", which are widely regarded with trepida-
tion and dismay because of the poisonous smOke they emit. ii
Another suggested alternative is to treat furniture with flame-retardants.
Unfortunately, many flame retardants have been found to be mntagenic and possibly
carcinogenic. 12
Even if all the difficulties associated with producing fire-proof furniture
could be eliminated, one fundamental problem would remain. That is that older,
more flammable furr,~ture w~uld continue to be in use for many years to come. In
the meantime, cigarette fires would continue to exact a ghastly toll.

-4-
THE SELF-EKrlNGUISHING CIGARETTE - HARDLY A NEW IDEA
The question remains. What can be done to prevent these fires? The answer
is r~narkably simple: produce a self-extinguishing cigarette. It's an idea
that's been around for quite a while.
In 1950, the Reader"s Digest had this to say: "In England, Switzerland and
other co,retries abroad, people have been smoking slow-burning cigarettes -- and
liking them -- for years. In the United States, however, the tobacco industry
is not yet ready to make its product less of a fire hazard. The faster cigarettes
burn, the more are used, the bigger the sales.''13
In 1975, United States Senator Phillip Hart of Michigan introduced legislation
calling for fire-safe cigarettes which passed in the Senate, but was defeated in the
House. 14
In 1979, Congressman Joseph Moakley of Massachusetts first introduced the
Cigarette Safety Act, which sought to insure that cigarettes have a minimum capacity
for igniting fires.. In 1980, Senator Alan Cranston of California introduced the
Cigarette Safety Act in the Senate.
The bills have been re-introduced this session, but sources on Capitol Hill
give them little chance of passage. "The Tobacco Institute is just too: powerful,"
says one congressional aide.

In '~atal Fires in America", the National Fire Protection Associatio~ r~tes
that: '~ne cigarette is by far the most comr~n heat of ignition in fatal fires.
Recognizing this, the National Fire Protection Association has endorsed the campaign
of the ~merican Burn Association for self-extinguishing cigarettes. When not puffed
by the user, such cigarettes, go out in a time sh~rt enough to prevent ignition of

the mterials most c~ly involved in fatal fire scenarios. If such a cigarette
sP~)uld come into general use, the most c~-~n fat~1 fire scenarios will be broken,
~nd the resulting savings in lives will be dr~natically ~nd quickly realized.''17
The next logical question: Are the tobacco ccmpanies capable of producing a
self extinguishing cigarette?
The m~aer varies according to wh~m you ask.
Ask the Tobacco Institute, and you will get an emphatic '~o", with arguments
designed to convince the listener that the combined research facilities of this
multi-billion doll~r industry are unable to produce a: cigarette without the chemical
additives which produce the more profitable long-burning cigarette.
Ask Charles Cohn,. and he'll tell you '~es" without hesitation.
Then he'll tell you about his cigarette. ,
Charles Cohn holds U.S. patent #4,044,778 -- one of m~re than 20 patents for
cigarettes that go out quickly when they are mint puffed.
The treatment he has devised is very simple and inexpensive. He paints each.
cigarette with stripes of a well-known compound known as water glass (sodiun -
silicate).. As the cigarette burns, the stripes don't. They just melt a little,
relp~..~ing only their water content into the smoke. The g1~sy, unburned paper
stripes fore an insulating cage (easily knocked off with the ash). Even if the
cigarette is placed on a highly ~le surface, a fire cannot start because the
tip. stays cool. ~ cigarette goes out typically between one and three minutes
after the smoker takes the !~st puff. Since water glass is inert, it doesn't enter
the smoke, and thus poses no additiorml health hazard to the smoker.18
J~m~_s Winger, head of the Product Flanmability Reserarch Group of the National
Bureau of St~rds, tested one of Mr. Cohn's cigarettes on a highly f~,,,~hle fur-
niture mock-up. Mr. Winger speaks of Mr. Cohn's invention with the utmost respect,
saying '~here isn't any doubt from a technical standpoint. His cigarettes can be
made the way he says ~nd will do what he says.." 19

-6-
When. Mr. Cohn's cigarettes were tested at the California State Upholstered
~i~rniture Fire Test Lab in Sacramento, they performed perfectly, self-extinguishing
before the fabric was even scorched.20
Consurer acceptance of a novel cigarette is undoubtedly the industry's biggest
w~rry. Manufacturers think smokers won't like a cigarette that goes out. When
tested, Mr. Cohn's cigarette was found to stay lit well enough to satisfy the
average smoker (who statistically takes a drag once every minute)..21
In addition to ~.~r. Cohn' s invention~ self-extinguishing cigarettes are currently
being produced in New York State. Sherman cigarettes, ~ch ¢a_~-ry the guarantee that
they contain no chemical additives, generally go out in less than five minutes.
More cigarettes, in tests conducted by California's Bureau of Home Furnishings
in 1979,. were fo~md to be comparatively fire-safe. Although this may not have been
intended by the manufacturer, the very existence of More cigarettess tends to
disprove ~ industry's c1~m that they are unable to produce s;1~h a cigarette.
It is evidently the chemicals added to the cigarette that produce the long. burn.
It is ~ficult to determine what the added chemicals are, because tobacco c~@anies
refuse to discloSe the ingredients of ~ cigarettes. However, the fact that the
'%~o cb~mir~" brand~ ~erman's, de.self-extinguish is an indication that chemical
additives are responsible for the l~g bu~.
A Tobacco Institute spokesm~n, Wal~er Merryman, in explaining the industry's
opposition to development of a fire-safe cigarette, defends his product by placing
the blame on the careless smoker.
"One thing you have to: keep in mind is that these cigarette fires don't occur
in a vacuum", says Merryman. "As many as half those fires happen when an excessive
a~mmt of alcohol and/or drugs has been used." 22
But there is more at issue here than the relative guilt of the smoker.
According to David Pittle, a m=mher of the United States Consumer Product Safety
C~,,,,~ ssion who has been involved with cigarette fire safety for m~ny years,

'The person ~ho accidentally sets the fire is not always the only person killed.
Often times it is little children or older people in the next room who are killed.
,,23
They are the ones l~ast likely to escape.
Another reason that The Tobacco: Institute opposes such legislation is that,
according to their members, the tedmology that has been developed to cause cigar-
ettes to self-extinguish %Duld increase tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide output,
thereby further jeopardizing the health of smok~_rs. 24
There is an interesting point to note here: In a study done by the United
States Department of Health, Education and Welfare on Charles Cohn's cigarettes,
his invention was found to give off 257~ less tar, nicotine and carbon mmuoxide
per puff to the smoker than an average, non-fire safe cigarette. 25
In light of The Tobacco Institute's vehement stance that there is no conclusive
evidence that cigarettes are harmful to the health of smokers, it se~ns inconsistent
for that same organization to argue against self-extinguishing cigarettes on. the
basis of health concerns.
CONCIIJSION: ~qE CASE FOR A SELF EXTINGLrlSHING CIGARETTE
Conclusive evidence which has been widely docon~nted indicates that long-
burning cigarettes are responsible for untold fire deaths and suffering in this
co,retry and tk,~s State. The case for a self-extinguishing cigarette is clearly
in the public interest. Opposition to it has come solely from the tobacco industry.
On the Fed~al level, Big Tobacco has stymied legislative atteupts to deal with
this problem through employing its ~ll-funded, highly trained and widespread network
of lobbyists, legal staff and campaign contributors. For a variety of political and
regional reasons, it has been left to the states to address this issue on their own.
The implications for the State of New York are well defined and immediate.
Every y~;r~ we delay action on this issue, approximately 30 New Yorkers will die
and many more will suffer from the hideous effects of cigarettes..

-8-
The time to act is now. Legislation is urgently needed in ~w York State
to address this problem and to insure t_hat no New Yorkers will have to, suffer and
die needlessly f-r~m fires that can be prevented by re~ring self-extinguishing
cigarettes.

ALAN JEFFRY' BRESLAU
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Two weeks, before Christmas, 1977, Betty Brinkley's husband had been drinking,
as he usually did. He fell asleep in an, easy chair whil~e smoking. The fire
that resu~Ited, killed him, as wel:l a;s. h~is three ch~ildren, two girl!s and a, boy.
Betty somehow managed to get out of their burning~ house and survived. The home,
and; all of their possessions were destroyed, except for a photograph album,
which Betty cherishes because iit is the only link to her children.:
B~tty was severely burned in the fire, with fllames consuming almost a
quarter of her body. Her face wa,s. almost destroyed, as well as her ha,nds, arms,
neck a~nd: torso. She was whisked by' hel'icopter to Crozer-Chester Burn Cen~er.,
in Upland, Pennsyl:vania, and ever since ha;s been unde~goin~ surgery there. She
has undergone 38 surgical procedu,res so fa:r, and wi:ll probably quit before her
reconstructive ~lastic surgery is completed by Dr. John McC1elll:an, who, estimates
iit w.ill take fifty su:rg,ical: procedures to get Betty back to what would be con~
siidered. "normal." Betty's burn surgeon, who, hel~ed her through the. acute ~hase,
was Dr. (~ha~rles [. Ha:rtflord, Director of the burn cen~er.:
Betty resides at 4110 Thirdl Street, UpQand, Chester, Pennsylvaniia 19013
(]telephone 215/876-2225), i,n order to be close to the burn center, ~he fire
took i]~ace on l)ecember Iii', 1977 in Camden, New Jersey. Because of careless
smoking, Betty has had to suffer what seem to be insurmountable horrors. A'll
of th~s could have been prev.en:ted.

Thirtieth in a series~
saves lives.
Cigarettes can kill.
Nobody. this side of the tobacco lobby
-- not; even most: smokers k will dispute
that.
Bur some cigarettes are more likely to
killi than others.
That's why we'd like to offer a few kind
words for a cigarette that is a little less lethal
than most.
All cigarettes,, of course, would be bet-
ter snuffed out.
But; for those people who can't kick the
habit yetk and for the rest of us, took we
think more consideration should be given to
the self-extinguishing, cigarette.
What's a self-extinguishing cigarette?
A potential! wonder of tobacco tech-
nology that will not do many important
things:
Iv will not ignite the approximately.
70,000 residential fires started by standard
cigarettes each year in the U.S.
It willl not cause the nearly 2,000,
deaths and 5,000 injuries.which make ordin-
ary cigarettes, year after year, the major
source of residential! fires.
And it will not be responsible for prop-
erty losses estimate& at between $1.5 andl
$2 billion annually.
The reason is, a self-extlnguishing
cigarette goes: out within approximately, five
minutes if it is not puffed.
Today's conventional cigarettes do not.
Unpuffed, they will continue to smolder for
up to 45 minutes ~ plenty of time to ignite
most household furniture, which usual-
ly can resist burning for no more than ten,
minutes.
A self-extinguishing,. "five-minute
cigarette" wouldl reduce the incidence of res-
idential fires dramatically.
It would also help the nation:s dimin-
ishing number of fire-fighters, wtto are tak-
ing the heat: from budget-cutting officials.
Andl don't forget: the thousands of
guests in America's hotels. For them, that
untended cigarette in the next room, is
always a: fearsome tlhreat. But a self-
extinguishing cigarette means less danger,
more peace of mind.
In, Europe, all this has already hap-
pened.
Self.extinguishing cigarettes are com-
monplace there; cigarette-caused fires are
not. And fire death rates in Europe are less
than half that of the United States.
Can Americans have a cigarette that
stops burning before it starts fires?
Yes: Right now,.there are almost thirty
U.S. patents for making such a product.
Indeed,. two~ national brands available
today are self-extinguishing cigarettes. Their
public relations representatives refuse to call
them by. that name. And their marketing
people never mention it in their ads. Yet,
unpuffed, both brands self-extinguish within
five minutes.
There seems to be a powerful myth in
the tobacco industry that insists America's
smokers will reject~ a self-extinguishing
cigarette as bad-tasting and inconvenient.
Or that converting to the "five-minute
cigarette" willl increase tar levels.
But, the current quick-burnout brands
prove the contrary:: Sales.are doing fine; the
inconvenience problem apparently doesn't
exist; andl one of the two brands is among
the lowest tar and:nicotine cigarettes on the
market!
Maybe it'g time for you smokers to ex-
plain things: to the tobacco companies.
They'lli pay attention, because you're their
best customers:
Tell them you realize that, when your
idling cigarette continues to burn~ it's your
money going up in smoke ~ and you're
already buying enough cigarettes.
Tell them, too, that you~ like to smoke.
But you~like your, furniture even more~ And
your home. And your life.
Meanwhile, the rest of us should be
explaining things to our legislators. Remind-
ing them that the first: Cigarette Safety. Act
to protect the public was introduced-
unsuccessfully ~ in, 1 .975. ~
And not much, has
happened since then,
Ask the legisla-
tors, why not? Get
their attention.
Because you are
their best, customers,
and you deserve an

PHILIP MORRIS
100 PAR~ AVENUE, NEW YOR~ N.Y. 10017

Dear Sam :
Disturbing comments from, key Albany legislators
confirm our belief that a failure by industry
lobbyists to take basic actions on the New York
restrictive smoking bill led: to our embarrassing
defeat this week in, the New York Assembly.
Sam, we were defeated: during a New York legisla-
tive procedure known as a "fast roll call." That
is, legislators not on the floor during the vote
(or those on the floor who do not request they be
recorded in the negative) are automatically re-
corded as voting "yea."
Tobacco Institute pre-vote, tabulations indicated
that the bill's sponsor, Assemblyman Grannis,
had, at best, 70 votes. Our industry had commit-
ments from 77 legislators. When the vote was
taken there were no more than 100 legislators
present in the Assembly Chambers.
This defeat, by a vote of 84-59, could: have been
prevented had industry lobbyists properly re-
quested in advance a "slow roll call," which
would have necessitated recording an accurate
count of all legislators present. An additional
option, would have been a request for "reconsid-
eration" of the vote by which the Assembly
passed the Grannis bill. These fundamental
actions, of course, are usually planned by
lobbyists with supporting legislators prior to
a vote.

Mr. Samuel D. Chilcote,'Jr.
April i, 1982
Page 2
Sam,, we are further convinced that Assembly
leaders stayed out of the debate on the Grannis
bill and did not work the floor to solicit
support for passage of this legislation.
Here are some of the comments we received from
a few of our legislative supporters following
the vote (I will be happy to provide additional
details):
"Stan, I don't think your lobbyists
understand the process. We had our
votes for you."
what happened to your people?"
"What are you guys doing with those
lobbyists?"
"I checked with my legislative colleagues
and was told that none of them had been
asked by T.I. lobbyists to request a slow
roll call."
Assemblyman Vince Graber, who was in the Speaker's
Chair at the time of the Assembly floor vote told
us :
"No one ever requested a slow roll
call on the Grannis bill. I was
really taken aback that no one did
so. This is not automatic under
our Assembly rules. Someone must
actually request it."

W~Lile we get invited to many receptions and get-togethers during our tour
in Albany, this was easily one of the grandest and most pleasant.
On a business matter, I was hoping you might be of some help.
I know that The Tobacco._Institute .h~s ,._in. the past, co.udssioned bi-~,',,~ual__

subsequent study which ~uld have been completed in 1980 or 1981.
Again, thank you for the reception.

On a flight back from Albany, Monday, 2/15, Assembly Speaker
Stanley Fink confirmed reports that he would not take an
active role this year to seek passage of the Grann~s Anti-
Smoking Bill. Fink further stated that "you guys can defeat
the bottle bill(s) and the Grannis bill if you play your hand
right." In an obviously relaxed and loquacious mood, Fink
continued: "If I were a lobbyist, I would organize all of
the Mom and Pop stores, the bodegas and the food merchants...
get them working on the legislators right now. To. hell with
the d:istributors. Have those little and big stores talk about

BACKGROUND
It is anticipated that Assemblyman Alexander "Pete" Grannis will
quickly move his Clean Indoor Air Act in the New York Assembly
early in 1982. This legislation passed the New York Assembly
in 1981 by a vote of 81-55 and remained pending in the Senate
Health Committee where no action was taken during the year. In
1981 there were 69 Assembly co-spOnsors,.and 24 Senate co-sponsors.
Because this bill Will soon be considered again in the Assembly,
it is necessary that opposition to the Assembly membership be
expressed as early as possible.
You will recall my September 10, 1981 Action Request which you
approved allowing member company TAN volunteers to participate
in. a select "Meet Your Legislator"' program. This pro.gram has
been implemented and yielded valuable information from leg.isla-
tors. However, a number of legislators have declined an invi-
tation to meet with. our enrollees after normal business hours.
Because I view the information gathered from this effort to be
most important. I believe that conducting additional meetings
with our targetted legislators during normal business hours
would; be in, the best in,terest of our overall program, [see
Action Request item i)i.
ACTION REQUESTED
Your permission for the New York State Area. Director
to request company TAN! enrollee volunteers to con-
tinue further meet-your-legislator meetings. Where
necessarY, these meetings may take place during nor-
mal business hours.

ACTION REQUEST:
January 27, 1982

(EXHIBIT B)
Dear (Personalized):
While I hope you have had an enjoyable holiday season, it
is now time to. turn our thoughts to other matters as next
year's holiday may not be as enloyable. Why? Because in
a short time your Assemblyman will have an opportunity to
Vote against you and your livelihood when the Grannis No-
Smoking Bill comes up.for a vote. This bill, as you know,
would severly restrict smokers' rights and cripple our in-
dustry.
TIME IS SHORT!
If you would take a few moments to write to Assemblyman
(name) , (address) , please express your opposition
to any legislation which restricts smokers' constitutional
rights. Indeed, the national mood supports the supposi-
tion that more government is bad for our country's econ-
omy. The answer lies in less government intrusion,:not~
more bad laws and bureaucracy.
If you agree this legislation is uncalled for, I urge
you to write your Assemblyman today. I have enclosed
for your information a brief fact sheet that explains
the problems associated with this type of restrictive
legislation and a list of quotes of what other organi-
zations have had to say about it in the past.
Please take the time to write your letter today. Your
legislator needs to. hear your feelings prior to voting
on this important issue. Should he/she respond to
your letter, I would appreciate receiving a copy in
the enclosed self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Again, thank you for your help in this important matter,
YOUR LETTER COUNTS.
Sincerely,
Enclosures
P.S. Remember, all Assemblymen are up for reelection in
1982. Your letter will get their attention.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Your State Legislators are considering several anti-tobacco measures that
would prohibit smoking in public places except in designated smoking areas.
The places of wo~rk mean any indoor area in which two or more persons work.
Indoor area open to the pubiic includes, restaurants, retail stores, arenas,
meeting rooms, and many other places.
So:me questions and answers about the impact of this llegislation on New York-
ers and its businesses and industries.:
Q -- What would this law do?
A -- It would prohibit smoking, except in certain designated areas, in all
public places, and places of work.
Q -- What does "place of work" mean?
A -- It is defined as any indoor area in which two or more persons work,
but excludes factories and private enclosed offices.
Q -- ..What kinds of pub.lic places are covered?
A -- All kinds: offices, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, bowling
alleys, barber and beauty shops, banks., arenas, supermarkets; virtual-
ly every public place.
Q -- How about 9overnment owned facilities?
A-- They're covered too.
Q-- What. about areas where, smokin, g could be _permitted~-
A -- The owner of a public place could designate an area where smoking is
allowed, but must purchase and place signs to that effect in the pub-
lic place.
Q-- How about a smoker .and non-smoker who work to~ether and share an office?
A -- Too bad. The bill only exempts private offices occupied exclusively by
smokers. Other o.ffices require separation of smokers and: non-smokers by
designated areas.
Q -- Who enforces this law?
A -- The owner or person in charge of the public place, the police, sheriffs,
or the health department would be responsible for impllementing and en-
forcing the law.
Q -- can a violator of this law be arrested?
A -- Yes - and the rinse for each violation is $I00. The owner or person in
charge can also be fined for not poliicing this law.
Q -- Who makes sure the law is enforced? And bow do...they do it?
A -- The Department of Health would adopt rules, to implement the law, spend
thousands of doliliars to hire and train personnel, seek iegislation to
make them peace officers empowered to issue summons, and thus create ad-
ditional burdens on the Courts.

Q -- Don't the police have better thin,is to do "than to apprehend smokers?
A -- They have repeatly said so in public testimony before numerous legis-
lative bodies.
Q -- Are there any exceptions-to the law where publ)ic places are notcovered
by the law?
A -- Several - a bar, a place of work with less than once thousand square
feet of floor area, a restaurant or cafeteri~a with I00 or less seats,
and a lobby and public mall.
Q -- I have no prolblem with my employees. They have not requested smoking
and non-smo.kin9 areas. Woul)d I still have to comply with the l!aw?
A -- Yes - you would; have to place your smoking employees in the designatedl
smoking area. If they can't be relocated, they could' only smoke d:uring
a break.
Q -- It sounds like the 9overnment is forcing) people to take a restroom
break so they can catch a quick smoke.
A -- That's what is likely to happen, reducing employee productivity.
Q -- Isn't all this le~islatin9:workin9 conditions without the Consent of
labor or manaqement?
A -- Of course it is!
Q -- What is the economic impact of such a law?
A -- The cost to the State would be monumental. Increased police department
budgets for enforcement., loss of business by hotel and conventions, de-
crease in tax revenue to the state, loss of numerous jobs, costs of buy-
ing signs, physical reconfigurations to office designs, etc.
Q -- Has such legislation been workable in the past?
A -- Ask the New York City Department of Health w~n it tried to. enforce its
resolution of July 25, 1974, restricting smoking in certain public places.
They arrested some 74 persons and fined 30 of them between $5 and $25.
Warrants were issued fo.r the arrest of others who failled to. appear for
trial, and several cases were dismissed and enforcement was finally dis-
continued. Experiences in other jurisdictions with similar laws shows
more of the same unenfo.rceability.

RESTRICTIVE SMOKING PROPOSALS - WHAT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE SAID ABOUT THEM
"The New York-AFL-CIO expresses its opposition to this bill. . The bill is
discriminatory.., imposes restrictions on proprietors of pu,~lic places that
are unenforceabl~e... There is no reliable evidence that would necessitate
this. kind of legislation."
NEW YORK STATE AFL-CIO
"The Business Council's underlying complaint with the subject bill is that it
co.ntemplated legislating a practice which is better left to resolution on an.
in~dividual basis. Surely by now, employers, employees, and the public they
serve are sensitized to the controversey regarding the comfort and health im-
plications of the passive inhalation of smoke."
THE BUSINESS COUNCIL OF NEW YORK
STATE
"The Chamber strongliy urges disapproval of this bill because it would create
severe and undue economic hardship on places of public accommodation., and
could not realistilcallly be enforced in any event. Similarly, the proposed re-
strictio.ns on the work place would be chaotic, and costly."
NEW' YORK CHAMBER: OF COMMERCE AND
INDUSTRY
"To restrict a restaurant patron's right to smoke at the concl)usion of his meal
remind;s us of bringing back prohibition... The food service industry today is
burdened: with myriads of regulations, rulings and laws. . To add to thils bur-
den and particularly where we would have to confront our patrons in the role of
a pol;iceman, is to add to our predicament."
NEW YORK STATE RESTAURANT ASSOCIA-
TION
"We further oppose this legislation on the grounds that it disrupts the work-
place without duly compensating our members. The Public Employees Federation
believe that smoking is a basic choice of our membership and shou,ld not be taken
from us legislatively."
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FEDERATION
"This legislation at best will be most difficult to enforce and will require in-
spectors and other personnel to be available and on the alert for inspection
during the business hours of the places affected. In the cases of bars and res-
taurants, these hours are principally evenings and weekends. Enforcement of the
mandate of this legislation will be most difficult except when the various place
specified are in operation or conducting business."
NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES
"Nuisance legislation of this type generally effects minorities and poor people.
to a further degree than others. It also would be a waste of law enforcement time
and effort to even attempt to enforce laws of this nature. The limited amount of
personnel that we do have could better spend their time in making our neighbor-
hoods safe."
NATIONAL BLACK POLICE ASSOCIATION.
"Provisions of the legislation requiring the hospitality industry in the state
to act as the arm of the law by enforcing smoking and no smoking zones are not
feasible. Owners and managers of facilities would find it impossible to jeopar-
dize customer relations by insisting upon strict compliance."
NEW YORK CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU

"This bill can jeopardize customer relations and can add a substantial addi-
tional cost in reconstruction of established properties. Local managers of
hospitality establishments should not lose the flexibility to establish pro-
cedures which they feel adapt to the preference to their customers."
NEW' YORK STATE HOTEL AND MOTEL
ASSOCIATION
"Such a law: would be a harassment to the thousands of men and; women bowlers
who enjoy a healthy and wholesome sport on a regular weekly basis .... Such
a law would b.e impossible to enforce in any bowling center and any attempts
by a bowling proprietor to force the regulations upon his customers would,
without a doubt, result in a curtailment of their bowling activities."
NEW YORK STATE BOWLING PROPRIE-
TORS ASSOCIATION.
"Suffice to say that to. enact legislation of this type is not practical,
feasible, nor enforceable, and we urge that such legislation be defeated."
HOTEL ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK
CITY
"Restaurants can voluntarily restrict or prohibit smoking now:, if their cus-
tomers demand it. . There is a stated objective of improving the business
climate in New York State. The proposed bill will only make it more diffi-
cult to do. business in New York State."
UNITED RESTAURANT, HOTEL, TAVERN
ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK STATE
"This bill puts extreme economic pressures on many groups.., and we all
know that our economy is of great importance at these times The New York
State Association of Chiefs of Police does not feel that this'b~lli can be
properly enforced, nor the public will encourage the proper enforcement of
this Iegislation."
NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION! OF
CHIEFS OF POLICE

Punitive Lezislation To, Rezulate Smoking In Public Irlaces In The

We the undersigned residents of New York State, recognizing that smo:king

enacting any laws restricting the free association o£ people in our state
5~sed on the persorml choice to s~ke or not to smoke.
We further suF~est that legislation "reEulatinE smoking in public places
is unnecessary, unreasonable, unenforceable and will prove costly to
both private enterprise and public entities within our state.
Finnlly, we request the members: of the Legislature.to leave the question
o£ smsking in public places to be resolved by the courtesy and under-
stamling o£ thepeople of the State.

Assembly on March ii, 1981, by a vote of 81-55. In addition to
S. 2400, the Senate Health Committee has before it a second bill,
S. 3307, which would .reverse the provision of S. 2400 in that all
areas would be left as smoking except for specified areas set aside
as non-smoking. A. Z746/S. 2400 has 69 co-sponsors in the Assembly
and 24 in, the Senate. S. $307 has 17 Senate co-sponsors. S. 240.0/
S. 330.7 are pending in the Senate Health Committee. The legislature
has recessed for the summer without taking any action on either bill.
ACTIiON REQ.NES TED

A report will be completed after each meeting, detailing
each State Legislator's position on various pieces of
legislation. With the advice and consent 'of New York
counsel, 27 legislators have been targetted for meetings
with TAN! volunteers in the first phase of this program.
It is counsel's feeling that these individuals are the
most likely to be open-minded on the merits of the indus-
try's positions.
Each meeting will include a discussion of the economic
impact of the industry in the district, taxes paid, and
the impact on related industries. The Garfinkel and
Hirayama press release information will be distributed
along with smoking and health literature, and a copy of
the compendium of organizations opposed to the Clean
Indoor Air Act will be distributed.

Stanley S. Scott
Bernie Robinson
Date: 4/13/81
TI Review Session on "Grannis Bill"
New York City, 4/10/81
Current Statues
According to the indus.try's New York lobbyists,
i. "The Grannis Bill won't pass the State Senate
(S2400/A2746)"
2. "The Johnson Bill won't pass the State Senate
($3307)"
3. The State Senate may well pa~ss some "watered down"
version of an anti-smoking bill.
4. ~ssemblyma~n Grann,is and some Senators are intensively
pushing for a bill this year and more Senators than
before are leaning in favor of "some form of a bill".
Timing
Once the state budget battle is resolved (probably this week),
the New York legislature will take their annual spring holi-
day recess. At this time,, it doesn't appear as though the
Senate will move on th,is ma:tter before the la:st two weeks
in May.
Current Strategy
i. Continue one-on-one lobbying~ with each of the 60
member State Senate.
2. Substantially increase industry effort to generate
letters to the State Senate (The TAN field staff has organ-
ized a telephone campaign to TAN members).
3. Organize TAN meetings with individuai State Senators
in their home dlistricts.
4. Continue to expand coalition, opposing these bills.

RE :
New York Assembly Bill 2746.
PUI~POSE
The purpose of this memo is twofold: 61] to alert you to the
possibility of an Assembly floor vote on Wednesday, March II,
1981 and to advise that the measure may pass the Assembly
based upon our projected roll call vote; and, [2) to request
authorization for the activities mentioned below to commence
immediately in the event we are unable to postpone con.sidera-
tion of the measure on the floor, or if A. 2746 is passed
by the Assembly.
CURRENT BACKGROUND
As you know, this is the fifth year that the entire Assembly
has considered this measure; last year in the Assembly it
received ten more votes-than necessary for passage. The
leadership also "worked the bill on the floor" last year,
thus insuring that a projected close vote was changed to
one which, passed comfortably.
This year it is not clear that the leadership will work the
bill on the floor. However, the leadership has assisted
proponents in securing swift consideration of the measure
[i.e., approximately a month from introduction to floor
consideration). Our lobbyists have met with each member
of the Assembly as well as with the "leadership'" and have
been advised by the latter that they wish to '"immediately
dispose of this bill and get working on the budget "
•
Technically, the bill may be considered on the Assembly
floor as early as Tuesday, March I0.

New York Assembly Bill 2746
March 9, 1981
Page Two
Both parties will caucus on Monday and/or Tuesday and are
expected to consider caucus positions on the measure at
that time. Our legislative counsel has. arranged for oppo~
nents of the measure to speak in both caucuses, as the
proponents surely will do also.
In the unlikely even.t that a dealy in floor consideration
is granted, the organizational efforts you previously
authorized are not likely to have had time for a favorable
impact. For good order~s sake, it is appropriate to out~
line herein those activities:

Stanley S. Scot~
Grannis Bill approved in Assembly
Date:
March ii, 198:1
The New York restrictive smoking bill sponsored by
Assemblyman Alexander "Pete''~ Grannis was approved
today by a vote of 76-58 in the Assembly. Seventy-
six votes were needed for passage of the bill. We
are told that Assembly Speaker Stan.ley Fink cast
the 76th vote.
This same legislation passed the Assembly last year
by a vote of 86-50. Some legislators traditionally
switch their votes for the record after a bill has
been approved, and we can expect the final recorded
vote on the Grannis bill to read (probably) 81-55.
Grannis, incidentally, was able to introduce his
bill this year with 73 sponsors.
We will be meeting at the Tobacco Institute tomorrow
to analyze the vote and map. strategy on this legis-
lation which now may go to the New York State Senate.
This bill did not gain an introduction in. the Senate
last year.

BACKGROUND
As you are aware, Assemblyman Alexander '"Pete" Grannis has
introduced A. 2746/S. 2400 in the 1981 sessionof the New
York Legislature and A. 2746 has now passed through the
Assembly Health and Codes Committees, My TAN Action Request
to you of February 20 requests your approval of actions by
member company TAN enrollees in opposition to this legislation.
Due to'an imminent floor vote in the Assembly, this request
seeks additional actions of a non,TAN related! nature which
will greatly assist the overall effort of opposition to A. 2746.
SUPPORT DESIRED
The following additional activities by your company personnel
would be extremely helpful:
The designation by you of a special company volun-
teer to supplement your involvement in coordinating
the activities enumerated below. I£ is suggested~
th.is volunteer be from your corporate public affairs
department.
This volunteer would initiate a dialogue with
your suppliers in.New York State to urge that
they oppose this legislation.
This volunteer would initiate a dialogue with
your sampling, outdoor and print advertising
accounts to urge that they oppose this legis-
lation."

New York A. 2746/S. 2400
March 5, 1981
Page Two
This volunteer would develop a program with
n,on-tobacco related subsidiaries in your
corporation within New York State to urge
that they oppose this legislation.
According to local counsel in New York, the above actions
should begin immediately.
A legal analysis has been completed by Covington ~ Burling
of the New York State lobbying laws. It is their judgment
that the designated special volunteer must register as a
lobbyist if that person reasonably anticipates receiving
and/or expending $i,000 or more, including allocable salary,
in connection with such activity. This person will be
required to file periodic and annual reports, and the member
company will be required to file an. annual report,
If you have any questions relative to the above, please feel
free to contact Mike Kerrigan,

100 PARK AVENUE. NEW YORK, N,Y, 10017
March 3, 1981
Dear Cliff::
For the fifth consecutive year Alexander "Pete"
Grannis (D-68-New York) has introduced A.2746, a
comprehensive restrictive smoking bill. The measure
has been favorably reported by both the Assembly Health
and Codes Committees. The date for consideration by the
full Assembly has not yet been determined.
As you know from last year, the same bill passed
the Assembly by a vote of 86-50. Fortunately, the bill
stalled in the Senate Health Committee. Once again we
have encouraged all Philip Morris employees living in
New York (sales force and i00 Park Avenue) to write their
Assembl~men and express their concerns over the proposal.
Your assistance by encouraging Miller Brewing Company
employees living in New York to write their Assemblymen
would be very helpful in our effort to stop passage of
A.274:6. I am. sure the letters genera:ted by Miller employees
last year to the Chairman~ of the Senate Health Committee
were instrumental in sta:11ing ~h.e proposal.
I have enclosed a copy of the ma:terial sent to our
employees for your use. Please call me if you have any
commen,ts or suggestions.
Since:rely,
Mr. Clifford D. Williams
Director of Government Affairs

EXHIIBIT C
Dear :
During the next month your industry will come under heavy
pressure in the New York State Legislature. Your personal
action is necessary now if we, are to be successful in, our
defense of the indust-~. Assembly b.i~l 2746/Senate bill 24i00
would make it a crime to smoke in various places in the State
of New York. We are opposed to: this leg.is.lation for the
following, reasons:
The bi~l creates a new crime -- the crime of smoking
in public.
The police would be drawn away from enforcement of
real crimes.
Prosecutions will add additional burdens to the
courts.
4. The cost of implementing such a law to the taxpayer
is an unnecessary one.
The bill infringes on the rights of local city
governments and other boards to govern their own
meetings.
The bill infringes on the right of the owner of a

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
EXHIBIT D
Assembly Bill A. 2746 would prohibit smoking in public places
except in designated smoking areas. The places of work mean
any indoor area in which two or more persons work. Indoor area
open to the public includes restaurants, retail stores, arenas,
meeting rooms, and many other places. This legislation will be
considered by the New York State Legislature in the coming weeks.
Some questions and~ answers about the impact of this legislation
on New Yorkers and its businesses and industries:
Q -- What would this law do?
A -- It would prohibit smoking, except in certain designated
areas, in all public places, and places of work.
Q -- What does "place of work" mean?
A -- It is defined as any indoor area in which two or more persons
work, but excludes factories and private enclosed offices.
Q --What kinds of public places are covered?
A --. All kinds: offices, restaurants, stores, shoppingmalls,
bowling alleys, barber and beauty shops, banks, arenas,
supermarkets; virtually every public place.
Q -- How about government owned labilities?
A -- They're covered too.
Q -- What about areas where smoking could be permitted?
A -- The owner of a public pl.ace could designate an area where
smoking is allowed, but must purchase and place signs to
that effect in the public place. :
Q -- How about a smoker and non-smoker who work to~ether and share
an office?
A -- Too bad. The bill only exempts private offices occupied
exclusively by smokers. Other offices require separation of
smokers and non-smokers by designated areas.
Q -- Who enforces this. law?
A -- The owner or person in charge of 1he public place, the police,
sheriffs, or the health department would be responsible for
implementing and enforcing the law.
Q -- Can a violator of this law be arrested?
A -- Yes - and t~e fine for each violation is $I00. The owner or
person in charge can also be fined for not policing this law.
Q-- Who makes sure the law is enforced? And how do they do: it?
A -- The D~partment of Health would adopt rules to implement the
law, spend thousands of dollars to hire and train personnel,
seek legislation to make them peace officers empowered to
issue summons, and thus create additional burdens on the Courts.

-2-
Q -- Don't the police have better things to do than to apprehend
~mokers?
A -- TH~y--3"~ve repeatedly said so in public testimony before
numerous legislative bodies.
Q -- Are there any exceptions to. the law where public places are
not covered by the law?
A -- Several - a bar, a place of work with less than one thousand
square feet of flocr area, a restaurant or cafeteria with
i00 or less seats, and. a lobby and public mall.
Q -- I have no problems with my employees. They have not requested
smoking and non-smoking areas. Would I still have to comply
with the law?
A -o Yes - you would have to place your smoking employees in the
designated smoking area. If they can't be relocated, they
could only smoke during a break.
Q-- It sounds like the ~overnment is forcin~ people to take a
~estroom break so trey can catch a quicx smoke.
A -- That's what""is likely to happen, reducing employee productivity.
Q -- Isn't allthis'legislating working conditions without the consent
of labor or management? _.
A --'Of course it is! ......
.
Q -- What is the economic impact of such a law?
A -- The cost to the State would be monumental. Increased police
department budgets for enforcement, loss of business by hotels
and conventions~ decrease in tax revenue to the state, loss
of numerous jobs, costs of. buying signs, physical reconfigura-
tions to office designs, etc. .-
Q -- Has such legislation been workable in the past?
A -- Ask the New York City Department of Health when it tried to
enforce its resolution of July 25,.1974, restricting smoking
in certain public places. They arrested some 74 persons and
fined 30 of them between $5 and $25. Warrants were issued for
thearrest of the others who failed to appear for trial, and
several cases were dismissed and enforcement was finally.
discontinued. ~xperiences in other jurisdications wi%h
similar laws shows more of the same unenforceability.

A. 2746: WHAT OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT

"To restrict a restaurant patron's right to smoke at the conclusion
of his meal reminds us of bringing, back prohibition. The food

"Ours is an extremely competitive industry and this proposed

"Further restrictions on smoking would affec~ the rights of one

Dear George:
Thank you for sha:ring with me copies of your letters
to Senators Anderson and Ohrenstein regarding
S 1968-D, the Grannis bil, l in, ~he New York Legislature.
You~ make a number of excellent points, which shou,ld, be
very persuasive with bo~h of these senate leaders.
The Philip Morris effort on, this and other bad bills
has been, ou~s.tanding. With some support we continue
to be optimistic about the fa,vorable outcome of these
bills.

Dear Senator Anderson:
I want to register my strong, opposition
to S1968-D, which would prohibit er restrict
smoking in most "public places". The bill
encourages the intrusion of the state into
private matters and produces resu~its counter
to the true purpose of the goverr~nent.
Even some supporters of smoking prohibi-
tions, such as S1968-D, concede that such laws
are unenforceable and discriminatory. Members
of the New York State Restaurant Association
have voluntarily initiated divided smoker/non-
smoker sections. These "market demands" experi-
ments have met with very limited acceptance.
They have imposed costs, increased meal prices
and caused seating problems. The Restaurant
Association's opposition to S1968-D is appropriately
based on the failure of these prototype programs
in Seattle, Minneapolis and elsewhere.
Furthermore, there is. concern among many
law enforcement authorities (such as Gerald
Lynch,, President of John Jay College of Criminal
Justice), as well as students of society (such
as Russell Baker, William Safire, and Malcolm
Forbes), that too many unenforced laws bring
a generalized disrespect for the law, and there-
fore, for government as a whole. We believe
that the citizens of New York need' no new laws
to be flouted.
We further raise the question as to whether
we need a new law on the books that could intimi-
date a portion of our population. Chicago is a
case in point. They passed: an an,ti-smoking
ordinance, and it is pointed out that 90 percent
of those arrested for violations were from minority
and low income groups-- which proves the law could
be enforced, in. a: discriminatory manner.

-2-
I think it is safe to say that smoking
prohibitions w~ll adversely affect state and
city revenues while, at the same time, in-
creasing the cost of government. Many mayors
have opposed this bill for these and other
reasons, including Lee Alexander of Syracuse
and Ed Koch of New York City. The negative
impact of such bills on tourism should not be
dlisregarded. General tax ~osses are also
potentially significant.
Much has been, madie recently of the New
England Journal of Medlicine article by
Drs. White and Froeb, which may be a "study"
quoted in your deliberations. This article is
strongly at variance with both. the Surgeon
General Report of 1978! and Congressional
hearing:s on the effects of so-called "passive"
smoking in 1979. The New England Journal of
Medicine, in its editorial comment on the
White/Froeb study, also noted that the evidence
presented was sparse and incomplete and that no
evidence of physiological damage on non-smokers
had~ yet been established.
Philip. Morris, as you may know, has major
business interests in the state of New. York. We
add well over $i billion a year to the state's
economy in terms of purchases, salaries, wages
and fringes. During the next three years, we
plan to invest more than $100 million in job-
creating capital expenditures in the state, in-
cluding a new corporate headquarters in New. York
City. We are making major commitments to New
York because we believe in its fu.ture. We do feel,
however, that S1968-D could be injurious to our
business, and to the climate for doing: business,
in this state.
For all these reasons, Senator, I am asking
for your active support to defeat this unwise
legislation,.

TITLE
AN, ACT to amend the public health law, in
relation to protecting the public health,
comfort and environmen~t by prohibiting
smoking in public plaices andl at public
meeting~ except in designated~ smoking~
areas and' to repeal article thirteen-F
of such law relating thereto
SUMMARY OF This bill repeals Article 13.F of the Public
PROVISIONS Health law and is amended by adding a new
article 13.F to. prohibit smoking in public areas
in order to. protect the public health, comfort and environment.
REASONS FOR ~f enacted., this proposal would make smoking
OPPOSITION illegal in countless public and private places
and establish that a violation of its provisions
would be pun.ishable by a fine of not more £han
$25.00 for the first violation, and not more than~ $100:.00, for each
successive violation. In so doing, it would significantly increase
mandated activities of the City of New York without providing
commensurate revenues to carry out these mandates. In a time of
fiscal austerity, it is inappropriate to create slgnificant
additional burdens on a municipal government which finds it increasingly
difficult to carry out its present tasks and responsibilities.
The alternative to significantly increasing personnel is to cause
local government to haphazardly enforce the provision,s of this
proposal, thus increasing a disrespec~ for the law in general.
While we sh,are the concern expressed in this bill for the health
of non-smokers, compliance wilth the provisions of this proposal wculd
create severe and undue economic hardship upon pl~aces of publ'~c
accommodation, andl places of employment by foisteri,ng upon them the
obligation to maintain, duplicate facilLities, install physical
separations and otherwise separate and segregate their activities'
in a fashfon that is otherwise neither practical nor logical..
Additional~y, to. accommodate smokers where physical separation, and
segregation cannot be established~ would require that smokers be
.given the opportunity to leave their immediate area of employmen~
to be permitted to smoke on some occasions during~ their working day.
This would ~ead to a ~oss of productivity and consequent economic
detriment to the individual employer and~ to the general economic
climate of the City.
Accordingly, it is urged that this bill be defeated.
Respectfully submitted,

New York: "The Grannis Bill"
Date:
March 5,
~- P. POLLACK
Assemblyman. Alexander "Pete" Grannis' restrictive smoking
bill could come up for a vote during the week of March 8.
As you know., this legislation would restrict smoking in
most public places such as restaurants, retail stores,
public transportation, auditoriums, arenas, meeting rooms
and places of work. Anyone violating the act could draw
a $25 fine for the first offense and: $i00 for each suc-
cessive offense.
The Assembly passed the bill last year by a vote of 81-55
(76 votes needed for passage) with Assembly Speaker Stanley
Fink casting the 76th vote.
We are hopeful of a much closer vote in the Assembly this
year with some of our people even predicting a defeat of
the Grannis bill which, of course, would help us in other
parts of the country.

Health
Anti-Smoking Forces Stoke Legislative Fires
Spurred by an aggressive health
lobby and a surgeon general publicly
committed to making America a
smoke-free society by' the year 2000,
Congress is again preparing tO do bat-
tle over tobacco.
Expected to gain center stage in
1987. are proposals tO ban cigarette ad-
vertising and promotions, to raise the
16.cents-per-pack federal excise: tax
on cigarettes, to ban smoking on do-
mestic airplane flights and~ to limit se-
verely smoking in, federal buildings.
Not surprisingly, anti.smoking
advocates are predicting early success;
while the tobacco industry says the
proposals are likely to go nowhere.
"This issue's time has come," says
Rep. Mike Synar, D-Okla., sponsor of
the ad ban.bill in the 99th Congress.
didn't believe we could, do it this
quickly, but I'm now convinced that
there's a good chance -- a very goodl
chance -- that we can [ban cigarette
advertising in] this Congress:"
Not so fast, argues SCott Stapf.
spokesman for the Tobacco Inst;itute;
which represents the interests of ciga-
rette manufacturers. "I think there's
been a lot; of attentions, says Stapf,
"but it's been a lot of smoke and not
much fire:,' Given Congress' concern
with the budget deficit andl the con-
troversy surrounding the sale of arms
to Iran, Stapf wants to:see "how much
time these sideshows are given when,
there's big: business at hand.,'
Examining the Evidence
The public health groups that
make up the anti-smoking lobby say
their case is bolstered by the increas-
ing body of evidence linking: cigarette
smoking to health problems.
"The science is now irrefutable,"
says Matthew L. Myers, staff director
of the Coalition on Smoking OR
Health (CSH), whose members in-
clude the American Cancer Society',
the American Heart Association and;
the American Lung Association.
The Tobacco Institute, however,
steadfastly maintains that the biologi-
cal causal link between smoking and
disease has never, been ,established and

See Nothing But Smoke
more research is necessary:
Myers dismisses that. "'The To-
bacco Institute now stands on the
same: level with. the Flat Earth S0ci-
ety~ frankly, and deserves the same
credibility," he says.
The numbers, say anti-smokers,
are on their side. They cite as evidence
a staff report prepared bythe congres-
sional Office of Technology Assess-
ment (OTA). It shows that an esti-
mated 350,000 Americans died from
smoking-related ailments in 1985 and
that. smoking-related diseases costl the
U.S. health care system an estimated
$22 billion, of which some $4.2 billion
was paid by the federal government.
OTA notes that when lost earnings.are
added: in, the total economic cost is
about $65 billion, or about $2.17 for
every pack of cigarettes sold in 1985.
Anti-smoking forces have also ap-
plauded the completion in, li986 of two
studies by panels appointed by' the
congressionally chartered Nationa]l
Academy of Sciences (NAS)..
In August, an NAS. panel recom-
mended that smoking be banned on,all:
domestic airline: flights, arguing that it
would lessen discomfort to passengers;
reduce potential health hazards to
cabin crews, bring cabin air quality
into line with standards for other
closed environments and remove the
possibilityof fires caused by cigarettes.
In.October, another NAS commiti-
tee reported that non-smokers can be
adversely affected if they breathe
smoke-contaminated air, so.called
"passive smoke:, The committee
found that young children whose par-
ents smoke suffer more respiratory ail-
ments than do children of non-smok-
ers and that non-smoking: spouses of
smokers have an increasedi risk of
developing lung cancer.
Koop Report Anticipated
Anti-smoking groups are expect-
ing even more ammunition Dec: 16
when Surgeon General C: Everett
Koop, an outspoken critic of smoking
and the tobacco industry, is scheduled
to release a 10ng~awaited study on the
effects of passive smoking.
Some observers speculate that the
Koop report could be:as important in
establishing, the right of non-smokers
to live and work in a:smoke-free envi-
ronment as. Surgeon General Luther
L. Terry~s 1'964 report was in estab.
lishing that smoking could be hazard-
ous to health. (Hist,ory o/anti-smok-
ing legislation, p~ 30~1)
Despite repeated atteeks from the
tobacco industry charging that his
claims are scientifically suspect and
politically motivated, Koop has stead-
fastly refused to back off his strong
anti,smoking stance.
"It is irrefutable that cigarette
smoking is the: single mostl important
preventable cause of death,in,our soci-
ety," he testifed Aug. 1 before the

released. "There is a clear,, conscious
and deliberate willingness on the part
of the Surgeon General's office and
others to.allOw the political agenda to

he admits it will be difficult to: chal-

"'Until the last five years, the
health ,community felt that all ,you had
to dowas makea case for the science:
against smoking, andl then Congress
and the government would naturally
do. what science uggested, he s~ys.
"And it took them abom I5 years to,
reali~e that politics didn't work that
way."
Leading the new!"cha~ge is the
American Medical Association
(AMA), which has made the cigarette
ad ban the No: 1~ item on its public
health agenda.
The AMA was conspicuously ab-
sent during congressiona]~ debate
1964 and I965 over legislation to force
cigarette packages to bear health
warning labelS: (In 1964, the organiza.
tion accepted $10 milli0n fromthe to-
bacco industry for research into the
links between smoking and health.):
But in recent~ years ~he organization
has come out in favor of thegoal of a
smoke*free society by the year
The Tobacco I nstitute's S~pf says
the AMA's new interest is a thinly dis~
guided effort "to try ~,attract young
dt~10rs; and to reposition i~elf away
from therd~tors who golf into the area
of the d~tors who are concerned about
preven~tive: medicine."
That; is a charge the AMA d~s
not dispute: "The AMA opened
doors about 10 years ago ~ medical
students and r~idenk~ and they've
~en relentless about~ this issue/' said
a spokesman for, the ass~iation. But
even more important, he says,, is the

change in the public's perception
about smoking. "There!s just been
kind of a general public awareness
that this stuff is really bad," he said.
The evidence of health risks has
led to a, decline in cigarette consump-
tion, especially among men, and anti-
smoking advocates say it is having a
major effect on the social acceptability
of smoking, (Charts, p. 3050)
"The non-smokers' rights move-
ment has changed the: perception~ and
awareness of the:majority of the people
in our society about cigarette smok-
ing,, says Myers. "They. now realize
they're the majority. They now realize
that the one-third of the: society who
smoke not only irritate them, but
jeopardize their health~ and they're
more willing to speak out."
Even smokers are becoming aware
of the rights of non-smokers. A 1985
Gallup Poll found that 75 percent of
all adults, including 62 percent of
smokers, agreed that smokers should
refrain from, smoking in the presence
of non-smokers.
Banning Advertisemenls
By. far the most controversiaL' anti-
smoking proposal Congress is expected
to take up, is Synar's bill to extend the
radio and television ban on t0bacco ad-
vertising to the print media.
The bill, (HR 4972 in the 99th
COngress) would also prohibit tobacco
manufacturers from offering free sam-
ples and from sponsoring athletic, ar-
tistic or other events under the regis-
tered brand: name of a tobacco~ prod-
uct. This would prohibit such event.s:
as the annual Kool Jazz Festival and
the Virginia Slims women,s tennis
tournaments.
The goal, says Synar, is to prevent
young people from starting to smoke:
Synar argues that despite a voluntary
code that, is supposed to prohibit ciga-
rette advertising from, explicitly ap-
pealing to young people;: that is ex-
actly what the ads do.
"The facts of the matter are that
this industry has to replace 500,000
smokers each year; 350,000 because of
death; and' another 150;000: because
they give up the habit by choice. They
have obviously geared that replace-
ment to.the children of this country,"
he says, citing tobacco industry' spon-
sorship of athletic events and rock
concerts and cigarette ads depicting
young adults sailing, biking, and enjoy-
ing other outdoor activities.
The tobacco companies respond
that; their ads are not aimed at getting
non-smokers to take:up the habit, but

Then to Now: The Cigarette Warning
The battle in Congress over.cigarette health warnings dates back to
1964i when themSurgeon General Luther L, Terry issued his now cele-
brated report branding cigarettes "a health hazard of sufficient importance
... to warrant appropriate remedial action."
The: following year Congress passed legislation (PL 89-92)insisting
that all cigarette packages contain the warning: "Caution: Cigarette Smok-
ing May Be Hazardous to Your Health?' (1965 Almanac p. 344)
Although it marked the first: time the tobacco industry was forced to
acknowledge the link between smoking and disease, manufacturers sup-
ported the measure because it postponed: until 1969 a: Federal Trade:Com-
mission (FTC): ruling that would have required health warnings in ad-
vertisements as well as on cigarette packages:
Four years later Congress took up the:issue againl and in 1970 passed
legislation (PL 91-222): banning cigarette advertising from, television and
radio~ COngress also changed the requiredl
notice on packages to: "Warning: The
Surgeon General Has Determined That
Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous: to, Your
Health." (1970 Almanac p. I45):
Again, the legislation~was passed with
the consent of cigarette manufacturers,
who gained another reprieve: on FTC-im-
posed advertising regulations -- this one
until 1971i. The legislati0n,also prevented
state and iocal'jurisdictions from imposing
their own bans on cigarette advertising:
Anti-smoking forces won their first
major: victory in, 1982, when Congress
agreed as part of a deficit reduction pack-
age {PL 97.-248)to, raise the excise tax
imposed on cigarettes from: 8 cents to 16.
cents per pack.
Tobacco-state legislators, led:by Sen.
Jesse Helms, R-N.C., added an amend-
ment restoring the 8-cent rate after three
years,but it never took effect and the 16;
cent tax was made permanent in the fis,
cal 1986 deficit reduction bill (~PL.99-272). (1982 Almanac p, 32)
In I984, after a~three-yea~ battle, Congress again approved legislati(m~
stlrengtheningcigarette warning labels and requiring:that they be.included
in cigarette: advertising. The legislation (PL 98-47i4) required fi~ur new
labels warning, that cigaretite smoke contains carbon monoxide; causes lung
cancer, heart disease and emphysema~ and poses:significant health, risks t~).
pregnant women. The new labels, which are rotatedl periodically; are 50
percent larger than previous labels. (1984'Almanac p. 478)
The cigarette industry withdrew its oppositinn to the bill after, the
removal of language stating that the warnings did noti reli'eve cigareVte
makers of liability for smoking-related diseases. Reportedly, tlhe industry
was also hoping to gain goodl will for future legislative battles.
Congress turned its attention to chewing t~)bacco and snuff in 1986
when it passed the Comprehensive Sm(,keless Tobacco and Health, Educa-
tion, Act (~PL 99-252):
Concerned that smokeless tobacco,was viewed asa harmles~ alternative.
t~), cigarettes, lawmakers banned advertisements for smokeless tobacco,
products from television and radio, and required that three rotating labels.
be printed on packages and in print advertisements. They warn that prod:
ucts may cause mouth cancer,, gum disease and tooth.10ss.
Industry officials did not oppose the final bill. Like cigarette manufac-
turers in 1970. they faced the prospect of states imposing their own labeling
requirements if there were no federal~ regulations. (Weekly Report p. 267):

"Health - 4
at getting current smokers to switch
brands:
Synar says his eventual goal is to
end all tobacco use, but concedes that
is not possible now. "The point is, the
total ban, of tobacco is not a political
reality, And so this is the next natural
step towards moving us to a tobacco-
free society;, he says.
Although prospects for the legis~
lation, in the Senate remain unclear,
Synar has. found a powerful ally in
Henry A. Waxman,:D-Calif., chairman,
of the House Energy" and Commerce
Subcommittee on Health and the
Environment, which shares jurisdic-
tion over the: proposal.
While not specifically endorsing
Synar's hilt, Waxman says the tobacco,
advertising issue "is going to be a very
high priority for us. It seems tome the
major push behind continued accep-
tance of cigarette smoking is the:enor-
mous amount being spent to advertise:
and promote that product by the to-
bacco industry?'
But the measure faces formidable
opposition, not only from the tobacco
industry, but. also from the advertising.
industry~ which, would hate to lose i:ts
share of the more than $2 billion spent
annually to promote tobacco use, and
the liquor industry; which fears that if
Congress bans tobacco advertising, al-
cohol will be the next target.
The American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU) has also publicly as-
sailed the advertising ban proposal,
charging tlhat "the First A:mendmentl
does not permit a prohibition on
truthful advertising of products which
may lawfully be distributed and soldi"
Synar insists the First Amend~
ment argument lacks merit, since the
Supreme Court has.held that~ advertis-
ing and other "commercial speech"
need not be afforded the same: protec-
tion as other forms of speech. He and
other backers cite a July Supreme
Court decision upholding a ban,on ca-
sino. gambling advertising in Puerto:
Rico,. even though casino gambling is
legal there. (Posados de Puerto. Rico:
Associates. Condado Holiday Inn v:
Tourism Company o[ Puerto Rico;
Weekly Report p. 1526):
Synar also insists that the liquor
industry, has nothing to fear from a
tobacco ad ban. "Tobacco is a unique
product,, he argues. "It's the only
pr(~iuct thatl we know; when used as
intended, still is harmful to your
health. A doctor may say, 'Have a
drink before you go to bed,~ but I've
never heard of one saying, 'Have a
cigarette before you go to bed.'"
Another approach comes from
Fortney H. "Pete" Stark, D-Califl,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Subcommittee on Health,~ and
Bill Bradley~ D~N.J~, a member of the
Senate Finance Committee: They
would allow tobacco advertising to con~
tinue, but would not permit its costs to:
be deducted as business: expenses.
Bradley rejects industry claims
that ads arenot aimed at creating new
smokers. "The tobacco manufacturers
have been telling, us for years that
smoking does not cause cancer." he
says. "Now the), are telling us tlhat
advertising does not cause:smoking.,'
"Those who selll and promote
these products are merchants of
death,? charged Stark atl a July 18
hearing before Waxman's panelt "The
federal government should get out of
the:business of subsidizing the promo-
tion of this lethal substance.?'
The proposal: has the support~ of
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, who will

and Human. Resources Committee: in:
the lO0th Congress. "The Bradley
proposal takes the money out of [ciga-
rette manufacturers'If pockets, while
the ad: ban,puts the money back in;" a
Hatch staffer points out.
But the tobacco industry and the
ACLU say the same constitutional! ar-
guments apply to the Stark-Bradley
proposall that appl.~" to the overall ad
ban: "It's al~ pretty unfair on its

Stapf. "It's nt~t like we're talking

that every business from Philip:Morris

Raising Excise Taxes
While the ad ban questicm is
likely to attract the most media atten-
tion, lobbyists and members say the
most likely anti-smoking action Con-
gress will take in I987 will be to raise
the current 16-cents,per-pack federal
excise tax on cigarettes.
PAGE 3052~Dec. 13, 1986
Pressure to reduce the federal
deficit is likely to be as much a factor ~l~
as health considerations, they. say~
Congressional, budget analysts esti-
mate thatl each penny added tothe tax
brings in approximately $200 million.
Thus, doubling the:current tax could
reduce t:he federal budget deficit by
some $3.2 billion annually:
And while the Tobacco Institute's
Stapf likens raising the cigarette ex-
cise tax in order to reduce the deficit
to: "breaking into: your kid's piggy
bank to try to make: the house mort-
gage payment," many members and
staffers think there's a good chance it
will happen,especiallygiven,recent re-
ports that the Reagan administration
would support such an increase.
Anti-smoking forces are eager to:
raiseexcise taxes because studies show
that price increases result in cor-
responding consumption decreases~
According to a report publishedl
in the Feb. 28, 1986, issue of The
Journal of the American Medical:
Association, an excise tax increase of 8
cents would prompt L8 million Ameri-
cans to quit or not start smoking, in-
cl(~ding 400,000 teenagers and 500,000
young people between the: ages of 20
and 25~ A 16-cent increase, according
to the:report, would drop the smoking ~1~
population by 17 percent, including
800;000 teenagers.
The move to raise the tax islikely
to come in the Senate from John H~
Chafee, R-R.I., who succeeded in
pushing a hike:through the committee
during consideration of fiscal 1987,
deficit-reduction legislation (PL 99=
509), only to see the proposal!stripped
on the Senate floor. And while a
staffer for incoming Finance Commit-
tee Chairman Lloyd Bentsen~
Texas, said Bentsen would not lead
the:charge to raise the tax, he did not
rule out supporting: the move if Presi~
dent Reagan pledged not to veto il.
Opposition will i~ertainly surface
in the Senate from key tobacco~back:-
ers Jesse Helms; R~N.C:, and Wendell
H. Ford, D-Ky., who represent tihe two
states whose, economies most heavily
rely on tobacco production. "It's
ways out there," said a Ford staffer of
tlhe potential excise tax hike: "It's a,
perennial favorite of penple who want ~'
Ix) attack tobacco. But. if we're going to
fall back on regressive taxes, what was
the point of tax reform?"
Passive Smoking
Congress is also likely to address
severall initiatives related to passive
smoking~

H~a#h o $
States Move Aggressively to Limit Smoking
In Connecticut, teachers cannotl be certified unless
they have passed an examinatinn on, the effects~ofl nico~
tine and tobacco:
In Florida, smoking is restricted in schools, restau-
rants, offices, elevators and retail outlets. Minnesota
prohibits persons running for public office fromdistrib.
uting cigarettes to: voters.
And in West Virginia, it is illegal to give or sell
tobacco products.to patients at a: state mental hospital
Increasingly,. state and local governments are mov-
ing to regulate the sale and use of tobacco prodUcts~ And
a Nov: 20 report to Congress by. the Department of,
Health and Human Services (HHS)suggests.a new em-
phasis on protecting the rights of non-smokers.
The HHS report, required by the 1984 Comprehen-
sive Smoking Education Act (PL 98-474), says.42 states
have enacted laws restricting: smoking in public places.
Wide Range of Regulations
Smoking is most commonly prohibited or limitec~on
public transportation vehicles (33 states)i, at health care
facilities (32 states) and on elevators. (31 states):
Accordingl to the: HHS report, the states with the
most comprehensive rules are Alaska, Florida, Minne-
sota, Montana, Nebraska, Utah and Washington. They
prohibit or restrict smoking in health care facilities,
elevators, recreational facilities, public transportation
vehicles, schools, stores,, restaurants, offices and work
places,, government buildings andl at public meetings.
Thir,ty~five other states and bhe District of Colum~
bin restrict smoking in one or more of these public
places. Only eight states have no such~ restrictions: Ala~
baron, Illinois~ Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia and Wyoming;
Seventeen states have legislation restricting smok,
ing in offices and other work places. Alaska prohibits
smokingin all places of employment -- public or private
-- where a no-smoking sign is posted. Florida, Minne÷
sot.a. Montana, Nebraska, North: Dakota, Utah and Wis~
consin~ restrict smoking to designated areas in private or,
public offices: Florida also requires employers to pr.o~
vide no-smoking work space tO, any employee who re~
quests it. (Chart.. t,his page)'
In most states, violations of: anti-smoking laws are
punishable hy fines ranging from, $25 to:$100: In Westl
Virginia, however, the fine can be as low as. $1. The
highesl fines, for failing to comply with,smoking restric-
tions -- up to $300- are imposed by Alaska, Marytandi
New Jersey and the District of COlumbia.
Taxes and Licenses
All 50:states and the Distlrict of Columbia tax ciga-
revtes andl all but West Virginia: require that persons
obtain licenses before, engaging in the business of
distributing, retailing, wholesaling or manufacturing
cigarettes.
The sale or distribution of cigarettes or tobacco
pruducts to minors is regulated by. 39 states.The major-
ity define a minor asanyone under the age of 18, but 10
states set the age at 16 and Hawaii puts it at 15.
According to the HHS: report, all 50 states tax ciga~
rettes. N0rth Carolina has the lowest rate -- 2 cents per
pack -- and Maine has the highest -- 28 cents.
Some states channel a portion,of their cigarette tax
revenues into health programs.. Louisiana puts $I mil-
lion of its annual tax revenue into the Cancer and Lung
Trust Fund, which finances research on cancer and car-
diopulmonary diseases: Nebraska sets aside 1 cent per
pack for research on~smokingrrelated diseases.
Education Requi~ed
The HHS:report say~s 18 states now require:elemen-
tary and secondary schools to include instruction,on the
dangers associated wit!h, tobacco use:
In addition, three states- Alabama. Connecticut
and Oklahoma -- are establishing training programs:for
teachers: and other school personnel' on the effects of
nicotine and tobacco use: And in Minnesota~ all schools
that provide teacher training must offer programs on
the risks associated with the misuse of and dependency
on tobacco.
Severall other anti-smoking regulations have been
adopted by individual states:
• Utah prohibits cigaretlte advert,ising on billboards,
streetcars andl buses.
• New Jersey has made it a misdemeanor, to sell to,
bacco to reformatory inmates.
• Smoking is illegal!under a:covered bridge in Maine:

Subcommittees in both chambers
held hearings in the 99th Congress on
legislation to restrict smuking in fed-
eral buildings,~ but it remains unclear,
what. effect the recent GSA regulation
w:ilt have on those effi)rts.
A spokesman for Sen, Ted Ste-
vens, R-Alaska, sponsor of the Senate
measure and outgoing chairman of the
Governmental Affairs Subcommittee
on Civili Service, said no d~cision has
been made on whether to pursue, the
legislation in light of the GSA action.
"It's not everything we wanted, but
it's a good start,, he: said~
But a staffer fi)r House sponsor
• James H. Seheuer, D-N!Y.,~ says the
GSA regulations "complement rather
nicely the goals of our bill." He says
Scheuer still plans to push for enact,
ment. He pointed out that GSA over-
sees.only about one-thirdlof the:federal
work force and that legislation is nec-
antes, including buses andl trains.
The Tobacco Institute's Stapf
says the National Academy of Sci-
ences, report, d~spite its recommenda-
tion, t,hat smoking on domestic flights
be banned,: did not help the effi~rt. "I
just don't see that report being the
drmnatic piece of evidence that,s
ing t~:stampede members of Congress
int~taking that acticm," he said, citing
numerous: instances, in~ the report
where the paneli called for t'k~rtiher
study:
But Stapf says the industiry is
concernedl that members mighti see
banning smoking on shorti flights as.a
moderate alternative to:harming it a|-

that: 90 percent: of flights in the U.S.
are two hours or less,, he said, and

Tobacco is "'the only product
that we know, when used as

before you go to bed.' '"
--Rep. Mike Synar, D-Okla.
essary "to make: the policy consistent
across the board for all federal build-
ings."
Still, it is likely to be an~ uphill
fight. "I think most members will
want to wait to, see how [the GSA
regulations] work out before taking on,
a legislative remedy," says Thomas J.
Bliley dr., R-Va., iike:Scheuer a mem~
bet of the: Energy and Commerce Sub~
committee on Health. Bliley is a key
tobacco industry supporter; the Philip
Morris tobacco company is a major
presence in his Richmond district.
Also related to the passive smok~
ing issue are legislative efforts to ban
smoking on, airplanes. Several plans
were offered; in the 99th Congress,
ranging from banning: smoking on
short flights to banning it on all do-
mestic flights, and a Hatch staffer
says the senator plans to introduce
legislation in, the 100th Congress to
ban. smoking not only on airplanes.
but on all publicly funded convey-

The competitive disadvantage h)r the
airlines, would be just enormous."
Time Is a Factor
While both sides agree that to-
bacco issues are likely to. attract sig-
nificant congressional attention, a key
question is how much efforti members
will actually devote to pushing mea~
sures through.
"There's only. so much time that
somebody whets, eli~cted to Congress
... is going: to spend futzing around
with cigarettes," says Stapf. "'l don't
think the anticipation, is that people
get sent to Washington to. make per-
sonal lifestyle choices fi~r their voters."
Another question is the makeup
of the committees that will deali with
smoking issues. "A lot will depend on
who the new members of [the House
Energy and COmmerce] committee
will be;?" says Bliley.
On the Senate side, incoming La-
bor and Human Resources Committee
Chairman Edwardl M. Kennedy, D-
Mass.,. is known to be sympathetic to
anti,smoking legislation, but not as
devoted to the: cause as outgoing
Chairman HatCh. "'When Kennedy
takes the: cigar out of his mouth, he
agrees: that smoking's bad for you,"
laughed a Kennedy staffer.
But advertising legislatiim, in~ the
Senate would pr,bab[y have to go
throngh the Commerce C-mmittee,
where it will likely be received coolly
by incoming Chairman Ernest F. Holi-
ings. [)-S.C~ Although never an outi-
spo[~en, supporter of the tobacco, in-
dustry; one lobbyist says; Hollings has
"always been, a gelid soldier" in pro~
tecting the state's tobacco interestS:
Anti-sin.eking advocates still
speak in awed tones of t~he tobacco
industry's vast influence on Capitol
Hill. "The: tobacco, lobby is quite pow-
erful, and since the tobacco, industry.
has become much more diverse in its
holdings, they've become even, more
powerful," admits Waxman. With so:
many t~bacco manufacturers merging
with other companies, says Waxman,
"'they can control an enormous
amount of money that goes into ad-
vertising and otherwise: can, be effec~
tire in gaining: their way."
W.hat enabled tobacco-state legis-
lhtors t'o wield so much influence in
tihe past, say observers; was. the all-
consuming nature of their interest.
Members from tobacco-producing
states "w~uld do anything to save
bacco/' says CSH's Myers. *'Anytlhing.
Folks from New York or other states
couldn't do that. So they were able to
wield more power than their numbers
because they were willing to make any
political trade: whatsoever."
The lack of an,active health lobby
aided tobacco interests as well! "For
many years;the tobacco lobby was the
only li)bby on this issue," says Myers.
"'The Tobacco: Institute operated
prettiy much in a vacuum."
But as the number of, smokers in
the population dwindles andl evidence
of the health hazards of smoking be-
comes better known, Myers says that
balance is beginning, to shift.
"Many, many members of Con-
gr,ess now realize that a w~te in favor of
health and against tobacco,is now more
likely tobe helpful~to them than a:vote
to the: contrary, and [ think that is a
very significant psychological change,"
he says: "'They now realize thatl a vote
for tobacco will be perceived by most
of their constituents as a sellout for a
very narrow special interest, and one
tlhat will have to: be explained." |

CHILDREN. HOST VULN~RABL~
Children of smoklng parents more frequently suffer such symptoms as
wheezlng, cou~hlng, and sputum p,'oduction than do the children of non-smoklng
parents, the committee pointed out. I= ciued studies that estimate an Increased
~isk of between 20 percent and 80 percent, dependfng on the speelflc symptoms being
investlga~ed and the number of smokers in the household. The committee also found
~hat pneumonia, bronch.~is, a~d othe~ lower respiratory tract infections may occur
up co twice as of=en during ~he first year of llfe ~n children of smokers, and that
these children, are hospitalized for respirator~ infections more often than are
children of no,~-smokers.
Ocher possible effects on ch~]idren from chronic exposure to envi~ronmen~al
tobacco smoke Include increased' risk of ear Infections, slower growth rate,, andl
decreased lung function. Studies al~so su~'est that earl,y ezposure may increase the
r~sk of pul~monary diseases in adulthood. However, not enough is kno%~ at th~s time
to dlscinguish between fetal exposure due to the passl, ve smoking of the mother and
exposure of the infant after b~rth, ~he committee added.
Non-smoki:n~ women marri, ed' ~o smokers may be more likel~ to gfve birth to
smaller babies than non-smoking women, marr5ed to non-smokers, the committee said.

"Considering the evidence as a whole," the committee said, "exposure to
~nvlronmental tobacco smoke increases the ~ncldence o~ lung cancer in non-smokers."
Although estimates of the magnitude of risk vary considerably, added the committee,
there is sufficient consistency among the s~udles to conf~rm a ~ink. Th~ committee
cited data from, ~3 s~udles worldwide. Results of studies conducted in the United
States estimated a ~& percent increased risk of .lung cancer, V~rtually: all the
studies focused on spouses of smokers and therefore did not provide da~a on. the
effects of short-term, occasional exposure.
• Although the chemls~ry o£ env~ronmenta~ tobacco smoke ~s somewhat different
from the smoke a smoker inhales dlrectl~y from a cigarette, the committee pointed out
~ha~ It sti~.l contains, carc~.nog.enic agents. Therefore, it is "blolo~ically
plausible" that it poses an. lncreased risk of lun~ cancer as nothreshold for
cayclnogen~c effects has been established. Furthermore, the ~evel of respirable
parclc~es in room air ~s significantly increased when, smoking takes plaue, the
committee said. Xf radon, is presen~ in t~e air, it may increase the risk posed by
environmental tobacco smoke, the committee concluded, because radon could stilck to
resplrable parcicl.es ~ha,t enter the lungs.
Ocher health effects of environmental tobacco smoke in adults are less
clear, said the committee. Results from s~udles investigating the links between,
passive smoking and ocher cancers are Inconsi.scent. A ~ew sCudles suggest ~hat
exposure.to tobacco smoke reduces lung function, but the committee recommended
cautlo~] in ~ncerpretlng! these data because adults in the normal course of ~i.fe come
In contact wi~h many substances tha~ can, affect lung function. Studies with
asthmatics exposed to environmental tobacco smoke are inconclusive, the commlt£ee
said,.

Some studies have found an, excess risk of cardiovascular disease amon:~
exposed non-smokers,, but the committee concluded that probl, ems in the design and
analyses of the studies "preclude any firm, conclusions about the results." Further
research is needed in all .areas to conf~rm, suspected links between exposure to
e~vlronmental tobacco smoke and disease, the tommittee said.
ACUTE EFFECTS AND MEASURINS ~XFOSURE
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke commonly causes eye, nose, and
throat irritation, an4 many people find the odor objectionable, the committee said.
A ventilatlon, rate greater than 5Ocubic feet per minute (cfm) per occupant
necessary to. make the air in a closed room acceptable to 80 percent of adul~ts when
there Is smoklng, the committee found. Th~is is about five times greater than the
ventila:=ion, rate acceptable when there fs no smoking.
Cigarette smoke is a mixture of more than 3,800 compounds, the comm~ittee
pointed: ou=, A smoker inhales "mainstream," smoke dlrec=ly from, the cigarette, but a
non-_~m, oker inhale.s envi;ronmen~al tobacco, smoke -- a m~x~ure of "sides~r~am, smoke"
from the burning end of the cigarette, "mainstream smoke" exhalled by smokers~ gases
that diffuse through, the cigarette paper, and ambient ai~, which may also. contain
pollutants.. The committee recommended further studies to improve methods for
monitoring environmental, tobacco smoke and the level, of individual exposure,, to
design computer models for estimating exposure, and to iden£i~y biological markers
to trace the path of chemical agents found in environmental tobacco smoke through
the human body.,

FRANK E. RESI,,;II4
Attached for your information is a copy of the American Society
for Personnel Administration (ASPA)membership survey on
workpllace smokin,g restriction policies. AS.PA. is the world's
largest individual membership organization devoted exclusilvely
to hu!man resources. ASPA has mere than 35,000 members iln~ the
U.S. and in, 42 foreign countries. The group represents o,ve.r 40
million employees.
SUMMARY
The A:SPA survey of 662 comp:an4es iis one of the llargest to date
(for comparison, the Solmon study h~ad a sample of 445;i ASH's
sample was 1,000)and provides additional evidence that
workplace smoking restrictions are not widespread:. Of those
surveyed, 41% of the companies have no sm,oking policy and! are
not considering smoking restrictions (thils figure from other
studies: 68% Solmon, 4:9% Rober~ Half, 45% ASH).. If we exclude
those companies which are requ!ired by law to have a policy (!i06
firms, 16% of the total), this 41% figure would rise to 49%..
HIGHEIGHTS
* Only 2% of the compan4.es ban smoking completely.
* 0f those companies with smoking policies, over 40% b.an
smoking in all shared workspaces.
* In 54% of the firms, smokers generallly supported th,e
restrictions, however, 10% of the firms said that smokers
did oppose the pol~icies.
* The reasons most often given for developiing a policy
were: I) compliance with state or local law; 2) health;
concerns; 3) employee complaints.
* Ten percent of the firms with,out policies had at one
time considered an,d rejected the adoption of a. policy. The
"easons for rejection were: I) anticipated en~forcement
"oblems; 2) legal~ity of limi:~i~n~g smokers' rights to
ke; 3) members of top management were smokers; 4)i
or fanatacism of nonsmokers.

Smoking in the Workplace
Policies on the smoking of tobacco, products in
the workplace have become more prevalent in
recent years, although very few employers have
gone so far as to: prohibit~ smoking entirely,
according to, a recent ASPA-BNA survey on
smoking in the workplace. As Figure I illus-
trates, over one-third of the 662 organizations
responding to, the survey currently have work-
place smoking policies related to employee
health and/or comfort, the vast majority of
which were established within t;he past five
years. An additional 2 percent wiil~ have policies
in effect by the end of the year, and 2I percent
of the respondents were considering smoking
restrictions at the time of the survey. Despite the
apparent trend toward contemplation and estab-
lishment of smoking policies, however, the ma-
jority of responding firms do not: currently have
smoking policies that address the issues of em-
ployee health and comfort.

port. Several sample smoking policies are con-
tained at the back of the report.
Survey Highlights
* Smoking policies related to employee health
or comfort are more prevalent among the re-
sponding Northeastern and Western firms, com-
pared with those in the South and in the North
Central states. This may be due, in part, to the
fact that a greater proportion of companies in
the NOrtheast and the West are subject to state
or local laws that require the establishment of
workplace smoking policies. Sixteen percent~ of
all responding firms are governed by such
legislation.
• Most respondents cited at least one of t;hree
reasons for the establishment of their smoking
policies: state or local laws, company concerns
about employee health and/0r comfort, and em-
ployee complaints about smoke in the workplace.
* Over 40 percent of the organizations that
maintain smoking policies (1!5 percent of all
respondents) ban smoking in all open work areas.
Less than 10 percent of the policies place no
restrictions on smoking in: shared work space.
• More than half of the firms with policies
specifically designate areas for smoking.
• Very few (2 percent)of the surveyed firms
ban smoking on all company property:
• Less than one-quarter of the smoking policies
specify any penalty for smoking in unauthorized
areas, and about one-third contain procedures for
resolving disputes between, smoking and non-
smoking employees.
• A majority of the organizations with smok-
ing policies indicated that their employees who
smoke generally support the restrictions, while
10 percent noted opposition, to the policies.
• The survey, data provide little evidence to
support contentions that restrictions on smoking
either reduce company costs or increase worker
productivity. Most respondents could not say
whether their policies had any. effect on either.
• Ten percent of the firms that do not have
smoking policies had considered and rejected
such, policies in the past.
e Aimost three-quarters of all respondents
ed that these protests were widespread. In nearly
half (45 percent) of the firms that have had
complaints, employees were urged to work the
problems out themselves. About one-third of the
companies asked smoking employees to refrain
from smoking, and a similar proportion rear-
ranged work stations to accommodate non-
smokers.
• Less than I percent of the responding com,
panics will not hire a smoker; 5. percent give
hiring preference, by policy; to nonsmoking job
applicants; and another 10 percent allow individ-
ual supervisors to consider applicant smoking
habits in their hiring decisions.
• Half of the responding, organizations have
taken measures in the past five years to encour-
age their employees to stop smoking, most com-
monly through the distribution of literature de-
signed to persuade smokers to quit.
The Survey Sample
The survey questionnaire was mailed to a
random sample of 1,967 members of the Ameri-
can Society for Personnel Administration
(ASPA). Results are based on returns from 662
personnel executives, which represents a re-
sponse rate of 34 percent. Forty percent of the
participating organizations are manufacturing
companies, 33 percent are nonmanufacturing
firms; and 15 percent are nonbusiness establish-
ments, such as educational institutions and
health care facilities. The remaining 12 percent
of respondents did not indicate their industry
category.
By workforce size, 20 percent of the respond-
ing organizations employ 1,000 or more workers,
67 percent have workforces of less than 1,000,
and 13 percent did not indicate workforce size.
By. region, 20 percent of the responding firms are
located in the Northeast, 33 percent are South-
ern companies, 24 percent are located in North
Central states, and 17 percent are Western
firms. Four percent of the organizations have
facilities in more than one region, and the loca-
tion. of 2 percent of the firms could not be
determined. Twenty-seven percent of the re-
sponding firms have employees who are repre-

June/2, /986
Prevalence of Smoking Policies
Of the 662 organizations responding to the
survey, 36 percent have established workplace
smoking policies designed primarily to address
issues of employee health and/or, comfort. Ten
firms (2 percent) indicated plans to implement a
smoking policy by the end of 1986, and 21
percent of the responding firms currentlly have
such a policy under consideration. On the other
hand, a plurality (41 percent) of t~he respondents
do not have a smoking policy related to employee
health or comfort, do not plan to establish: one in
1986, and have no proposals on this subject
under consideration. Thus, a majority of re-
sponding firms are currently without smoking
policies related to employee health or comfort.
There appear to be minor differences byindus-
try and by'workforce size in the probability that
an organization has or is considering a smoking
policy. As Table 1 shows, large organizations
seem to I~ somewhat more likely to have a policy
currently in effect (45 percent)than small firms
(33 percent). Only 30 percent of the responding
nonbusiness establishments have no policy and
none under consideration, while 40 percent of the
nonmanufacturers and 47 percent of the manu-
facturing firms surveyed fall into this category:
Manufacturers appear considerably less inclined
to issue smoking policies than nonbusiness orga-
nizations, and somewhat less likely to adopt or
consider policies than nonmanufacturing firms,
By region~ policies on workplace smoking are
more common among the Western companies
(52 percent) and Northeastern firms (42 per-
cent) than among firms in the North Central (29
percent) or Southern (28 percent) regions. At
least some of the difference by region is attribut-
able to state or local laws that mandate work-
place smoking policies. Twenty-eight percent of
the responding NOrtheastern firms and 25 per-
cent of companies in the West indicated they are
required by law to establish smoking policies,
while such, laws affect only I li percent of the
Southern firms in the survey and 9' percent of the
respondents located in t~he North Central states.
Sixteen percent of all responding firms (46 per-
cent of those with smoking policies) are located
in jurisdictions that require the est~ablishment of
smoking policies.
Age of Policies
The overwhelming majority (85 percent)of
the 239 organizations with workplace smoking
policies established these policies within the past
five years. As Table 2 indicates, over 60 percent
of these policies first went into effect in eit~her
1985 (33 percent) or I986 (28 percent), while
only 8 percent of the policies were implemented
before 1982. Nearly two out of five (138 percent):
of the manufacturers' smoking policies are new
this year, compared with about one-fourth (124
percent): of the nonmanufacturers, policies andl
18 percent of those in nonbusiness operations..
Many of the nonmanufacturing firms (,42 per-
cent) established their policies in 1985..The old-
est policy -- established in 1936 -- is main-
tained by a company that initially, developed a
policy because customers found smoking "often-

sire." The firm updated its policy in 1979 to
reflect concerns about employee health.
Since state and local legislation on workplace
smoking is a recent phenomenon, it is not sur-
prising that the policies implemented by firms
that are subject to these Iaws are newer than
those established by= companies in jurisdictions
where no such laws are in effect: Nearly three-
quarters (72 percent)of the policies instituted by
firms located in jurisdictions where workplace
smoking laws exist went into effect in 1985 or
1986, while about half (52 percent) of the corn-
panics under no legal obligation implemented
their policies this year or last: year.
Reasons for Developing a Smoking Policy
There were primarily three reasons why work-
place smoking policies were developed in the
surveyed companies: a= state or local law, com-
pany concern about employee health or comfort,
and employee complaints about smoke in the
work area. The reason cited by the greatest
proportion of respondents (35 percent) was a
state or local law requiring, them to develop a
policy.. As Figure 2 illustrates, 28 percent of the
firms with smoking policies cited state or local
legislation as the principal reason for implement-
ing a policy, and another 7 percent mentioned
state or local laws in combination with heahh
concerns or employee complaints.
Twenty-nine percent of the firms with policies
indicated that company concerns about employee
health and/or comfort prompted them to develop
a policy; 22 percent cited no other rationale and
7 percent mentioned employee health and com-
fort in conjunction with either a workplace smok,
PI@ 4
ing law or employee complaints. A total of 27
percent of the policies were established at least
in part because of employee complaints, with. 21
percent citing only these complaints and 6 per-
cent also mentioning concerns about health or
laws as reasons for the policy: Three percent of
the smoking policies were ordered by the com-
pany owner or president. Among the 24 firms
citing other reasons for establishing smoking
restrictions, three employers noted that a move
to a new location prompted a change in policy;
while four firms mentioned customer relations: A
respondent from a small North Central educa~
tional institution wrote that, while the rationale
for its smoking restrictions had not been ex-
pressed, the heart attack of an employee who
smoked "'immediately. preceded the ban."
Policies on Open Work Areas
Respondents from firms with smoking policies
were asked to indicate their organizations' re-
strictions on smoking in open offices or shared
work space. As Table 3 shows, over two-fifths
(41 percents) of the policies ban, smoking in all
open work areas. Total bans on smoking in
shared work space appear far less common in
manufacturing companies than in nonmanufac-
taring or nonbusiness establishments. Twenty-
eight percent of manufacturers with smoking
policies do not allow employees to smoke in any
open work area, while smoking in shared work
space is prohibited by about half of the nonman-
ufacturers (48 percent) and nonbusiness institu-
tions (54 percent)with policies.
Almost one-fifth (19 percent) of the organiza.
tions with smoking restrictions divide their open

work areas into smoking and no-smoking sec-
tions. The separation of smokers and nonsmokers
in this manner is more prevalent in manufactur-
ing concerns (28 percent) than in nonmanufac-
turing businesses (15 percent)or nonbusiness
establishments ( 13 percent).
Fewer than one out of tO policies (8 percent)
have no restrictions on smoking in shared or open
work areas. This type of policy also appears more
popular with manufacturers than with employers
in other industries. Six percent of the organiza-
tions that maintain smoking policies will ban
smoking in a shared office at the request of any
one employee, and an equal proportion require
that a majority of employees ask for the prohibi-
tiion. A smoking ban may be instituted at the

discretion of the office supervisor in 5 percent of
the firms with smoking policies, and 3 percent of
firms will institute restrictions only if all the
employees in an office agree to them.
Just over one-tenth of the organizations with
smoking policies noted other provisions on smok-
ing in: shared work space. Four companies indi.
cared that their policy allows employees to desig-
nate their work stations as no-smoking areas,
although none of these firms indicated the extent
to which these designations might restrict adja-
cent smokers. Two companies permit work sta-
tion smoking only if the employee keeps an air
filter on his oy her desk, and a large Southern
nonmanufacturing firm provides clean air ma-
chines to smoking employees,
A few companies maintain somewhat equiv-
ocal policies on open work areas, permitting
employees to smoke "unless a problem arises" or
"provided it does no~ interfere with a
nonsmoker.'"
Policies in Other Locations
The responding organizations also were asked
to specify their restrictions on smoking (if any)
in t:he seven areas listed in Table 4. As the table
shows, a majority of the firms with smoking
policies ban smoking completely in four of the
seven areas listed. About two-thirds (66 percent)
of the firms disallow smoking in company hall-
ways, and 63 percent ban all smoking in meeting
and conference rooms. Total bans on rest room
smoking are maintaiined by 60 percent of the
companies with policies, and 56 percent do not
permit smoking in customer or visitor areas.
In contrast, smoking is allowed in private of-
rices at 56 percent of the organizations, while
June 12. 1986
only 36 percent have complete or partial bans on
smoking in private work areas. Partial smoking
bans are most common in company cafeterias,
usually in. the form of designated smoking and
no-smoking.areas. Eight out of 10 policies either
allow smoking in company vehicles (41 percent)
or have no provisions regarding vehicles (39
percent).
About one-<iuarter of the company policies
prohibit smoking in areas other than those listed
in Table 4. The most frequently men6oned ioca~
tions were elevators, computer rooms, patient
rooms (in health care facilities); areas in which
food is prepared or processedi gymnasiums, and
libraries:
Over half (58 percent) of the company policies
specifically, designate locations for smoking, such
as employee lounges, break rooms; or cafeterias.
Total Bans on Smoking
Only 14 surveyed organizations -- 6 percent
of those with policies and 2 percent of all respon-
dents -- prohibit smoking on all company prem-
ises. Nine of these firms cited their own concerns
about worker health as at least one of the reasons
for the ban, while three organizations noted that
the owner or president issued t~he policy. One
church-affiliated organization explained that its
members' beliefs did not allow them to smoke,
and a manufacturer of health products cited the
health consciousness of its customers as the rea.
son for banning smoking altogether.
Five of the companies with complete bans on
smoking are manufacturers, including two whose
president ordered the policy: Another five are
nonmanufacturing concerns, including two insur-
ance companies: Two nonbusiness institutions

have banned all workplace smoking, as have two
organizations that did not identify their ',yp¢ of
business,
Policy Enforcement
Less than a quarter (23 percent)of the smok-
ing policies designed for employee health and/or
comfort specify penalties for violating smoking
restrictions. Of these 56 policies, ! 2 indicate that
smoking prohibitions will be enforced in the
same manner as other company rules are en-
forced, and: an equal number specify that a
system of "'progressive discipline" will be used to
punish, employees for smoking violations. Fifteen
firms noted only that some form of disciplinary
action, would be taken against the offending
individual(s). Several firms mentioned specific
enforcement measures including reprimands,
warnings, and counseling, One-quarter of the
companies (14 firms) that have penalties in their
smoking policies specifically, cited termination as
a possibility for workers found smokilng in re-
stricted locations, although only two of those
respondents said an employee might be fired for
a first offense.
Resolution o! Smoking Disputes
Just under a, third (32 percent) of the policies
contain procedures for resolving disputes be-
tween, smokers and nonsmokers. Over half (54
percent) of these provisions give management
the responsibility for resolving disputes. In a few
cases, if the immediate supervisor cannot resolve
the problem, the dispute is referred to a manager
outside the unit, such as the director of person-
nei. Eighteen companies (24 percent of those
with dispute resolution provisions) noted that if a
compromise cannot: be reached, the rights of the
nonsmoker prevail. Three organizations indicat-
ed that majority rule is applied to all smoking
disputes, with one noting that the responsible
department head is expected to "act decisively"
when such situations arise. Two policies provide
for "'reasonable accommodations," while two
others specify that the work stations of the con-
tending individuals be separated.
Employee Role in Policy Development
Over half (56 percent) of the smoking policies
were developed unilaterally by management in
the surveyed firms. In the remaining 44 percent
of companies with smoking policies, nonmanage-
ment employees contributed to the development
of the policy~ Over three-fifths (61 percent) of
the 106 firms that involved the rank-and-file
solicited their views through informal discussion.
One-quarter of the organizations that soughl
nonmanagement input: conducted employee sur-
veys on smoking, and an equal' number includ~:d
nonmanagement representatives on their policy-
making committees. Twenty-one firms (20 per-
cent) formed policy advisory committees that
included nonmanagerial scarf. None of the firms
formulated: its workplace smoking policy through
union negotiations,
Communicating Company Policy
Companies have used a variety of means to
communicate their smoking policies to employ-
ees, as Table 5 illustrates. Three-fifths of the
firms with policies posted them in the workplace;
this percentage includes 72 percent of manufac-
turers with smoking rest;rictions, 51 percent of
nonmanufacturing companies, and 49 percent of
nonbusiness establishments. Forty-one percent
sent a policy notice to each employee, a measure
that appears to be favored more by nonmanufac-
turers (52 percent): than by manufacturing firms
(33 percent)and nonbusinesses (36 percent), and
one that is much more common among small
firms (47 percent)than large organizations (27
percent)!.
Smoking restrictions were announced by su-
pervisors at 37 percent of the companies with
policies. Employee newsletters published the
smoking policy provisions at 50 percent of the
responding Iarge firms, 20 percent of small
firms, and at 27 percent of companies overall.
About one-quarter (24 percent) of the companies
added the policy to their employee handbooks.
Twelve percent reported other means of com-
municating smoking, policies, including employee
meetings (11 firms), procedure manuals (two
firms), and the job application process (t~hree
firms). None of the smoking policies has been
incorporated into a. union contract.
Reaction to Policy
Employee support for company smoking poli-
cies appears fairly widespreadi as 541 percent of
the firms with policies indicated that smokers i:n
the workforce generally support the smoking
restrictions, while only 10 percent reported that
smokers generally oppose the policy provisions.
Twenty percent observed no reaction to the poli-
from employees who smoke, and 16 percent
cy
could not say how smokers felt about their prohi'
bitions on smoking.
Acceptance of smoking restrictions on the part
of smoking employees appears lowest in nonbusi-
ness organizations, as only 38 percent of the

respondents from this sector felt smoking work-
ers supported the policy: The proportions of non-
manufacturing firms (56 percent) and manufac-
turing companies (51 percent) reporting smoker
support were considerably higher. Similarly; op-
position appears more likely among nonbusiness
establishments (18 percent)i than i:n nonmanufac.
turing (12 percent) or manufacturing concerns
(7 percent):.
Worker support; for smoking policies may be
slightly greater in firms t:hat sought non,manage-
ment input during the development of the policy:
Fifty-eight percent of those organizations noted
general approval for the policy once it was estab-
lished, and 7 percent experienced overall resis-
tance to the policy' from smokers. Of the organi-
zations that established their smoking policies
without consulting nonmanagement employees,
50 percent report general approval of the policy~
and 12 percent experienced opposition from
smokers.
Company Costs and Worker Productivity
The survey results supply'little evidence that
workplace smoking restrictions have a beneficial
effect on either company costs or employee pro-
ductivity, Only six (3 percent) of the firms with
smoking policies said that bans on smoking had
reduced their costs in some way~ Three reported
lower cleaning and maintenance costs as a result
of their smoking restrictions, and two firms said
their insurance rates were reduced. Fifteen per-
cent maintained that their policies had not de-
creased company expenses, while the overwhelm-
ing majority (77 percent)! of respondents could
not say whether any costs had declined as a
result of smoking restrictions~
Similarly, 80 percent of the respondents indi-
cated that they did not know whether their
smoking policies had increased employee produc-
tivity: Twelve percent said that their prohibitions
on smoking had not iincreasod productivity, and
only 4 percent believed t;hat they had~ The re-
spondent for a small Northeastern retailer as-
serted that productivity had: increased at that
firm because workers now spend "less time off
the job to smoke" and because "clean air in work
areas keeps employees more alert." A small
service firm in the West reported that its non-
smoking employees are more productive because
they no longer spend time complaining about
smoke in the office.
Policy Changes
Sixteen percent of the firms t;hat currently.
have smoking policies plan to make changes in
their policy' provisions in 1986, although six of
these 39 firms are merely streamlining a policy
that was implemented this year. Twenty-two or-
ganizations will introduce additional smoking.
restrictions by year's end, including five that will
implement: a total ban. Two companies plan to
add new locations at which workers may smoke,
and one firm will begin to give hiring preference
to nonsmoking job applicants:
Companies Without Smoking Policies
Of the 423 surveyed organizations that do not
have workplace smoking policies designed for
employee health or comfort, only six have had

policies in the past. A large North Central man-
ufacturing firm maintained a policy t:hat com-
pletely prohibited smoking on company grounds
from 1912 to I937, when it repealed the policy.
because of company expansion and greater social
acceptance of tobacco smoking. A small South-
ern nonmanufacturing company abandoned its
nine-year-old policy of allowing smoking only in
its coffee shop in December I971. The respond-
ent wrote that the "company felt it was being too
strict" with the policy~ After only one year, a
large Southern health care institution gave up on,
a policy that provided for a no-smoking section, in
the cafeteria, citing enforcement difficulties.
Ten-percent of the firms without policies had,
at one time, considered and rejected the adoption
of smoking policies. Various reasons for rejecting
smoking restrictions were cited, ranging from
anticipated problems with enforcement to ques-
tions about the legality of limiting employees'
right to smoke. A few others did not wish to deal
with the objections of smoking workers, and six
firms indicated that a policy was rejected be-
cause the company president or other members
of top management smoked. One organization
concluded that requests for smoking restrictions
had been put forth by a small "fanatical group"
within, the company:
Handling Worker Complaints
All responding organizations were asked to
indicate the extent to which their company had
received complaints about smoke in the work
environment. While "/3 percent had received
complaints from nonsmoking employees, few of
these firms indicated that complaints were wide-
spread (7 percent) or that a group of employees
had I~tged: protests (4 percent). Less than 1
percent: of the survcycd companies (three firms):
have been involved in lawsuits over the issue of
smoke in the workplace.
Table 6 shows the various ways in which,
employee complaints about smoke have been
handled bythc 482 firms that have received such
complaints. As the table illust;rates, many em-
ployers prefer to encourage employees to resolve
the problem themselves, as 45 percent of firms
experiencing complaints indicated they have tak-
en this approach. Nonbusiness establishments
and manufacturers appear more likely than non-
manufacturing firms to Iet employees resolve
such disputes, and large organizations seem

somewhat more likely than small firms to take
this stance.
Forty-one percent of the firms that have re-
ceived complaints provide desk-top air filters or
smoke-absorbing ashtrays to smokers in an effort
to placate nonsmokers, while 35 percent moved
desks or work stations to accommodate those
offended by secondary smoke. Smokers were
asked to refrain from smoking at 3:2 percent: of
the companies that received complaints, al-
though the survey results do not indicate which
of these requests were informal and which be-
came restrictions by policy~ One-quarter of the
firms receiving complaints took action to im-
prove their" building ventilation systems, and 11
percent of the employers divided the problem
work area into smoking and no-smoking sections:
Very few employers (2 percent each)transferred
either a smoker or a nonsmoker to another work
unit because of complaints about smoke.
Not surprisingly, firms with smoking policies
appear more likely to take stronger measures in
dealing with worker complaints about smoking
than companies that do not have policies. For
example, 41 percent~ of the firms with policies
have responded to complaints by asking smokers
to refrain from smoking, compared with 28. per-
cent of the organizations with no policy~ Similar-
ly, 20 percent of employers with policies created
smoking and: no-smoking sections in work areas
in response to employee complaints, while only6
percent of companies without policies segregated
work areas.
Union involvement in disputes between smok-
ers and nonsmokers has been very limited: in the
surveyed companies. In only 23 (18 percent) of
the 128 unionized firms t~hat have experienced
complaints has the union taken a role in a: smok-
ing dispute by defending the rights of the smoker
or the nonsmoker or by attempting to work out a
compromise. The survey data provide no evi-
dence that unions favor either smokers or non-
smokers in workplace disputes.
Allergies to Smoke
Eleven percent of the surveyed organizations
have had at: least one employee request a smoke-
free work area because of a medically certified
allergy to tobacco smoke. The vast majority of
these firms made accommodations for the indi-
vidual(s). One-third of the 73 firms with. smoke-
allergic employees transferred or moved the
worker who had the allergy; while only one
company relocated a smoker in response to the
request. Seven firms simply noted that they com-
plied with the request: without specifying how;
five firms asked smokers in the allergic individ-
ual's work area not to smoke; and four firms
began to enforce restrictions that already were in
effect. Two North Central nonmanufacturing
businesses indicated that: an employee's allergy
to tobacco smoke prompted the development of
their smoking policy:
Hi!dng Policies
Despite the apparent movement toward tihe
establishment of workplace smoking policies,
there is little evidence from the survey data to
suggest that companies have begun to give hiring
preference to nonsmoking job applicants, As Ta-
ble 7 shows, 82' percent of the surveyed organiza-
tions either have no policy on whether job appli=
cants" smoking habits can or should be
considered in the hiring process or they do not
allow hiring supervisors to give preference to
nonsmokers. Only four organizations (1 percent)
hire nonsmokers exclusively~ and 5 percent give
preference company-wide to nonsmoking appli-
cants. Ten percent of the companies allow indi-
vidual supervisors to give preference to nonsmok-
ers. Seven firms (1 percent) noted that they
discuss their policies on smoking with all job
applicants,.
All four of the firms that hire onlynonsmokers
have restrictive workplace smoking policies, two
of them total bans: One insurance firm, which
plans to have a total ban on smoking by August
1987,. defines a smoker as anyone "who has
smoked within the three-month period immedi;
ately prior to the application date." Seven per-
cent of the firms with policies always give hiring
preference to nonsmokers, compared with 3 per-
cent of the organizations without smoking re-
strictions. Nevertheless, 77 percent of the firms
that maintain smoking policies have no provi.
sions that favor nonsmoking job applicants:
Smoking Cessation Programs
Half of the responding organizations have tak-
en measures within the past five years to encour-
age employees to stop smoking. Sixty-nine per-
cent of large organizations have taken steps to
encourage workers to quit, while 46 percent of
the small establishments have done so. Similarly,
firms that have smoking prohibitions (64 per-
cent) are more likely than companies without
restrictions (42 percent) to urge employees to
kick the smoking habit.

employed by responding firms, in order of fre.

ment to quit smoking -- used by 39 percent of

firms -- is the distribution of literature on. the
subject. Sixteen percent: of the employers have
sponsored quit-smoking programs in-house dur-
ing non-work hours, while an almost equal pro-
portion (15 percent) have sponsored these pro-
grams on company time. Company-sponsored
quit-smoking programs appear most common in
large organizations and in nonbusiness establish-
menus. Ten percent of the firms have paid fees
for individual employees to attend outside smok-
ing cessation programs. Only 3 percent have paid
cash awards to employees who quit smoking, and
even fewer (1 percent) have given other awards.
Many of the firms that reimburse or give
awards to employees require that an employee
quit smoking for a specified length of time,.
ranging from one day to one year. The most
common required abstinence period is six
months. The smallest cash award; given to em-
ployees for kicking the habit is $10, reported by
one firm, while the largest -- paid by a large
Western nonmanufacturing firm after six
months -- is $500. One company pays employ-
¢es $250 after just one month of abstinence, but
rescinds the award if it discovers that the em-
ployee has started smoking again. A large South-
ern manufacturer gives T-shirts and snacks to
workers who quit for a single day and will take
the same employees out to dinner if they are still
abstaining one year later.
Of the other measures companies have taken
to encourage their smoking employees to quit,
company participation in the "Great American
Smokeout" was mentioned by the greatest num-
ber of respondents, followed by wellness pro-
grams and various forms of employee recognition
for success in quitting the habit. A few employ-
ers removed cigarette vending machines or ash-
trays, and several others distributed stop-smok-
ing aids, including one employer that paid the
cost of a nicotine substitute, if prescribed by a
doctor. Three companies held contests or raffles
among employees attempting to, quit smoking,
and one firm offered, lower-cost life insurance to
employees who abstained for at least 12 months:
Less than one-fourth of the companies were
able to provide data on the costs of their quit-
smoking incentive programs. Twenty-six of the
79 firms providing information, indicated that
their efforts (typically literature distribution)
had cost them nothing in the last five years,
while a large manufacturing firm with locations
nationwide reported the highest expenditure --
approximately $10,000 -- on its smoking cessa-
tion efforts. This company also est:imated that
200 employees have quit smoking as a result of
these programs. A Iarg¢ Western nonmanufac-
turer, despite having spent just $400 on its quit-
smoking endeavors, claimed that .its efforts (both

smoking. The median estimated five-year ex-
pense for incentive and award programs is $400
among firms that provided cost data, and a
median of I0 employees stopped smoking as a
result of company programs among the 57 firms
that reported their success rates.
Just over a quarter (27 percent) of the re-
sponding firms plan to offer programs in 1986 to
encourage employees to quit smoking, although a
number of other companies said they were con-
sidering such programs, Plans to offer these
programs are more likely in firms with work,
place smoking policies (40 percent) than in those
without (19 percent).
While many firms plan to offer the same
programs as they have in the past, some compan-
ies indicated that new tactics designed to help
employees quit smoking will be tried t;his year.
New wellness programs or smoking cessation
clinics will be available for the first time at a
number of firms, some in-house and others con-
ducted by an outside organization, such as the
American Cancer Soeiety~ A few organizations
expect to bring in outside speakers on the dan-
gers of smoking, while others have arranged for
seminars to be conducted by a local hospital.
A small North Central manufacturer noted
that it would be offering "a self-help program
.... sponsored by t~he American Heart Associ-
ation." The spokesperson for that firm also indi-
cated that the services of a hypnotist would be
available "'to those employees still needing help."
Another company said it plans to pay for "any
program an employee chooses" if that worker
expresses the desire to quit.

SU~BJECT: Home Office Non-Smoking Policy
As a result of changing attitudes of employees in the
workplace and recently verified health hazards expressed
in the Surgeon, General's report, employers across the
country are examining smoking practices within their
companies. Smoking is seen, by individuals,, employers,
and insurers as having a very negative impact on the
health of smokers and non-smokers alike.
In response to=all the scientific information and the
concerns of our employees, is
establishing a non-smoking, policy. Precisely, this new
non-smoking policy wiill prohibit smoking except at the
employee's desk. Smoking will not be permitted in other
areas on the second and th.ird floors. We recognize that
smoking is habit-forming and the average long-term
smoker would not be able to quit by decree if we were to
ban smoking entirely.
Although smoking at the employees' desks will be
permitted, should non-smokers in the area become
concerned or physically affected by the smoke, then
smoking may be prohibited in that particular workplace.
The merits of each ca:se will be reviewed individually.
Should a non-smoker be condUcting business at the desk
of a smoker~ the non-smoker may request that smoking:
cease during the course of his or her business. This
request should be honored.
This policy will be effective February I, 1986. At that
time, smoking wily no longer be permitted in any public
areas on the second and th.ird floors outside of the
employee's desk area (~.e., meeting rooms, hallways,~
copy rooms, restrooms, breakrooms, etc.)
I am c~nfident that implementation of this polZcy will
go smooth.ly. I hope we all remain sensitive to the
needs of smokers and non-smokers and maintain a friendly
and caring attitude toward one another.

SMOKING CONTROL
1. PURPOSE
To: promote the health and safety of all employees by providing safe and
healthy working conditions and; programs.
2. POLICY
The smoking of tobacco or any other substance or plant is a danger to
health and is a cause of material annoyance and discomfort to non-smokers.
To protect its employees' hea~th and welfare,
will regulate smoking in. the work-place.
3. PRACT ICE
Using already available means of ventilation or separation or partition,
we will attempt to reach a reasonable acco~modatlon, insofar as possible,
between the preference of non-smokingand smoking employees. All employees
have the responsibility for maintaining a constant awareness of conditions
that are dangerous to the health: of non-smokers and: those who smoke.
If reasonable accommodation that is satisfactory to all affected non-smoking
employees cannot be reached., the preferences of the non-smoking employees
will prevail and action will be taken to insure a substantially smoke-free
atmosphere. This means providing adequate notice, consistent enforcement
and, when necessary, applying uniform and fair discipline. All common areas,
i.e., reception areas, hallways, lunchrooms, restrooms, conference rooms and
meeting rooms will be no-smoking areas and clearly marked with "No Smoking"
signs. Work areas designated as no-smoking areas will be similarly signed.
Any employee objectlng to. smoke in his or her work area will initiate com-
pliance with these instructions. In all locations the individual responsible
for a particular building or work location will assure that non-smoking areas
are clearly identified and observed. Smoking will be allowed in designated
smoking areas or rooms which will be enclosed to prevent smoke from drifting
into non-smoklng areas, i.e., doors will be kept closed until smoke is cleared'.
Insofar as is reasonable, the Safety and Health Department will attempt to
maintain current information on smoking cessation and related! health education
information for use of interested employees.
For the first six months after the effective date of this revised instruction,
discipline will be administered only after prior review by the V'ice President-
Human Resources or designate.

Indoor pollut on
If you think your home is a bastion of clean air
in a polluted world, think ag c
U
from furnishings and building materials.
The "tighter" the house, the more seri-
eus the problem can be. Caulking,
weather stripping, and insulation cut
down on ventilation, and thus help seal in
pollutants. Most susceptible to indoor pol-
lution problems are the so-called super-
tight houses that were built within the
past 5 or 10 years.
In the typical American home, an
amount of fresh air equal to the volume of
air in the house leaks in about once an
hour. That's called a ventilation rate of
1.0 air change per hour. But superfight
houses may have ventilation rates of only
0.1 or 0.2 air change per hour. For super-
tight houses, a heat:recovery ventilator
(see page 596) is one wayto provide ven-
tilation while :conserving heat.
Ordinary tightening of an existing
house generally results in~ a: far smaller
reduction in ventilation rates. Typical
measures--caulking, weather stripping.
increased insulation--reduce air circula-
tion by 25 percent at most. Unless: a
powerful pollutant source is present, this
would not ordinarily push indoor pollution
concentrations to extremely high levels~
But you should nevertheless be aware of
signs ofl possible pollution problems.
These include condensation on the inside
of windows in winter, presence of mold or
mildew on walls or ceilings, stale odors
that linger, smarting eyes, or frequentl
respiratory illnesses, especially among

cha~en (see chart, page 598). Improved
ventilation is often the answer.
The pollutants that pose the greatest
threats inside people!s homes are not nec,
essarily the same ones that pose the
biggest problems outdoors. To under-
stand the indoor-nix problem, you will'
needito get acquainted with another cast
of potential,villains.
Household chemicals
A typical house harbors :dozens of, prod-
ucts that release organic chemicals. (One
study sponsored by the Environmental
Protection Agency found more than 350
organic chemicals in the air of a single
house.) Many household-chemical prod-
ucts~spra~ paints, insecticides, furniture
polish, and so on---come in aerosoliform,
assuring that tiny droplets of the product
will be dispersed into the air, and adding
an additional chemical (the propellant) to
those that are present in the basic prod-
uct. The average home contains some 45
aerosol cans.
Some of these chemicals, particularly
solvents, may pose hazaxds to your health.
Several: solvents used in, consumer prod-
ucts are known or suspected caxcinogens.
One of the worst, and most commonly
used, is methylene chloride.
Scientists have suspected for several
years that methylene chloride may be car-
cinogerdc, and a recent study provides
strong evidence that it is. The National
Toxicology Program carried out an inhala-
tion study of methylene chloride using
mice and rats. Last January, the NTP
reported its results to the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission: Methylene
chloride is an animal carcLnogen that
causes numerous tumors in both mice and:
rats. Experts agree that such findings in
test animals mean that a substance may
pose a cancer risk to humans.
The CPSC staff relied in part on the
NTP results to estimate the potential can-"
cer risk posed by methylene chloride. The
staff calculated that three of every thou-
sand people who used a methylene-
chloride-based paint stripper once per
year between age 25 and 70 (for three
hours each time in a dosed work room)
could develop cancer as a result. That was
CONSUMER REPORTS OCTOBER 1985

the highest cancer risk the CPSC sta~ had
ever calculated for any household-chemi-
cal hazard.
One reason to be concer~ed about
methylene chloride is that it is present in
large amounts in several widely used con-
sumer products. Each year,, some 135
million cans of paint stripper are sold. Vir-
tually all of them consist of 50 to 80
percent methylene chloride, Most of the
100 million cans of aerosol paint sold each
year also: contain methylene chloride, in
smaller amounts. So do about 30 percent
of aerosol hair sprays and: insecticides,
which include the chemical among their
"inert ingredients."
Last June, the CPSC staff asked the
commissioners for permission to work
with the industry on measures that would
reduce consumer exp~ure to methylene
chloride. The staff also asked the commis-
sioners to convene an advisory panel to
asse~ methylene chloride's risk to con-
sumers. (By law, the Commission must
create such a panel when a chemical poses
a chronic hazard.) Despite the staff's urg-
ing, the commissioners have not acted on
either staff request.
Ii~ you want to learn whether methylene
chloride is in a product, reading its label
won't help much~ Manufacturers usually
use catch-all terms--"chlorinated sol-
vents" or "aromatic hydrocarbens'--on
their ingredients lists, leaving them free
to use any of several chemicals, ~ of
which should be used with care.
Radon
Scient~ts have long puzzled over what
causes the roughly 15 percent of lung-
caac~ ca~_s that occur in people who
don't smoke. Increasing evidence sug-
gests that the second leading cause of
lung cancer may welli be exposure to
radon gas.
Of all the indoor pollutants we encoun-
ter, radon is probably the most danger-
ons. This naturally occm-ring radioactive
gas can be found under the earth in
varying amounts virtually everywhere in
the world. Like any gas, it diffuses out of
the ground and into the air---or into
houses that happen i to be built above.
Houses can trap radon gas that otherwise
would disperse into the atmosphere.
Where the earth is rich-in radon, the
gas can accumulate in homes to levels that
can significantly increase the risk of lung
cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protec-
tiou Agency estimates that radon causes:
between 5000 and 20,000 lung cancer
deaths in the U.S. each year. Colorless
and odorless, it inflicts its damage pain-
lessly over many years.
Radon decays into highly unstable ele-
ments called "radon daughters,,' which
attach to particles of dust or other matter
floating in the ai~. When the dust particles
are inhaled, the radon daughters lodge in
the lining of the lung. Most of the radon
daughters undergo radioactive decay
within minutes, emitting alpha particles
(consisting of two protons and two neu-
truns) that damage adjacent lung cells.

eral radon-mitigation techniques.

Radon is one ot the few indoor pollu-
tants whose health effects are well estab-
lished, primarily from studies of uranium
miners. Through those studies, research-
ers have established the lung-cancer risks
associated with various exposure levels.
Relying on a ]knifed number of measure-
ments, the EPA estimates that one million
homes (more than I percent of the
nation's total) have radon, levels that are
cause for remedial action~ Occupants of
those houses, even if they don't smoke,
face at least a 4=in-100 chance of develop-
ing lung cancer. Those are odds at least as
bad as smokers face. By contrast, non-
smokers not exposed to high radon levels
have only about a 2-in-1000 chance of
developing lung cancer,
For some people, the risk is much
higher than 4 in 100. Last winter, Stanley.
Watras, an engineer at the nearly com-
pleted Limerick Nuclear Power Plant in,
eastern Pennsylvania, set off a radiation
detector when entering one of the build-
ings. Investigation showed that Watras
had high,levels of radiation on his clothes
and in his beard and hair. The search, for
the source of Watras's radiatiou ended at
the home near Boyertown, Pa., where he
had lived for a year. It had the highest
indoor radon levels encountered to date
anywhere in the U.S.
Watras, it~ turned out, was living over a
large radon hot~ spot--a subterranean
rock formation called the Reading Prong,
which extends ~rom Pennsylvania through
New Jersey and into southern New York.
The radon level in Watras's home was
100 times the maximum level permitted
in uranium mines~ The ettect of living in
that house for 20 years, an EPA official
told CU, would be the same as the effect
of undergoing three chest X-rays per min-
ute for life, or smoking 50 to 100 packs of
cigarettes per day. The lung-cancer risk
for people exposed to such levels d radon
approaches 100 percent.
All states probably have some radon hot
spots. Unfortunately, there is at present
no way to tell i if~ you live over one. The
EPA is now planning a survey to assess
radon Ievels in a representative sample of
U.S. homes, but that survey may take four
years or more to complete. Though it may
help predict where the risk is greatest, it
willi not determine radon, levels in every
home. Indoor radon levels can vary tre-
mendously from one house to another.
(The house next door to Stanley Watras's,
for example, had no radon problem.) In
addition to the amount of uranium or
radium in the soil, a house's radon level
depends on several factors, including the
te0Ccure of the underlying soft and the con-
stroction of the house.
Formaldehyde
Building materials and,hwnishings con-
tribute to many cases of "sick building
syndrome" that have afliicted offices in
602
recent years. Volatile chemicals in some
of these products seep out into the indoor
atmosphere. Pollutants in this class
include pentachlorophenol (a wood pre-
servative), certain adhesives used in car-
pet backings, and formaldehyde, perhaps
the best-known of all indoor pollutants.~
Formaldehyde came to national atten,
tion several years ago largely because of
its presence in urea-formaldehyde foam
insulation. Many homeowners had this
foam pumped into hollow exterior walls to
save on energy costs, only to find that
formaldehyde gas from incorrectly pre-
paxed or applied foam could cause eye and,
respiratory irritation, sometimes severe.
Beyond those immediate health problems,
an industry-sponsored study showed that
long-term high exposures to formalde-
hyde caused nasal cancers in rats.
The CPSC banned the use of urea-for-
maldehyde foam insulation in 1982. A
Federal appeals court overturned the ban
the next year, but even before the ban
took effect the adverse publicity had
pretty much halted use of the foam.
There are plenty of other sources of
formaldehyde, however. Each year, bil-
lions of pounds of it are used in making
plywood and particleboard and: in treating
textiles such as draperies and carpets.
Mobile. homes, tightly constructed and
containing a great deal of partideboard,
axe espedatly prone to indoor formalde-
hyde problems.
Formaldehyde, unlike some pollutants,
isn't odorless. However, the gas caa have
irritant effects at levels that you can't
smell. If you think you may have a formal-
dehyde problem in your house, but you're
not sure, there are formaldehyde moni-
tors available at moderate cost. One
company that offers them is Air Quality
Research Inc., 901 Grayson St., Berkeley,
Calif. 94710. The detector is a small glass
vial that you expose to room air for a week

analysis. The cost;of the detector ($48 for
two, $30 for one) includes postage, labo-
ratory analysis, a written report, and a
booklet explaining the results.
Cembusffon products
Three of the major outdoor pollu-
tants-nitrogen dioxide, carbon monox-
ide, and particulate matter--are com-
mouly found indoors at levels higher than
those outdoors. Indoor exposures are
often high enough, to pose a hazard to
human health. Their major sources are
gas ranges, heating appliances (defective
central heating, systems, tmvented gas
and kerosene space heaters, wood-burn-
ing stoves);_and ci___~garette smoke.
Nitrogen dioxide is an irritant gas that
affects the respiratory tract: Long-term
exposure to levels above the outdoor stan-
dards may contribute to respiratory, dis-
ease, People who already have respira-
tory problems such as bronchitis and
asthma are at particular risk from nitro-
gen-dioxide exposure.
Carbon monoxide--odorless, colorless,
and undetectable to the senses--inter-
feres with the blood's ability to carry
oxygen to the cells of the body. People
with angina poctoris (a heart condition
Characterized by chest pain) are among
those most sensitive to carbon monoxide.
Also sensitive to it are fetuses, newborns,
.and people with chronic lung disease or
anemJao
Particulate matter includes a wide vari-
ety of substances that float in the air as
discrete particles, either as solids or as
liquid droplets. Particles may be toxic
themselves or act as carriers for other
toxic substances. Most harm.rul~are small
-particles that, when inhaled, are carried
deep into the lungs:
• People at special risk from particulates
include those with emphysema, bronchi-
tis, or asthma, those with heart disease,
smokers, children, and the elderly.
Here's a rundown on the major sources
of combustion pollutants:
Gas rangea. Used in about 30 oercent:
of U.S, households, gas ranges may pose
problems indoors mainly because of. their
nitrogen-dioxide emissions. Particularly
in urban areas, pollution leaking in from
outdoors, combined with the nitrogen
dioxide produced by the ranges, can cre-
ate indoor nitrogen-dioxide levels that
exceed the standard established by the
EPA for outdoor air.
Kerosene heaters. More than 12 mil-
lion unvented kerosene heaters are now in
use. Three years ago, CU tested kerosene
heaters and concluded that they could cre-
ate potentially hazardous indoor pollutant
levels (CONSUM~-R RF_a'OaTS, October
1982). Even though today's heaters burn
somewhat more cleanly, subsequent stud-
CONSUMER REPORTS OCTOBER 1985
ies measuring pollutant levels in homes
with kerosene heaters have supported ;our
conclusion.
Researchers at the Pierce Foundation
Laboratory at Yale University recently
monitored 150 COnnecticut homes that
used kerosene heaters. They found; that,
for half, the homes, average nitrogen-diox-
ide exposure levels during heater use
exceeded the standard set bythe EPA for
outdoor air. Seventy-one percent of, the
homes had~ sulfur dioxide levels that
exceeded the long-term EPA standard. Ao,
part of the same study, researchers evalu-
ated the health,of children in 174 families
with kerosene beaters andiin 173 families
without heaters. They found that children
in homes with kerosene heaters experi-
enced significantly more days of acute
respiratory illness than children in homes
without kerosene heaters.
Gas space heaters. Unrented gas
space heaters are most commonly found
in rural areas of;the Seuth,and Southwest.
About six million are now in use. Their
high outputs of carbon monoxide and
nitrogen~dioxide probably make them the
most polluting ofl all unvented combustion
appliances.
In a recent study, researchers at the
University of. California's Lawrence
Berkeley Laboratory measured pollutant
levels produced by a variety of gas space
heaters. For carbon monoxide, maximum
levels measured indoors were nearly
three times the long-term outdoor-air
standard. Nitrogen-dioxide levels ranged
from, 8 to 29 times higher than the out-
door nitrogen-dioxide standard.
Tobacco smoke. About 54 million
Americans--one third of all ad,lts~
smoke tobacco, mainly cigarettes, That
smoke adds copious amounts of parl|cu-
lares to indoor air; it also adds hundreds of
different gases, including carbon monox-
ide and nitrogen dioxide.
The impact of cigarettes on smokers is
all too clear: Cigarettes account for, MU)ut
85 percent of the 120.000 lung Cancer
deaths that occur eachyear in,the U,iled
States. They also conLribute to thougands
of cases of emphysema, cardiova~:ular
disease; and other aliments.
Cigarette smoke also harms c~rtain
"passive smokers'--people who

and elsewhere. Very young children, of
smoking parents have an increased ir~ci-
deuce of: bronchitis and pneumonia, and
are more likely to be hospitalizol

PREFACE
The 1AA is most, interested in the effects of advertising on children, a
so-called vulnerable group. For this reason, we publish this study as a valu-
able addition to the literature. It is:based on very careful research by a most
qualified organization employing, methodology which we have examined
thoroughly and, found to: be of the highest standards, It is also research
which has generated a comparable international data base~
The IAA believes in the freedom to advertise all~ products:and services
which are legally sold and legally consumed. Further, the IAA believes that
this freedom,is indivisible in the sense that restrictions applied to one group
of products inevitably lead' to, erosion of the freedom to advertise other
products.
These beliefs led us :to:publish"Tobacco Advertising Bans and Consumption
in 16 Countiries" (in 1983. and 1986), which clearly showed tihat the
implementation of advertising bans was generally not followed by decreases
in overall tobacco consumption.
It would be convenient for those against advertising to indict it asa main
cause in how and why people buyand consume products: But advertisingis
only one of many variables affecting consumer choices.
This five-nation study bears on all of these issues and should be an impor-
tant addition to a growing literature on them.

1. EDITOR, S
INTRODUCT ON
Whether tobacco: advertising.affects overall tobacco: consumption is. a
complex problem. The bulk of research on this topic points to little or
no relationship between the two: A subset of this issue concerns the impact
of cigarette.advertising on,smoking initiation bythe young: do juveniles start
to smoke because t:hey have been exposed to print and broadcast
advertisements?
Important Evidence
The 5-country study reported l~ere provides strong evidence that adver-
tish~g pla)w a miniscule role in the' initiation oJsmoking: by the young.
Instead, parents, siblings and friends appear to be the determining factors
when ctfildren sta~ to smoke.
New Evidence
Such a point h~ been made and p~oved before. However, this recent
study (:1984~ 1986)provides.not only covvoborative evidence but also: a new
angle by focussing on five countries whe~ the control of cigarette:adverfis~
ing ranges from,a ban (Norway)to rather limited restrictions (:Hong Kong
and Spain), witch Australia and the United Kingdom: standing in between.
It estahlishes thatJbmi~v and peer influences appear to be tt~e determin~

advertish~g or not; wittY; aH~five countries rq~orth~g the similar impact ~?[:

New Methodology,
Tiffs stiudy also breaks new methodological ground in tihat, for the first
time, an established Smoking P~vvalence Estimator has been applied mter-
nationaHi: to produce a comparable measure among countries with~differ-
i ng.tobaeco-advertising cont~rols,
Besides, instead of using, diaries or impersonal questionnaires adminis,
tered at school as is common in this field, the present survey used persot~al
interviews conducted at home. Again, this:is a first international methodo,
logical breakthrough which has generated a comparable: international
database about juvenile smoking, initiation:

Finally, a./br broader age range (7 to: 15 /'ld.years old) ~'re37~ondenls
were interviewed than in mos! other studies in order to provid~ a mo~e
comprcl~cnsive understanding of the factors involved.
Implications
Such findings, would seem to, challenge the validity' oI~ fairly common
assertions that t,he young start: to smoke because they have been,exposed to
cigarclle advertising~ They also raise questions abouti the effectiveness of
tobacco.advert~ising bans (*)]he fact that Norwayhas hadlsuch a~complete
ban since 1975, yet retains:relatively high, proportions of adult and juvenile
smokers, clearly points to other factors.
Is/he Evidence Believable?
This:study was initiated and financed by the tobacco industiry: N~) one
should question its.right to:engage in research~ any more t~han research by
the antismoking movement should be consideredl suspicious a, priori. The
test, instead, should be: "is: it good research?"
The findings reported here were provided by the Lond0n-based Child-
ren's Research, Unit (CR U); which is an experienced research,house that has
been,employed by both business and government (see Appendix A): CRU
reliedl in part on,the met~hods and findings of studies commissioned by the
British ~GOvernment in 1982: and11984, but it, also d ~ewon its own,extensive
international, research experience to improve on the British Government
study:s methodology, as was explained above (Appendices B andl C detail
tt~e research methodology used in the five country studies).
I think that t~he methodology used by CRUiwas appr, opriate and that the
findings are credible -- after all, other studies have reached similar conclu~
sions but t~he reader should reach his:or her own conclusions, in any.case,
the newdata presentedl here, collected internationally, and in a comparable

Limitations
It, may be objected that this stludy has reduced cultural differences among
the five countries to a single factor, namely, the differences among national
tobacco-advertising controls. This is not quite correct since there are refer-
ences to cultural habits -- particularlyin Hong Kong and Spain. However,
even, if this criticism is valid and we need further studies: of the role of other

cultural factors in the initiation of smoking bythe young, thisvery require-
ment. also applies to those who. advocate cigarette-advertising bans and
other restrictions all over the world. They too ignore or downplay the
varying impacts of cultural values and customs:when theypropose the same
solutions -- bans and restrictions-- everywhere:
The findings reportedl here deal mainly with juvenile smoking initiation,
and do,not investigate factors accountingfor the continuation of smoking
behaviour. Only additional research can explain the latter but, meanwhile,
the Children's Research Unit's study can be considered to have thoroughly
investigated factors influencing the initiation of smoking by youngsters on a
cross-national basis.
In my editorial role, I have asked the authors of this report to clarify their
methods: and findings, and to limit their interpretations rio what can be
reasonably inferred from the data. As such, the following study provides
valuable evidence for researchers, policy-makers, advetxising practitioners
and concerned citizens.

2. THE ISSUE
There is a growing body of national studies:identifying factors account~
ing for "juvenile smoking initiation," that is, the conditions andlmotivations
associated with~chiidren starting to smoke (see Appendix G for a review of
that literature). Besides, whether substantiated or not,: there is a. fairly
widespread belief around the worldl that advertising constitutes a major
factor in this initiation process. In contrast, there has been, a lack of
systematic cross-national research to compare juvenile smoking initiation
under different country, conditions.
Nations, of course, vary considerably in such factors as values, economic
development~, political systems and social stratification. Controlling for all
of these factors is a daunting task indeed for any researcher. However,
consideringthat one common remedy has been proposed ro combat~juvenile
smoking, namely; to ban or severely, restrict tobacco ad~,ertising, it was
highly desirable to compare'countries that. dif.[~r significantly in terms of
puhtic policies toward tobacco advertising, in order to, determine the
relative'hnpact of tobacco advertising on why juveniles start, smoking~
To this:end, the:tobacco industry's international information organisa-
tion (INFOTAB) commissioned the Children's Research Unit (CR U -- see
Appendix: A)to determine tihe extent to which tobacco advertising influ-
enced juvenile smoking: initmtion in a sample of countries selected for their
different regulatory systems regarding the advertising of tobacco products
(see Appendix F for further details about tihese systems)i.

3. BASIC RESEARCH
APPROACH
The programme of research reported here has involved independent
research investigations in four countries; conducted during 1984 (Austra-
lia); 1985 (Norway)and |986 (Spain and Hong Kong). This: research
programme has:attempted to investigate comprehensively juvenile smoking
initiation, with particular attention being given, to the role of advertising.
Approximately. 1000 interviews were conducted in each one of these four
countries with male and female respondents aged 7-15/16 years, according
to a quota sample. All~interviews were conductedl personally and in-home,
with parentall permission and the willing participation of the child (see
Appendices C and E for further details)~
First of all~ itl was important to apply a, reliable est:imator of smoking
prevalence so thaticountrieswith varyingpolicies towards tobacco advertiS-
ing control could be meaningfully compared. CRU therefore decided to
apply Bewley's Smoking Prevalence Estimator (see Appendix D); widely
accepted in this field, throughout this international researct~ project. Since
the U K Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (:OPCS) studies (:Dobbs
& Marsh 1, 2*):had also applied: Bewley's modified estimator in 1982 and
1984, this enabledlcomparisons to be made between data from the United
Kingdom (OPCS)and other countries (CRU studies):
Four countries were chosen as. providing important comparisons in
relation to the degree of media exposure allowed for tobacco advertising at
the time of the:survey:
I. AUSTRALIA was selected as: having similar voluntary agreements to
t hose i n t he United Kingdom as far as rest rictiio ns o n to bacco ad~/ertising
are concerned.
2. NORWAY was chosen because there has.been, a total ban on, tobacco
advertising, in force since 1975.
3. SPAIN and
4. HONG KONG were selected to provide further contrasts in that tobac-
co advertising, was permitted across: all media in tliese two countries.
* The numbers in parentheses refer to entries in the Bibliograph_~' (iAppendix H) at ttle end of
this report.

The UIK OPCS studies provided the baseline essential for investigating.
Australia, NOrway, Spain and Hong Kong, and the results from all five
countries are considered here (NOte: In the United Kingdom there were three:
separate stiudies which are treated here as:one -- see Appendices D and E).
The overall approach adoptedl in this report isto illustrate the picture
which emerges from each, national survey. It must be stressed, however, that
"regular smokers" are always defined in the same way aschildren who smoke
at least one cigarette every week, andlthat "children"always means children
of comparable age, when this appears to be important (see Appendix D).
Against this background, this research report considers the national
patterns of smoking, the ways in which smoking seems.to start,.and the part
which advertising may play in this process, against the impact of the social
and familial environments.
With a study of this complex nature, there are many possible analytical
breakdowns: of the statistics, such, as boys versus girls, those who live in
towns versus those who live in the country, and social and cultural factors:
However, the purpose of the research was to examine differences among
five countries; and the data is therefore presented here five ways by country
of study~ and within this,:by smokers against non-smokers, and often by age
as well. Furt:her fragmentation would seemlikely to bring confusion rather
than enlightenment within the context of this report.

4. RESULTS OVERVIEW
In Norway, for eleven years(since 1975); there has been a total ban: on
tobacco advertising, but the proportion of those aged between 11 and 15
years who can be classified as "regular smokers," according to this survey is
just over one in ten (see Appendix D for the definition of"regular smoker"):
In Spain, on the other hand, minor advertising controls have been
introduced in the last few years, yet the proportion of regular juvenile
smoking is :rather less than that in Norway andi for that matter, than the propor-
tion in Australia where control of tobacco advertising follows a different pattern.
In the United Kingdom, there are restrictions of still other kinds;yet; once again,
the :proportion:of I I-15 year-olds:who claim to smoke regularly follows :almost
exactly the same pattern as in Norway.
In other words; on the basisof the varying: nationalpatterns regarding
the control of tobacco advertising, one could notpredict which country
would have the lowest incidence of juvenile smoking~ Conversely, juvenile
smoking, incidence statistics would not help predict, which country has the
strongest restrictions on tobacco, advertising. Clearly, factors other than
tobacco advertising and its regulatory control:must have played a key role in
juvenile smoking initiation and incidence.
This cross-national research~ indeed reveals such key factors, as: I): the
circumstances in which children began to experiment, 2) the role playedi by
the smokingbehaviour of parents, brothers, sisters and friends, and 3) the
challenge of daredevilry. Such factors are remarkably similar from country
to country (:in Hor~g Kong the pattern deviates: in the extent to which
children smoke ati all, but remains verysimilar on almost all!other issues).
On the other hand, the juvenile respondents:in this survey ascribed very little
importance to advertising as an initiating factor:
To summarise, the role of advertising in. tlhe smoking initiation process
has been internationally examined within and between, countries with
different approaches to tobacco advertising controls (,see Appendices E and:
F), ranging from countries with a few restrictions, to one with a~complete
adVertising.ban (Norway).
h7 all cases, it is apparent that tobacco advertising does'not significantly
#~/hwnce the smoking initiation process asJbr as.children and young:people
are ~,'oncerned. Instead, the decision to start smoking #~volves mostly a
combination of personal, family and social factors,

3. The incidence of regular smoking among 115 year-olds (tihe oldest age
group where comparable international data are available)was highest in
Norway; a country.with a total~advertising ban for tobaeco, and lowest
in Hong Kong where there were relativelyfew restrictions on tobacco
advertising,
4. The start of smoking was found to depend very much on the influence of
family andl friendS, and the chances of a child smokingin a household
w.here there were no other smokers ~vere low fsee chapter 8)~
5~ The influence Of advertising on smoking initiation was found to be insig-
nificant in relation to the overwhelming pressures of personal (family
and friends) inflUences surrounding tlhe potent:ial smoker (see chapter 8).

6. THE PREVALENCE
OF SMOKING
In Tables I andi 2; information is given for the total sample (7:15,years)
and for I I- 15 year-olds only~ the latter being comparable with t~he United
Kingdom surveys.
For I1-15 year-olds in every country, withthe exception of Hong Kong,
the position was similar: about half said that they had ne~er smoked; and
between one fifth and two fifths said that tihey had tried once and never
again. Bearing in mind that iti is between these two groups (tihose who had
never smoked and those who had tiriedl once and never again) that all
United Kingdom adjustment was made (see Appendix D); three out~ of four
children aged between I I and 15 years had never smoked more than oncc:
On the other hand, in, all countries, between less. tihan one in ten and
approximately one in seven,-- lowesti in Spain (~7%), highest in Scotland
(16%)i and Norway. (113%) -- said that they were now regular smokers; that
is, smoked at least one cigarette aweek (see Appendix D for a definition of
"regular smoker").
Hong Kong, however, differs dramatically from all the other countries
studied, in that the proportion of children, who smoked -- despite less
stringent advertising controls than elsewhere --- is lower than anywhere else;
yet confirms almost all the remaining findings. In Hong Kong, only 3%
children aged 11-15 reported that tihey were regular smokers, against
who said that they had never even, hadl a single puff.
Part of this difference is undoubtedly due to social factors, In Hong
Kong, and nowhere else, there was a major variation between the smoking
habits of boys and girls. Looking at all those who have ever smoked:
• In England, for every 100 boys, there were 95 girls who had ever smoked.
• In Wales, for every 100 boys, there were 102 girls whohad ever smoked.
• In Scotland, for every 100, boys, there were 1i00: girls who had ever
smoked.
• In, Australia, for every 100 boys, there were I00 girls, who. had ever
smoked.
• In Norway, for every 100 boys, there were 73.girls who had ever smoked.
• In Spain, for every 100 boys, there were 73 girlswho had ever smoked.
But,
• In Hong Kong, for every 100 boys; there were 42 girls who had ever
smoked.
I0

This sex difference is also reflected in tihe smoking habits of parents, as we
shall soon see.
Naturally,. there is a progression upwards, the older the child becomes,
This increase is governed by a number of factors: as the child becomes older,
adult aspirations and identification with adults increase, the child's peer
group widens and includes peers with a greater variety, of behaviour pat=
terns, the child's mobility and spending power increase, and tihe age for
legal purchase of the product approaches: Taking the two age extremes on~
which information is available in all countries:(:l i year-olds:against 15 year-
olds), we find the foilowingpatterns for those smoking one or more ciga-
rettes a week:

It is worth noting the higher incidence of smoking in Norway where a
tobacco~advertising ban has: been in operation since 1975~ Hong Kong has
far fewer smokers at age 15, as does Australia. Even at 15, however, there is.
no country where children/young people have reached the smoking levels
of their parents, as shown below:

One final point: for the sake of simplicity in reporting these data, we have
considered all smoking as equal, whether the number smoked per week is
one or forty, or even more.The classifications used inall surveys allowed for
this aspect, and more detailed breakdowns are shown in t~he following table:

Norway 4 6 3 13,

NOte: Hong Kong figures were too Ioxv to be broken down.
Again, the similarity is obvious, except for Spain. In most countries,
there are similar lower proportionsat the two,extremes -- less than seven
cigarettes a week, or more than forty~ The middle-of-the-road group is
usually about twice the size of either of these groups,
These findings suggest that, irrespective of advertising restrictions, the
amount smoked in each country appears to be independent.of the variation
in advertising controls, although one argument advanced for such govern-
ment restrictions has been that they itrfluence not the fact but the amount ~[
smoking.

7. THE DIRECT IMPACT
OF ADVERTISING
ON JUVENILE SMOKING
INITIATION
The extent to,which "outside messages"from the tiobacco industry have
made their mark on the youngcan only. be considered against the smoking
patterns:described above. The four country surveys revealed that tt~e major
-- indeed the overwhelming -- influence on the start of smoking behaviour
among young people was the related behaviour of friends and family, and
that this is: almost identical in allithe countries studied.
In all surveys outside the United Kingdom, direct questions were asked
about potential influences. In Norway, Spain, Australia and Ho,ng Kong,
children were shown a list of items which might have influenced t:hem(*:).
Their answers witch regard to what might have influenced them, mosl are
discussed in greater detail: in the next~ section, but what is shown below are
references:to:advertising as prompted responses (i.e. from a proposed list):

In Australia, no boys and' I% of girls answered "advertising"in reply to:a
differently phrased but similar question (see bottom of Table 3 on page 16)~
Few adults believe that they are ever directly influenced by advertising.
However, there is a good dcaliof evidence (3~ 4, 5; 6):that children are less
likely to be coy. or self-deceiving in this: respecti certainly, in the case of
many other products, lhcv will happily admit to advertising pressure, in
such a,context indeed cvcn if we do assume that ctfildren are as reticent as
adults- -,the similar very lt)w percentages rcpo~tcd in,the above table imply
littlc advertising influence, compared to other ['actors.
(*), Respondents were shown a list ~1 possible reasons for starting ~o smoke (see Table 3 on
pagc 16).
13

As this study concentrated on investigating tobacco issues; there was
insufficient scope for similarly investigating other products such as alcohol
and confectionery~ However, in order to put the tobacco results intio
context, respondents were questioned; about t~heir brand awareness of
cigarettes, alcohol and confectionery(interpreted respectivelyas "beer" and
"chocolate"). The exception was Australia where advertising awareness
about these other products.was.not covered. The findings were as follows:
• In:Norway(where t~here isno advertising of cigarettes), 7.0% menti0nedi
the leading brandl ofcigarcttc, against 711% who mentioned the leading
brand of chocolate, and 7.7% the leading brand of beer.
• In Spain, the pattern was quite different, with 77% mentioning the
leading brandlofcigarette. 63% the leading brand of chocolate, and
the leading: brand of beer.
• In~Hong Kong, 77% mentioned the leading brand of cigarette, 87% the
leading brand of chocolate, and 91%the leading brand of beer:
• In Australia, at least 87% said that tihey had seen cigarette advertising,
but as the full~ Australian, report comments: "Awareness, then, of cig-
arette advertising was high amongst all age groups: This finding essen-
tially reflects children's awareness of many adult products - for
example, kettles, soap powder, petfood,etc. - rather than a motivation,
to purchase these products,"
In other words, brand awareness of cigarettes is quite high in all the
countries surveyed, irrespective of whether advertising: is allowed or not:
This is also true regarding non-tobacco products and even those which the
young: do not use (for example, kettles, petfoods and detergents).
Other parts of this report suggest that such cigarette brand awareness is
picked up from family~ friends andl other people when,cigarette advertising
~s not allowed. However, the fact tihat cigarette b~andl awareness: is high~
even in countries with no advertising, is related to t;he industry's argumenti
t:hat the purpose of cigarette advertising is to induce brand switching -- noti
jul~t brand awareness which constitutes only the initial step, and can be
generated through means other than advertising~
i¸4

8. STARTING TO SMOKE
The cross-national pattern is one of remarkable consistency, in the pro-
portion of children who smoke, and in the extent to. which they smoke.
However, what are the influences which seem to be at work in starting them,
to smoke? As:CRU's research experience with children has shown them to
be highly aware of brands andladvertising in different markets, regardless of
product usage, this international study set out to consider children's own:
viewsof the ways in which they'came tO smoke in tihe first place. The impact
of advertising as an initiating factor was included in this framework.
The conclusions which emerge from this international survey.will cause
little surprise, at least in t:he centrali t~heme. On, tihe one hand, there is the
daredevil approach to the first puff; on, the other, there is the influence of
friends and schoolmates, and of family. Theyare largely"common-sensical"
and corroborate several nationall studies (see Appendix G), although in a
comparative and comparable manner, and in the context of varying.degrees
of tobacco advertising control.
In this.research project, questions were asked on the circumstances of tihe
first smoke. Results of"why" and "with whom" are given in Tables 3and 4.
Unfortunately~ there are no UK data on"why," but a generally comparable:
question, was asked in all countries outside the United Kingdom. For this:
purpose, a list of possible reasons.was shown toall respondents to tihe CRU
surveys, and a further one was. askedl on where the first cigarette was
smoked.
In,all countries, hardly surprisingly, among reasons given,."To see what it
was like" came in first place, followed by variations on the theme of
conformity (19%in Australia said that all their friends smoked; the same
proportion in Spain said that someone gave them one)or of daredevilry
(38%,gave this answer in Hong Kong, 7% in Australia and 4% in Norway)~
Greater interest probably lies in Table 4 which presents answers.to t~he
question: "With whom?" Certain cultural differences were apparent al.
though detailed examination of these was not possible within the scope of
the studies ¢onducted. However, a couple of the most obvious differences
can be explained by the fact that, in Spain, iti is.the local wedding custom for
children to be given a~quick puff of a cigarette, to indicate adulthood. This
would account for tlhe very different pattern in Spain -- not merelythe high
proportion given cigarettes (referred to in t:he above paragraph)i, but also the
far higher percentage (3 [%)i who referred to a special occasion (see Table 3)~
This was a category' added for Spain alone, and not enquired about
elsewhere.

although it seems very likely that the higher percentages mentioning father and mothcr~
outside the United Kingdom reflect more recent recall by younger smokers:
(**), Totals add up to more lhan, 100Oil: because severallanswers were allowed.
17¸

Similar variations spilled into answers given on environments and loca-
tions: Clearly; we would expect that the most common environment for the
first puff would be with, friends and peer groups: with one exception, this
proved to be the case. The exception, once again, isSpain where "others in
family", "father" and "mother" score more heavily; again stressing the
special: occasion already mentioned. However, in all countries whether
"hole-in-the-corner" or flagrantlyopen, the first smoke with friends seems
to be a form of initiation ceremony; something which makes tihe smoker
more like an adult.
Table 4 has much more to tell us~ Excepti in Hong Kong, less than onein
ten youngsters first practised on their own; but a fan higher proportion,than
this -- between a fifth and just over a, third -- started in the company of
someone in their family~ Indeed, an additional question, asking where the
child was at the time of first trial, shows that the proportions saying they
started within their own home were as follows:
FIRST CIGARETTE TRIAL AT HOME
11-15 Years
England l 15c~b
Wales 12'
Scotland 12
7-15 Years
Australia (7-16 years) 38%
NOrway 29
Spain 26(*)
Hong Kong 55
(*:):"Special occasions" in Spain usually occur outside of the home.
Perhaps because of question wording or question, positiioning in the
surveys (although reasons are not clear), United Kingdom figures are far
lower than elsewhere, but stiill remain substantial.
.All this clearly highlights tihe importance of parental attitudes. The U K
Gc~vernment/OPCS study conducted in 1984 by Dobbs and Marsh stated
that: "A number of studies have suggested that the development of children's:
smoking experience is influenced by'the smoking behaviour of tlheir parents:
and siblings. The additional 1984 questionnairetherefore included a ques-
tion about the smoking behaviour of pupils' families."
18¸

This. 1984 OPCS study goes on to report the proportions of family
smoking, and shows how they compare with,other data. It then comments
that: "The survey shows that pupils who smoked were more likely to live
among smokers. In England and Wales, for example, only 18%,of pupils
who were regular smokers, and 22% who were occasional smokers; said that
no one at home smoked, compared with 46% of pupils who have never
smoked. The proportions of pupils whose fathers smoked rose from 39%of
those who had never smoked; through,46% of those who had tried smoking
once and 46% of those who used to smoke, to 50% of occasional smokers
and 52%of regular smokers. The proportions of pupils with mothers, sisters
or brothers who smoked followed a similar pattern: in each case, the pro-
portion rose with the smoking.experience of tihe pupils, sometimes substan-
tially: For example, in England and Wales, only 7%.of pupils who had never
smoked had a brother at home who smoked, compared with 33%of pupils
who smoked regularly~ lin S¢otland,.there was less variation in the propor-
tion of pupils with, mothers or fathers who: smoked; the only significant
differenees were between regular smokers: and all otiher smokers."
This: has been quoted at some length from the United Kingdom survey
since, in other countiries, the pattern is almost identical. It is noti possible to
make exact comparisons, but Table 5 shows the close similarities in the key
groups:
Table 5

Thus, as already, quotedi less than one in five of regular smokers in
England came from households where there were no other smokers; and the
proportion dropped to onlyone in ten in Wales and Scotland. In Spain, it
was:less than,one in ten, and in.Hong Ko,ng far less. Of the countries studied
byCRU, the highest proportion of juvenile regular smokers coming from
19¸

households where there were no other smokers was: in Australia (equal to
the United Kingdom)~ Even there, they still numbered less than one in five
of the smoking group -- not more than one fifth, in other words, have
automatically to turn to "other reasons" for smoking,.
Altogether, whatever the nature of tobacco, controls in. the countries
studied, young people are three times as likely to smoke when they live in a
househoM where anybody:smokes as they'are in a household where there
are no smokers at all.
Children are exposed to manydifferent~ influences such,as:the authority
of parents and the comradeship and rivalry of siblings and/or peers. For
instance, in the United Kingdom, it is very clear that the habits of brothers.
and sisters are of more importance than those of parents; the latter inevita-
bly playing a larger role in one-child households (and, in consequence,
presumably playing that role in, eveo, household, as far as the firstborn is:
concerned).
A note is relevant here on Hong Kong. Among all those interviewed (that
is, the total sample of 1003 respondents); 44% said that their father smokedl
-- an identical proportion to those in England -- and 55% said that they.
came from a family' where somebody, smoked, compared with 65%, in
England. However, whereas: in England 37% reported that their mother
smoked, only 4% gave this answer in~Hong Kong. In other wordS, it would
appear from the very smalll numbers of children and mothers smoking in
Hong Kong, that the maternal role is critical in juvenile smoking initiation
in, that country:

APPENDIX A
BACKGROUND TO
THE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH UNIT (CRU)
The Children's Research unit~ is a London-based market research com-
pany specialising in research with children and young people in the U hired
Kingdom and internationally: It was set up in 1972 by Glen Smilh, a
child psychologist, who is a fulli member of the British Market Research
Society. CRU has played a leading role in developing the field of children's
research, in the United Kingdom and abroad, by applying modifications of
established clinical procedures for obtaining information from children and
young people.
Studies have been conducted in a wide variety of areas such as town
planning (play facilities), road safets,; career guidance, drugabuse, toys and
games, computers and software, magazines and comics, food and drink, TV
programmes, and advertising in all media.
CRU regularly disseminates information concerning its research findings
about a wide variety of markets,.via the international conference circuit and
professional publications. In addition, CR U is frequently consulted by the
media (television, press andl radio)i regarding children's reactionsto:adver-
tising, their consumer behaviour patterns, interests/lifestyles, and other
issues: Channel 4 Television (London)recently'filmed a session at CRU?s
headquarters where children were being.interviewed about television adver-
tising~
CRU~s clients include major manufacturers; advertisers, professional
and trade associations,, media groups, government units (the U K Central
Office of Information - madsafety; and the European.Parliament - anti-drug
campaigns), banks, film companies, television groups and publishing
houses.
In addition to carrying out~ research,on a national and international scale,
the company, also conducts research at its Observation Studio, with a
t~wo-way mirror facility,, and at its Electronic Research Laboratory, CRU
also runs a regular children's panel!

APPENDIX B
INTERVIEWING CHILDREN- GENERAL COMMENTS
In children's research, CRUI is frequently asked t:he question: "At what.
age can children be considered 'reliable'research respondents?" Since a wide
range of individual differences.can be found whenever children are grouped
in chronolOgical-age levels, answers to:such a question can only be couched
in general terms.
Overall, CRU's policy (dictated by past experience): is to interview
children from a minimum age of 5 years. Clearly, due to the 5.year-old's lack
of conceptual development, interview exchanges have to be short, to the
point and carefully structured, in order to allow the child freedom of
response: Childrenunder the age of 5 years are move productively assessed
using direct observation, methods, as applied in, the: company's two-way-
mirror Observation Studio:
It is. of fundamental importance to any research programme involving
children to utiIise rapport~building techniques which aim to establisl~ rap-
port between the interviewer and the child as early as possible in the
interview situation. Unless the child is particularly sophisticated, there isa
strong tendency in adulff.child interview settingsfor the child to behave in
approval-seeking.terms; when confrontedl by an unfamiliar adult. This can
induce the child, t~o respond in a manner which he/she considers the
interviewer wants to see/.hear, if this attitude prevails, the interview
becomes worthless.
In order to prevent t~his:happening, CRU interviewers convey to:the childl
at an early point in,the interview that it is primarily what he/~he thinks/feels
about the subject under discussion which is important, and, as such, there
are no "right"or"wrong,answers:when evaluative questions are posed'~ The
interviewer communicates: this also: at selected intervals during the inter-
view, to serve as reinforcement~ and/.or as:a confidence-building technique.
We have found~ that this usually produces honest responses:from children
who, in many cases, are often unaccustomed to the experience of meeting an
unfamiliar adult who is interested in their views.
Location
The choice of interview setting can also enhance rapport. For an investi,
gation:of this nat~ure and complexity; CRU has:found that: school settings:
are not conducive to investigating complex or cont~roversial areas, given the:

authoritarian overtones and lack of privacy for the individual' respondent.
Therefore, CRU always interviews children in private ati their home.
In tl~is context, a basic flaw is present in a number of studies relating to
cigarettes:and smokingbehaviour, that is, the interviewswere conducted in
the classroom~schoollsetting, wit:h all the attendant overtone of authoritar-
ian attitudes which can bias the respondents! wilfingness to provide honest
answers. This is particularly true in the case of controversial issues~ such as.
juvenile smoking, where the expected attit~ude of the school towards under-
age smokers is one of disapproval~ Some over-claiming of smoking inci-
dence can, also occur amongst: the more "rebellious,' pupils.
Lessening the Interview "Task" from
the Child's Viewpoint
CRU usually, interviews children at home after being at school all! day:
Rather than becoming an extension of the school day, the interview expe-
rience provides a refreshing contrast -- not only. in terms of subject matter
but also by having a shared experience between interviewer and child, with
no distractions. Confrontational, interrogat:ive interviewing is:avoided at all
costs; and usually the child sits next to the interviewer in order to enhance
the "shaving,' climate throughout the interview. Additionally, if fatigue
becomes apparent, rest periods take place when the child discusses subjects.
which are consideredl importanti to him~tter.
Self-Completion Methods Are Inadequate
In view'of tihe complexity of the issues surrounding smoking and non-
smoking deeision~making processes, and the influences impinging on such
processes, attempts: to investigate this. area among children by using self
completion questionnaires are clearly inadequate. The self-completion
questionnaire offers a, very poor substitute for the individual personal
interview in which, full explanatory reassurances: and. clarifications can be
given, to the child. The classroom setting, works, against the individual in
need of reassurance or clarification, and it may be subject to peer-group
influences.
Administrator Bias
Previous studies have drawn attention to the variable effects of using.an
adult reference figure well-known to the respondents (,a teacher, in,the case
of the Ledwit~h study~ 8) as.the questionnaire administ~rator. Results have
been found to:vary according to.the orientation of the teachers concerned,
23¸

that~ is, as a smoker or a non-smoker: Ledwith doesnot attempt to describe
the orientation of the teachers concerned in his study, but this factor may
have affected the answers he obtained. CR U's strategy is to use interviewers
unknown to respondents, so that their smoking, behaviour is similarly
unknown~
Planning of Questions
Given children's tendency to respond to question cues in socially
approval-seeking terms, it is imperative that all questions are factually andl
clearly stated, and contain balanced response options: For example, it is
insufficient to merely ask a child whether he/she agrees with a particular
statement. The child must always be given the option to agree or disagree,
within the structure of the question. If we assume that children are more
likely to agree than to disagree with an unfamiliar adult interviewer, care
must be taken to allowthe chil6 more freedom of choice than the approach
commonly taken when interviewing adults. This is the approach used by
CRU.
24

APPENDIX C
CRU'S RESEARCH METHODS USED IN THIS STUDY
In the first instance, exploratory, qualitative research was conducted in
each country, in, order to identify the key attitudes of ~espondents t~o
smoking issues. A Master Questionnaire was then drawn up, for quantifica-
tion purposes. The main topics covered in the questionnaire are noted in
Appendix E.
Approximately, 1000 respondents between the ages of 7 and 15/16 years
were personally interviewed in each of the four countries ,directly, surveyed
bs~ CRU. Children and young people were recruitedl via a quota sample
(~where selection, requirements such as age and sex were pre-determined);
and individual interviews were conducted in home. All,interviews,were con-
dueled with,the permission of a parent and t:he willing participation of the
chilldi although in strict confidence and in the absence of either parent.
Since identical interviewing procedures were adopted in each countlry~
the samples interviewed were broadly comparable, l~eading,research agen-
cies cond ucted the interviews in tiheir countiry,of origin under close supervi-
sion from CRU's directors.
The Research Rationale
1. Market Selection
In addition to tobacco, CRU selectedl two extra markets, alcohol and
confectionery (interpretedl as "beer"and "chocolate")in order to provide
prodluct comparisons in the four countiries surveyed. However, to restrict
quantitative interviews to manageable lengths, comparable questions about
these three products(tobacco, alcohol and confeetionery)iwere only asked
about b~and and advertisingawareness, includingttm sources of awareness.
The bulk/~nemainder of the questionnaire concentrated on investigating
cigarette/tobacco: issues exclusively:
2. Application of Distancing Techniques
CR U useda distancingtechnique for obtaining each child's attitudes and
bet~aviour patterns: in relation to smot~ing, non-smo[~ing, as follows, The
interview first focussedl on parental behaviour, t~hcn sit~l#tg, s attd:.[iiiet~ds;
and finally on, tt~e re.v~omh,nt him/hevselfl In this way,. by' talking firstly
about other people's behaviour in,a non-judgemental manner, rapporti was
built up between interviewer and respondents, and the cl~i[d became approp-
riately more relaxed andlconfident when reporting on his/trot own behav-
iour.

3. The First Smoking Experience
M any assumptions have been made by the critics of advertising, who claim
that advertising is of primary importance to smoking initiation (see Appen-
dix G). In order to explore such assumptions, CRU concentrated on
investigating thefirst cigarette experience.
It is usually the case that first product experiences in: most markets
cantnot be recalled by children, due to their very young age at the time, given
that trial occurs during pre-schooi years. This applies to. confectionery;
cereals, milk, soft drinks, etc. Tobacco represents an exception, and: child-
ren have little difficulty in recalling their first experience with this product.
The main reason for this situation is. that first cigarette trials are usually
unpleasant or even traumatic, and these negatives fuel children's memories.
Furt:hermore, children are older when trying their first cigarette or their first
alcoholic drink than is: normally the case wit:h respect to trials of other
products: Consequently~ the firstl smoking experience can be more readily
evoked and recounted.

SMOKING FREQUENCY
In the 1982 and 1984 United Kingdom Government Surveys conducted
by Dobbs and Marsh, a preliminary question asked allichildren to check the
alternative from those listed below; which they felt~ best described their
position: (*):
Statements
!. have never smoked
I have only tried smoking once
I used to smoke sometimes, but ! never smoke
a cigarette now
I sometimes smoke cigarettes now, but I don't
smoke as:many as one a week
I usually smoke between one and six cigarettes
a week
I usually smoke more than~sir, cigarettes a
week; but less than forty~
I usually smoke fort}, or more cigarettes a
weel~
Abbreviations for Classification
"Never~ smoked"
"Tried once"
"Used to smoke"
"Smokes occasionally"
"Smokes regularlyr"
"Smokes regularlyr'
"Smokes regularlyr'
To consider "Less than 6 cigarettes: a week" as amounting to "Smokes:
regularly" mayseem strange. It must be considered, however, that obtaining
cigarettes and smoking them, is much more difficult for juveniles than for
adults, so that a small number of cigarettes smoked amounts to "regularly"
as far as children, are concerned.
In later parts of the interview; further questions were asked which could,
at the analysis stage, be cross-checkedl against the original statements. For
example, some of those who originally, said that they never smoked; subse-
quently admitted to having tried once or twice~ In the final data, the
adjusted figures were used:.
It is important to stress tihe care which was taken by the U K Government
study to ensure that t~he statements measured the real level of incidence.
(*) These classifications can be foundl in: Bewley B.R. and Bland J.M.
"Academic and sociall factors relatedl to cigarette smoking by schoolchild-
ren." British Journal of Preventive and Social Medicine, 1977, 31 : 18-24!
(54);
28

However, the effects:of these adjustments were small, as can, be illustrated
from the UK study from 1984:
ADJUSTMENT
BEFORE AFTER
Has never smoked 50% 45%
Tried once 19 24
USed to smoke 13~ 13
Smokes occasionally 5= 6
Smokes regularly 13: 13
Note: The official reporl refers to this part of the survey as England and Wales since
certain Welsh scl~ools were included to provide eomparal~ility with the 1982 study:.For
ease of reading thr,oughout this report, it is referred to as "England.~
The OPCS's application of Bewley's Smoking Prevalence Indicator be-
came a central partiof CRU,splanning of surveys in other countries. It was
therefore repeated exactly in tihe children-and-smoking surveys reported
here.

APPENDIX G
REVIEW OF THE,LITERATURE
Many single fact:ors have been postiulated as to why children and young
people start to smoke. However, a review of the international literature
indicates that it is nor any one fact:or but a combination of factors which
contribute to the decision of whet~her to smoke or not.
SociaiJhctors, for instance, have been increasingly recognised interna-
t~ionally as worthy of more detailed examination, andl a large number of
studies have focussed on the association between social-network variables
and the smoking habits of children and young people (9, 10), Most of the
scientific literature in this field consistently agrees that social factors repres-
ent by far the most dominant influence as regards start:ing to smoke (:1 I);
and t:his was also the conclusion of studies from the late 1950s when Horn,et
ak (I 2)i rated parental and: peer group factors as the two most important
ones for predicting .smoking among high-school students. An early Norwe-
gian study (I 3)i concluded that parental attitudes and peer group, pressure
were of major importance.
In their comprehensive review of research and theory on the modifica-
tion of smoking behaviour, Leventhal and Cleary (14)state that~ social
pressure is a prime initiator of experiments with cigarettes. On the other
hand; personality factors are not considered important in predicting.the
start of smoking: Williams (15)i maintains that the relationships between
smoking and personality variables have often been tenuous, and occasional,
ly contradictory Personality'factors appear to influence the amount and
type of smoking, rather than the actual adoption of the habit, which is.
determined more: by the social and familial environments of the person.
Regarding parental, behaviour, a large number of studies confirm that
the probability that children and young people smoke increases when their
parents smoke (1i6, 17; 18; 19, 20, 21,22,23; 24; 25, 26~ 27,28, 29, 30, 31,32,
33, 34, 35~ 36,37; 38). Some studies conclude that the mother's:example is of
greater importance than the father'S (39, 40; 4 I), whilst two studies:claim the
opposite (42, 43)~ A few studies: did not find any association between
parental l smoking behaviour and the children's habits (44,45, 46). Bynner
(47); in his well-known,study of smoking amongst schoolboys, maintains
that~ t~he association between the parent's and the children's smoking habits
is moderate, a conclusion conforming with many of the studies mentioned
above. Palmer (48) found that girlsmore than boys are influenced by their
parents' habits. Some researchers report that the relation between parental
and child smoking habits is stronger between father and son than between
32

mother and daughter (49, 50; 51, 52; 53, 54, 55, 56): That mothers' and
daughters' habits, are particularly closely related, is reported from two
studies (57; 58); Horn's studyfrom 1968 (59)showed that children reduce
their use of tobacco when their parents stop smoking.
Attention has also been given to parental art#aries. Several researchers
have demonstrated that families who are permissive as regards: smoking
generate an increased probability that the children will start smoking (60,
61, 62, 63, 64~ 65, 66, 67)~ Williams (68) finds that girls more than boys are
influenced by parental attitudes. Significant: association has also been re-
ported between, parents' permissiveness and children'S smoking behaviouv
(69, 70; 71 )~
The effect of living outside the parental home, or with only one of t he:
parents, has also been stiudied~ Wake et al. (72)found thati young people
li~ing with their parents smoked less than those living outside the family.
home. Another study concludes that boys leaving their parents at a young
age are more likely to smoke(73): A high percentage of smokers has been
found amongst children in homes where the parents are divorced (74, 75)~
Several surveys have focussed on the role of siblings. The conclusions are
consistent:: when sisters or brothers:are smokers, the probability that a child
will,start smoking is increased (76, 7.7; 78, 79, 80,81,82,83, 84, 85,86, 87)~
One study has also concludedlthat sisters' influence is greater than brothers"
influence (88). Anot~her researcher has maintained that the smoking habits.
of boys are particularly influenced by their brothers(89); whilst one study
has confirmed that the association between girls andl their sisters' smoking,
habits: is particularly high (90).
A near-perfect consistency is found in studies where the smoking habits
of young.people and children have been compared with the smoking habits
of best friend or closest friends, When~best friend o r friends arc smoking~ the
probabilit~y of being a smoker is strongly increased (91,92, 93,.94i 95, 96, 97;
98; 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107);
Overall~ the findings of these studies indicate that children and young
people are most likelyto smoke when tiheir father, mother, siblings or best
friend(s) smoke, and when t;he parents are permissive towards children's
smoking, Within the family; the association seems to be strongest between
persons of the same sex. An additional finding from an early, study also
deserves mention: children smoke less when their parents have stopped
smoking. (108):
Advertisi~ has been postulated as having: a~ positive bearing on the
decision of the child or young person to:start smoking; and several studies
have atlempted to identify advertising as a major influence in this respecti.
33

Fisher and Magnus:(109) claim thati tlieir survey leaves "little doubti" that
advertising leads children to tlike up smoking. However. ccrtain methodo-
logical deficiencies and a sample containing child yen from "disadvantiagcd
schools (45%~ raise serious.questions as:to t:he dala's validity.
Chapman and Fitizgerald (:110, 1 I 1 )i surveyed sccondal~y schools.t~o ascc~-
rain juvenile brand preference and advertising recall', but they did not
address themselves to:the problcms of conducting complex and controver-
sial,research within schools (refer to: Appendix A's sectit~ns on "l.ocation"
and "Administrator Bias,), and a limited,self-completion questionnaire was
utillsed. Notwithstanding, the authors claim t~hat their data; show that
"adolescents are well aware of advertisements~" but also point out that '~thc
role played by advertising in t,he decision to:smoke needs refining.concept:u-
ally; so that: appropriate questions may be:askedl in, research:"
Ledwith (1:12) claims that televised sports, sponsorship: by tobacco
manufacturers acts as cigarette adk~crtising to:child fen, but= acknowledges
that his study makes no,attempt to establish causal links between sponsor-
ship and children's smoking.bchaviour. Again, school setlings were used,
plus the:inevitable administrator bias of class teachers administering (:limit-
ed) self-completion, questionnaires to pupils who were not given a free
choice to participate in the study, the decision to participate being taken by
the headmaster of the schooll
Ov'erall, studies of advertising as apotential initiator ofiuvenile smoking
have not been comprehensive, h~ that. the.v have not examined advertising
the context of other potential.#~fluences. They also,contain methodological,
deficiencies: None have attempted to examine the incidence of juvenile
smoking in relation to the vao,h~g restrictions, on tobacco, advertis#~g
internationally, with the result that no comparable #~ternational. database
has been. established by previous researchers.

it, news of the investigation was an-
nounced: by a private consumer ac-
tion group here.
"N.H.T.&A. Opens New Investiga-
tion Into Nissan Sudden Acceleration

release from the g'roup, the Center for
Auto Safety., which had for several
months been urging an inquiry, It
hastened to assert that its pressure
had moved the agency to action.
In a time when highway safety does
not have the importance in the White
House or on Capitol Hill that it once
did, it is not; uncommon to find the
center making noise about things the
Federal agency has decided are not
news.
Playing the barking watchdog and,
being the badger, at Federal agencies
and in Congress or the courtroom is
the role the center has assigned itself,
according to Clarence M. Ditlow 3d,
for 10 years the executive director.
Mr. Ditlow says that his group~
founded by Ralph Nader. is the only
independent consumer auto safety
group In town.
'It's Been a Different Battle'
The role is praised by some. parole;
ularly those who are consumer-ori-
ented, and criticized by others,:nota-
bly in the Reagan Administration.
"It's a different battle from, what
it's been i' said Mr, Ditlow, recalling
the heyday of auto safety in the 1960 S
and 70's.
"Cars are clearly safer :because of.
the passage of safety standards and
recall programs," added Mr~ Ditiow,
whose father was a service manager
at a Chevrolet dealership In Peunsy.l-
vanl& "But this AdminiStration
refuses to go to the mat with auto-
makers who refuse voluntary recall.
On CapRol Hill, we're sort of at a
stage where the number of strong ad-
vocates are fewer and the priority of
auto safety not as high."
As for~ the Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration, he asserted that it; had
created a "vacuum,' by not announc-

had moved to fill It,

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke has not been
shown to cause chronic diseases in nonsmokers. This is the
conclusion of many independent scientists who have studied
the subject from a purely scientific point of view based
upon research conducted; throughout the world.
Lung cancer in nonsmokers has been the main focus of
inquiry. The predominant scientific opinion, based upon 16
published studies, is that exposure to environmental tobacco
smoke is not associated with a significant increased risk of
lung cancer.
The newest study, published July 31, 1986, in the
British Journal of Cancer, reported:
"Amongst lifelong non-smokers, passive smoking was not
associated with any significant increase in risk of
lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, ischaemic heart
disease or stroke in any analysis."
That study, reported by researchers affiliated with the
Institute of Cancer Research., was funded by the British
tobacco industry. It is the most comprehensive to date: it
is the first of its kind to address the four major disease
states while assessing a full range of environmental tobacco
smoke exposures. The study was conducted over a 6 year
period in i0 hospital regions in England. Cases studied

were selected from over 12,600 patients to provide matching
smoker and nonsmoker pairs similar in age.
The results of the British study are consistent with a
number of studies conducted in other countries which, found
no significant increases in lung cancer among nonsmokers
exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. The British study
also supports the conclusions of other researchers who have
found no significant association of environmental tobacco
smoke exposure with cardiovascular conditions.
Moreover, the British study is only one of a handful.
to have-considered environmental tobacco smoke exposures
other than those resulting from the smoking habits of family
members. The British researchers considered data regarding
tobacco smoke exposure at home, at work, during travel and
during leisure. In fact, every study cons±dering total
exposure to tobacco smoke outside the home has failed to
report a significant relationship to lung cancer in
nonsmokers.
Furthermore, those studies reporting an increased lung
cancer risk in nonsmokers have been severely criticized in
the scientific literature. None of the researchers
conducting the studies actually measured the amount of
environmental tobacco smoke to which nonsmokers were
exposed.. Most failed to consider age differences, diet,

occupation, exposure to urban air pollution, and even such
obvious influences as ventilation. Nor did any consider the
potential confounding effects of familial risk of lung
cancer or other genetic factors. Their methodological
deficiencies have even been pointed out by the authors
themselves in some cases.
The highly publicized 1981 study by Japanese
epidemiologist Takeshi Hirayama reporting that nonsmoking
wives of smokers have a greater lung cancer risk than. wives
of nonsmokers is a case in point. Commencing with its
publication, that study has generated extensive scholarly
criticism among noted scientists and physicians worldwide.
Both the design, of the study and the validity of its
conclusions have been: faulted. The study also has been
criticized as methodologically suspect. Even if the
Hirayama findings were valid, it is doubtful that they could
be extrapolated to provide meaningful data for people in
other countries because of differences in culture, social
customs and living conditions.
Finally, there have been several important,
international scientific conferences on the topic
of
environmental tobacco smoke in recent years. All have
reached the same conclusion.: the scientific evidence does
not support a causal relationship between exposure to

environmental tobacco smoke and increased risk of chronic
health effects to the nonsmoker.
Undoubtedly, some nonsmokers are annoyed by poorly
ventilated smoky rooms. But after all, in normal situations
cigarette smoke is immediately diluted by surrounding air.
Measurements of tobacco smoke in the air taken under
realistic conditions show again and again that the amount of
tobacco smoke in the air we breathe is minimal.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, for
example, have estimated that a nonsmoker would have to spend
100 consecutive hours in a smoke-filled bar to be exposed to
the equivalent of a single filter tip cigarette. Japanese
researchers recently confirmed these estimates.
Then why do we hear so much about the "harm" of
environmental tobacco smoke? Because this scientifically
unfounded claim has been perpetrated by those few zealots
who would prohibit smoking altogether. It is an emotional
appeal to the nonsmoking majority, people who otherwise
would not infringe upon. the individu,al rights of their
neighbors over social customs or personal lifestyles, no
matter how annoying.

We believe that legitimate scientific inquiry should
not be misused to advance one's social or political agenda.
We will continue to support further research, and further
public discussion, of this scientific issue. The one thing
all scientists do agree upon is that more research is
needed. We agree too.. Research, not rhetoric.

Legislative Action on Tobacco
and Smoking
To the Ed/tor.--I would like to com-
mend you for dedicating your Feb 28
issue to the subject of tobacco abuse.
Over thelast several years, Congress.,
has considered a large number Of bills
introduced~ to curtail voluntarily the
use of tobacco.
In 1982, I introduced legislation to
amend the Federal Cigarette Label-
ing and Advertising Act of 1965,
replacing the old warning with four
stronger health warnings. After three
years of intensive legislative activity,
a. series of hearings, executive ses-
sions, and floor debate in beth the
House and Senate, this legislation
was unanimously.approved by Cou-
gress and signed into law. This year,
Senator Richard Lngar and I intro-
duced legislation, that places three
strong health warnings on smokeless
tobacco products along with regulat-
ing. advertising. This legislation was
approved by Congress a few weeks
ago and only recently signed, into law
by the President~ In addition, the
16-cent tax on cigarettes, which was
scheduled to return to 8 cents last
year, has been permanently ex-
tended.
Numerous other measures now be-
fore Congress could substantially af-
fect the tobacco industry, Senator Ted
Stevens and I have introduced legisla-
tion that' wouldi restrict smoking in
federal buildings (S 1937), Senator
Bill Bradley has introduced legisla-
tion that would end. the tax deduction
for advertising expensesfor tobacco
products (S 1950); Senator Howard
Metzenbaum and I are currently
working on legislation to ban smoking
on all public conveyances, ie, planes,
trains, and buses. In addition, several
senators intend to introduce legisla-
tion to increase the current tax on
cigarettes from 16 cents to either 24
or 32 cents.
Finally, a number of senators
joined me in writing to our secretary
of defense, Casper Weinbergsr, urg-
ing him to halt the sale of cigarettes
in military commissaries and to raise
the price in milltary exchanges. I was
pleased to learn in March of this year
that the Secretary announced his goal
of a smoke,free military by the year
2000. The Department of Defense is
currently developing programs to
reach this goal..
As you ~: see, Congress is actively
and aggressively involved in this bat:
tle~ It is important to remember that
politics is the art of doing the possi-
ble. Many members of Congress have
goals in, common with health profes-
sionals and share their concern abeut
public health. To suggest otherwise is
unfair and inaccurate. In the long
run, if we work together, I am confi-
dent that we wan achieve a tobacco-
free society by the year 2000.

VOICES OF AMERICA
RESTRICT SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES?
4~terv ew with Joseph :Caiifano, ' i
,ormerSecretary,0f Health, Educatio~ and Welfare PRO CON
Q Mr. Califano,.why do you favor restricting smoking In public?
People---whether they're children, workers or pregnant
women--should not be forced to. breathe other people's
smoke_ Mayhe you can drink alone or eat alone, but it is
not possible to smoke alone in an enclosed space with
other people:
Studies show that 5,OOOAmericans die each year because
of secondhand smoke.. A Japanese report concluded that
nonsmoking winces of heavy smokers had an 80 percent
higher risk of lung cancer, than:women married to nonsmok-
ers. Study after study has associated involuntary smoking
and' lung cancer, pneumonim asthma and bronchitiS.. A re-
cent study, has linkedlsecondhand smoke to heart disease.
Q Where do you think smoking ahould be banned?
In, schools, hospitals, sports arenas and convention halls,
theaters, banks or other public places where people have to,
stand andl wait. Sections of theater lobbies and other areas
could be set aside for~ smokers. Smoking. should not be per,
mitted¢iB stores. Restaurants
should~ be required to provide
smoke,free space. Employers ~ES -"Five thousand'
should,' provide a smoke-free
workplace for employes who, Americans die each,
wish it: l support the efforts to: year because of
restrict smoking to designated secondhand smoke"
areas in Federal buildings. Vir.
tually all assembly lines now'
prohibit smoking~ and most
large companies with large
workroom areas have restric-
tions. Businesses that permit
smoking at work can provide a
room for smoking or segregate
smokers in one part of a room
with proper ventilation.
The commission 1 worked
witch to propose a New York
City antismoking law recom,
mended no ,restrict ions for bars, private residences, hotel and
moteli rooms or tobacco:stores:
Q Many restaurants already have no-smoking areas, Why should
merchants and employers be forced to separate smokers?
Because the last five surgeons general have concluded that
this is a public-health problem with heavy costs to our society.
Why should the nonsmoker have to protect himself against
breathing smoke any more than a customer should have to in-
spect; the kitchen of a restaurant to see if it is sanitary?
Q Businesses argue that such measures are costly--
It costs no more than.a sign that says"NO-Smoking Sec-
tion." Employers will save money.in terms of reduced illness
and absenteeism and increased productivity.
Q Is the reatlgoal to force people to stop smoking altogether?
Not~ at all. That is their choice. Fm only trying to.protect
nonsmokers, But I do support employers who fund pro-
grams to help workers quit smoking if they want to~ Smok-
ing is slow-motion suicide. The point here is to prevent
secondhand smoking from becoming slow-motion murder.
Interview with Paul Scr~vane,
former president, r~ew York City Council!
O Mr. Screvane, why do you oppose banning or restricting
smoking In public places?
Because such laws would set up;two classes of citizens--
smokers and nonsmokers--and wou~d~ be very confronta-
tional. They give the nonsmoker virtual:dictatorial power to
determine where smoking may notl be permitted.
And such laws are unenforceable. Health departments
and the police are already overwor,ked.
O What about atudles that link smoke-filled rooms to lung can-
cer In nonsmokers?
[ can fiud no evidence that secondar~ smoke is a danger.
At three separate workshops on this very issue, scientists
concluded that health hazards to nonsmokers could not be
established}
O Why then,are cancer doctors among those pressing to ban,
smoking tn ,public places?
Passive smoke is a subterfuge. They. are really' tr~ying to
NO- '1 can find: no
evidence that;
secondary smoke
is, a, danger"
make it difficult to smoke in,
public. They' think many
young people will say: "Well,.
if it's that inconvenient, why
even get started on, it? Forget
it.?" They can't point to any
scientific danger to nonsmok-
ers. IFs a sham, a fraud.
O Don't you think restaurant pa-
trons, for Instance, have the
right to dine without smoke if,
they wish?
If enough people came into
a restaurant and said.. "'We
will not patronize your place
beca~tse you don't have a no,
smoking section,, they'd have
one. Restaurants aren't re-
qg.ired by lawto provide sugar~
substitutes, but because of the pr,essures of the marketplace,
most do.,
Q What about the workplace? Shouldn!t; all workers have the
right to a amoke-free environment?
The workplace isnot aJways a big room in which you can
segregate smokers and nonsmokers. What if lO,people work
in a section, and two are smokers? Can you put a wall
around them? If they need to communicate with their fellow
workers, I think you're depriving them of their li',elihood.
AlSo, segregating smokers costs money. An AFL-CIO
study estimated that an antismoking law' would cost $2~5
million a year in New Yorl¢. City.
O How would such.laws cost employers money?
Besides reorganizing the office and putting up partitions.
a company would suffer from time lost.
I'smoke three packs a day, which means I smoke three or
four cigarettes an, hour. As president of Federal Metal
.Maintenance, Inc., I have my own office. But if I did not. I
would have to absent myself from my workplace and go to,a:
designated area to smoke. That's time--and time is money.

Cigarette Smoking and Invasive
Cervical Cancer

Herman F. Lehman, DDS, MPH; Robert Levine. MD; David:A. Savitz, PhD
• A case-control study of 480 patients with Invaalve cervical cancer and
797 population controls, conducted In five geographic areas In the United
8tstes, included an evalueUon of the relaUonsklp of seversl cigarette
smoking variables to cervical cancer risk. Although smoking was correlated
with both age at first intercourse and number of sexual partners, a significant
smoking-related risk persisted for equamous cell carcinoma after adjustment
for these factors (relative risk, 1.5). The dsk of squamous cell cancers
increased significantly .with Intensity end duration of smoking. Twofold
excess risks were seen, for those smoking 40 or more cigarettes per day and
those smoking for 40 or more years, in addiUon, users of nonfilter cigarettes
were at particularly high, risk. Increased risks, however, were observed only
among recant and conUnuous smokers. In contrast to squamoua cell cancer,
no relationship was observed; between, smoking and risk of adenocarcinome
or adenosquemous carcinoma (n=63). These results suggest a causal
ralaUonahip between cigarette smoking and invasive squamoua ceil cervical
cancer, part.pc through • isis.stage or promotional event, although the
mechanisms of action require fur~er elucidation.
(JAMA 1986;255:32fiS-326g}
THE HYPOTHESIS that cigarette
smoking a~ects the risk of cervical
cancer was raised by Wlnkelatein,!
who reviewed a variety of direct and
indirect observations linking smoking
to cervical cancer risk. Subsequent
prospective= and case-control~'° stud-
ies demonstrated excess risks of both
preinvasive and invasive cervical &b-
normalRies among smokers, particu-
larly current, tong-term, or heavy
smokers. Most of these studies had
limited exposure information and few
focused on invasive disease. In addi-
tion, questions remain as to whether
the smoking associations merely re-

flect confounding by other cervical
cancer risk factors. One controversial
study" reported that adjustment for
age and socioeconomic status elimi-
nated pre~ously observed smoking
effects. However, other studies
that have been able to control for
more direct measures of risk, include
ing number of sexual partners and/0r
age at first intercourse, have found
excess smoking risks to persist,
although to a diminished extent and
sometimes without a clear dose.
response relationship.*T'
To clarify the relationship at smok-
ing to risk of invasive cervical cancer,
we undertook a case-control study in
five metropolitan areas in the United
States, in which detailed information
was collected on smoking habits and
on numerous cer~eai cancer risk fac-
tom.
hospitals in these areas were found to
diagnose or treat sufficiently large num-
bers of cervical cancer ca~es and were
chosen.to participate in the study. Incident
cases of invasive cervical cancer occurring
among women aged 20 to 74 years were
accrued from these hospitals during the
period:from April I982 to January 1984~
Controls for the study were obtained
through random-digit dialing techniques.!~
Whenever possible, two controls were indi-
vidually matched;to each case on the basis
of telephone exchange, race, and: five-year
age group. This process was done in four
waves, each of which involvedi(t)iselecting
a residential cluster matched on exchange
for each case; (2):generating the telephone
numbers to be called in each selected
residential cluster, (3) enumerating by
telephone: interview the female members
of each household, aged 20 to 69; according
to age and race; and (4)selecting two
controls from the. total pool of eligible
controls in the same exchange-race-age
cell as each case (in.certain circumstances,
when there were no available controls in a
certain age and race category, it was
necessary to relax the age match some.

number of cigarettes usually smoked per
day, the nge at which smoking had st.-ted

continuous or intermittent, the depth of

Information from hospital pstholo8~
reports was evallabls for the casse. This
allowed us to examine equnmous cell osrcl-
homes separately from the adenoce~'ino-
mas or adencequamous carcinoma~ After
we elim/nsted five subjects for whom
information was .nknown for at least one

for analyzis consisted of 417 c_~__-~_ with
invuive equamous cell carcinoma, 63 eases
with inv--;ve adenoosrcinoms or adeno-
equamous carcinoma, and ~J7 controls.
The relative risk (RR), as estimated b~
the odds rstio, was the measure o/' aasocia-
lion used for evaluating effects of smoking
exposures on the risk of cervical cancer.
Unmatched logis~c re~roesJun analyses"
using cases and all controls were done to
obtain maximum likelihood; estimates of
the odds ratios and 95% confidence inter-
vale. while adjusting for con/ounding vari-
ablss. Tests for trend in the logistic analy-
ses were obtained by categorizing the
exposure variable, assigning the score j
the ~ exposure level of the categorical
variable, and treating the scored: variable
as a continuous variable. Because match-
ing wu employed in the study design,
matched logistic regression analyses were
also done." However, this resulted in con-
siderable loss in power, since the case and
control populations were reduced, by 10%
and 35%, respectively. After determining
that any differences between matched and
unmatched rssults were likely to be due to
differences ia the study populations rather
than in true analytic discrepancies, it was
decided that unmatched estimates only
would be presented.
RESULTS
Table 1 presents.basic demographic
information on cases and controls.
There was a fairly even accumulation
of ca~s from the five study sites,
although the largest percentage
(27.5%) was from Chicago. A total of
56~% of the cases were non-Hispanic
whites, 32"3% b|~ka, 9.2% Hispanic
whites, and 2.2% of other or unknown
races. Despite attempts to obtain a
close age match, cases tended to be
significantly (P<.001)older than
controls (mean of 46.T vs 43.7).

quently smokers. The percentage of
smokers varied substantially accord-
ing to lifetime number of sexual part-
nero, rising from 39% among those
who reported having zero or one life-
time sexual partner to 74% among
those with ten or more partners.
Similarly~ approximately 38% to 39%
of controls who reported ages at first
intercourse after age 19 years (or
never) were smokers compared with
54)% to 60% with earlier ages ~t first
intercourse.
A total of 256 cases (61%) with
squamous ceil carcinoma and383 con-
trois (48%): reported eve~ having
smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their
lifetime, and regularly for six months
or longe~, yielding an unadjusted RR
of 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 1.4 to
2.2) (Table 3). This estimate was
confounded, however, by several of
the variables presented in Table 2,
most notably, by number of sexual
partners and age at first intercourse.
Because women who were at high risk
for cervical cancer by having numer-
ous sexual partners or an early age at~
first intercourse were also more fre-
quently smokers, adjustment for
these factors reduced the association
between smoking and cervical cancer.

COMMENT ..
The results of this study provide
strong evidence that smoking is an
independent risk factor for invasive
squamous ce|l caeca| cancer. After
adjustment for appropriate co,found-
ing variables, we found that women
who reported ever having regularly
smoked cigarettes had a 50% elevated
risk compared with nonsmokers. Fur-
ther supporting an etiologic role for
smoking were significant linear rela-
tionships observed with number of
cigarettes smoked per day and with
years of smoking. Thus, women who
smoked: 40 or more cigarettes per day
as well as those who reported smok-
ing for 40 or more years had siguifi-

~nt twofold excess risks. These fig-
ures agree well with previous studies
that have been able to account for
sexual factors in assessing the rela-
tion of smoking to cervical cancer
risk.°..'''.'` In particular, our findings
are consistent witl~tbose of Clarke et~
al' and L~ Vecchia et al/°'two: other
detailed investigations that have fo-
cused on the relationship of smoking
to risk of invasive cervical cancer.
In addition to effects associated
with duration and intensity of smok-
ing, our study was also able to exam-
ine cervical cancer risk in, relation to
several measures of smoking that
were not assessed:in previous studies..
It is noteworthy that the highest
risks were associated with recent
smoking and the use of nonfilter
cigarettes, providing further support
for a role of smoking in cervical
cancer etiology--particularly since
these associations persistedl as risk:
factors even after adjustment for oth-
er measures of smoking (including
intensity and duration),
This study, however, indicated: the
importance of accounting for addi-
tional risk factors in assessing the
relationship between smoking and
cervical cancer, particularly since
smoking was correlated with mea-
sures of sexual activity that were
major predictors of risk in this popu-
lation. Since smoking was more com-
mon among those reporting an. early
age at first intercourse and/or multi-
ple sexual part~ers, adjustment~ for
these variables decreased the crude
RRs, generally by a magnitude of
10% to 30%,
Although our findings suggest that
cigarette smoking is causally related
to squamous carcinoma of the cervix,
the biologic mechanisms are unclear.
Recent laboratory studies'""' that
have detected cotinine, nicotine, and
other mutagens in cervical mucus of
smokers would, support a direct, car-
cinogenic effect of smoking, Alterna-
tively, immunosuppressive effects of
smoking might allow other carcino-
gens to be expressed. At present, it is
impossible to distinguish between.
these alternative mechanisms, but
the distinctive patterns of several of
the observed associations merit: at-
tention, especially given their diver-
gence with smoking associations de-
tectedl for other cancer sites.
Although reasons for discontinua-
tion were: not obtained, and may

explain some of the risks associated
with year~ since stopping," it is of
note that those who discontinued
smoking two or more years prior to
diagnosis demonstrated no signifi-
cant excess risk compared with non-
smokers. Furthermore, we found
some evidence of higher risk among
those who began smoking later in life,
a finding inconsistent with that of
others.'~'' In addition, we observed no
elevated risk among intermittent
smokers, with all the excess smoking
risk deriving from continuous smok-
ers. Thus, our findings regarding dis-
continuation, age at which smoking
started, and intermittency suggest;
that smoking may exert a late-stage
or promotional effect on cervical can-
cer risl~ This contrasts with other
cancers, including lung," for which
smoking has been suggested to act as
both an initiator and a promoter.
Although Zur Hausen" has previ-
ously suggested thatl smoking might
act as a cocarcinogen with transmis-
sible agents, we did not find a signifi-
cant interaction of smoking with age
at first intercourse, number of sexual
partners, or a history of a nonspecific
genital infection or sore, However,
few women in this study reported
histories of specific infections with
herpes genitalis or condyloma acumi-
nature, suspected in cervical cancer
etiology (herpes virus type 2 and
papillomavirus): Thus, laboratory
tests will be required to clarify any
effects of smoking on virus-related
cancers of the cervix.

mous ceil tumors, smoking was not

related to the risk of adenocarcinoma
or adenosquamous carcinoma of the
cervix. Consistent with this is the
observation that smoking has a much
greater impact on squamous cell can-
cer of the lung than on adenocar¢ino-
ma.~ Given the small mimber of cer-
vical adenocarcinomas included in
this study (n=63)and the fact: that
smoking was associatedl with excess
squamous cell risks of only 1.5 to 2.0
(in contrast to risks of I0,0 to 20.0 for
lung cancer), we cannot; exclude a real
effect; of smoking on adenocarcinomas
of the cervix.
Certain methodological issues asso-
ciated with our study deserve atten-
tion. Of concern, was a lower than
desirable response rate, particularly
among the controls, whose overall
response rate (product: of the tele-
phone screening and interview re-
sponse rates) was only 60%.Although
we have no information on the smok-
ing behavior of nonrespondents, it
seems unlikely that differential
smoking habits between the nonre-
spondent cases and controls could
account for our findings, particularly
in view of the consistency of the
associations across several smoking
variables~ Furthermore, we did not
have complete assurance that our
controls were free of all cervical
abnormalities,~ since Papanicolaou
smears were not administered. How-
ever, it is highly unlikely that any of
the controls would have had invasive
cervical cancer and the effect of other
cervical abnormalities would, if any-
thing, have resulted in underestimat-
ing smoking-related risks. In addi-

tion, although we had extensive infor-

cancer risk factors, the remote possi-
bility of residual confounding exists.
A preliminary analysis of extensive
dietary data in relation to smoking
did not result in altered interpreta-
tions, but further evaluation~ of the
issue is needed.
In summary~ this study strongly
supports a relationship between
smoking and risk of invasive squa-
mous cell tumors of the cervix. The
consistency of the finding with other
studies, along with the dose-response
relationships that persisted after con-
trol for a variety of factors, would
tend to support a direct effect of
smoking on the squamous epithelium
of the cervix. The biologic mecha-
nisms underlying this association are
currently unknown, hut t;he patterns
of risk suggest a late-stage or promo-
tional event. The declining incidence
rate of cervical, cancer, however, sug-
gests that the impact of smoking is
not as potent as for other smoking-
related cancers, such as that of the
lung, a cancer that has been rising
steadily among women.

smokeless tobacco. There is no ne~' co dwefl on the
substance of the l~slation or the scientific evidence
that ~ints to the link between ~he use of smokci~s
tobacco and disuse, because th~c are~ are covered
in a Special Article in this issue o( the Jou~al, How-
ever, ~eve~l other dimensions of the process are worth
noting. -
Three ~accom were instrumental in the prompt-
ness wic~ which the l~istatioa was considered -- one
sc~ntifi~ one emotional, and one dealing with the
determination oF states to cope with the growing prev-
alence of the use of smokeless tobacco. Congressional
interest in the heaJth effects of smokeless tobacco
stemmed in part from. the story of a 19-year-old Okla-
homa athlete, Scan Marsec, whose death: was attribut-
ed to causes related to the use of snuff l'or six years.
Representative Michael L. Synar (D,Okla.) intro-
duced the first: bill that~ called for warnings on smoke-
less tobacco produc~s. Several mont~ after the meas-
ure was introduced last July, Marsee's fate was widely
publicized in a Re,,der.:s Digestartiele, which was pub-
lished in October 1985.
Representative Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), chair-
man of the House Energv and Commerce Subcommit-
tee on Health and the Environment and a leading
sponsor of the smokeless tobacco legislation (:along
with Republican senators Orrin G. Hatch of Utah and
Richard G. Lugar of Indiana), explained on the
House floor on February 3, 1986, why his panel:
lieved that warning labels were necessary.
ScientiSr~ representing the National Cancer Institute, the American
Dental'Association, the American Cancer Society and the American
Academy of Otolaryngol0~'y -- Head and Nc~k Sur~e~'y testified to
the fact that these products can cause life-threatening diseases
mouth and oral cavity,. In addition, the [.July 26] hearing docu-
mented an alarming increase in the use ot" smokele'*s tobaca:o
young people. We also heard ~hilling testimony from the toothier
a young high-~c.hool track star. Betty Aria Marsee told c~" her son
courageous ~truggte against mouth cancer caused ~ his u~ and
addic't~n to smokel~s tobacco.
Finally, th~ me~ure calling for warning labels on
smokeless tobacco products and a ban on cete~rision
and: radio advertising moved expeditiously because
the Smokeless Tobacco Council, an industry trade
~roup, and the Coalition. on Smoking OR Health
agreed co a compromise bill that. cai~ed t'or the labe.;s
but~ dropped a proposed warning stating that nicotine
is addictive and a requirement that manufacturers
disclose publicly the ingredients of their smokeless
tobacco. (iInstead, manufacturers must disclose those
ingredienm to the Department of Health and Hu-
man Se~ices.) M~chael.[. Kerrigan, president of the
smokeless tobacco.trade ~'oup, said the council made
the agreement because only uniform, if "ve~ distaste-
fuk'" federal legislation could head off" adoption by a
number of states oC "conflicting and differing warning
statements. '"
Massachusetts, the ~rst ot~ ch¢ states to act, promu|-
gated regulations last year that required; the place-
ment of warning !abe~s on smokeless tobacco prod-
ucts; 25 other state legislatures were slated to consider
similar measures in 11986, before Congress enacted the
Federal statute. Federal legislators credited the pres-
sure applied by .Massachusetts' regulation as ins,ru-
mental in the prompt consideration of the federal
measure. An aide to Waxman who worked on the
smokeless tobacco measure said in an interview,

THE NE~,V ENGLAND jOURNAL OF MF_.DICI:NE
April 1~7. 1986
The new law requires manufacturers to display
one o1" three warning labels on a random basis on
their smokeless tobacco products. The labels read,.
"Warning: This Product ,May Cause Mouth Cancer,"
"Warning: This Product May Cause Gum Disease
and Tooth Loss," or "Warning: This Product Is Not A
Safe Alternative to Cigarettes." The legislation
quires manuficturem to display the warning state-
merits in a "circle-and,arrow" format. This format
was selected because studies conducted by the Federal
Trade Commission in 1981 concluded, as Waxman
said on the House floor, that the format "significantly
improved the visibility and effectiveness of warning
statements."
The Tobacco [nsthute, which represents cigarette
manufacturers, remained unalterably opposed to the
new le~slation. One ceason for its opposition was a
concern that if Congress adopted the circle-and-arrow
format for the warning labels of smokeless tobacco
products, it would follow suit next time it considered
changing the labels on cigarettes. $ccordin~ to Wax-
man's aide~ ~The tobacco lobby had every, reason to
fear that we may take that step because that is abso-
lutely what we plan to do."
The next major imue that Congress is likely to con-
sider in retadon to smoking is whether to ban all:
forms of dgarette advertising', as proposed by a
number of organizations, including the AMA and the
Coalldon on Smoking OR Health. The coalition work-
ing on this measure consists of the American. Cancer
Society,. the American Lung Assodadon, and the
American Heart .-kssociadom The administration has
taken no position or, this issue, but Koop did say on
Face dze Nation on December I, "If I had my way,
I would certainly ban [cigarette] advertising .....
The experience in countries . . . where advertising
bans have been enforced has shown a tremendous
drop in smoking." Debate on this issue will be exten-
sive, and early action, is certainly not likely, but Wax,~
man does plan to conduct hearings later this year.
/
Ahhou~h Waxman personally favors a ban on all
forms of cigarette advertising[ andl promodon~ the first
hearin,~s l~e convenes will be oversisht sessions intend-
ed to develop a record: that could later be used to write
legislation.
The AMA is seeking le~slative sponsors for its pro-
posal that calls for a ban on all advertising of tobacco
products in newspapers and magazines, on billboards
and balloons, during street-corner ~veaways, and
through sponsorship of athletic events or skywriting,
Although the AMA recognizes that, the cigarette,
newspaper, magazine, and advertising industries witl
challenge the proposedi advertisin~ ban as a violation
of the First Amendment right to free speech, its gener-
al counsel, Kirk B..Johnson, said in an interview that
several legal scholars have written opinions support-
ing the constitutionality of such a ban. On December
10; 1985, :he House oC Delegates of the AMA ap-
proved a resolution, calling for development of the leg-
iSlative proposal. The rmolution noted! that "¢igare,.tes
are the most heavily advertised product in America,"
that efforts by the AMA to convince newspapers andl
magazines to refuse tobacco product advertisemems
voluntarily had largely failed, and that according to a
1981 report by the Federal Trade Commission,: "ciga-
rette advertising may be deceptive." The resolution
concluded:
These circums~anc~ have le~ the Br~dsh: Medical Association and
the American Lung Association, among o~hers, to oppo~ ci.~are~c
adver~isinE~ The board believes that ad,.'enisin~ and promotion
tobacco, products should be opposed and tha~ I~,isLation should be
enacted ~o achieve this goal.
The AMA's proposed: ban on advertising is, at this
point, the most visible reflection of the increasing
phasis the association is placing on steps to curb smok-
ing. Another reflection.of this greater emphasis is that
on February. 28, the.]ourn,,L of t~e American MedicaL. Asso-
ciatwn (.JAMA)I devoted its third theme issue within 18
ton t hs to the health problems posed by smoking, Sev-
eral forces within the association have converged to
propel it toward a more vigorous posture against
smoking. A number of board members, principally.
Ronaid M. Davis, a medical resident employed by the
Centers for Disease Control; John H. Dawson, a sur-
geon from Seattle; Robert A. McAfee, a surgeon from
South Portland, Maine; and Alan R. Nelson, an inter-
nist from Sah Lake City, have been outspoken in argu-
ing that the AMA should take a more visible stand
against smoking~ The ecii~or of lAMA, George D.
Lundberg, regards tobacco use as society's greatest
public health problem. In addition, an increasing
number of youn~er physicians and medical~ students
who are actively involved in the resident and student
sections of the AMA have raised their voices against
smoking~
Dr..James H. Sammons, executive vice president of
the AMA, confirmed the presence of these strong
forces within the association and their influence on its
stand on smoking. In an. interview, Sammons
several additional factors, including the refusal by ~he
cigarette industry co accept the accumulating data
linkin~ smoking to disease, the estimate that 1000'per-
sons a day die oC ~moking-related diseases, the $2 biia
[ion spent on cigarette advertising annually (with
much of it "cl~ariv aimed at younger people"), and
"the overshad0win~ of the AMA's image as a scientif-
ic organization'" by socioeconomic issues. In adopting
more vigorous antismoking approaches, ~he AMA is
in essence.joining t,he British Medical .-kssociation
(BMA)I and the Canadian .'vledicail Association in
steadfast opposition to tobacco use.
The BMA has taken, perhaps the most vigorous and
outspoken position~ in recent, years. Its strategy/ in
striving to persuade the British government co become
more vigilant against smoking is in some re~pects
quite con~'rontational. For example, the .qMA gives its
members black-bordered postcards that are desi~nedl
for doctors to send' co their Members of Parliament
when a patient dies of a smoking-feinted disease. The
card reads:

HEAL'/TH POLICY REPORT
! wish to inform you that one of your constituents, who was a
patient: of mine, has died. The de'ath was due to the following dis-
e~se: lung cancer, chronic obstructive lung diseue, coronary, heart
disease, or oth~ tobacco related cancer or vascular disease. [I'he
physician checks the appropriate box.t This per.on smoked. Tobac-
co smoking is the major avoidable cause of disease.
Le~sladve measures that stop short of an advertis-
ing ban may be more politically realistic in the near
term. One proposa~ that has been advanced by two
Democratic legislators, Senator Bill BradIey of New
Jersey. and Representative Fortney H. (,Pete) Stark of
California, would prohibit cigarette manufacturers
from ciaiming the revenue they spendl on advertising
as a business tax deduction. Stark, who is chalrTnan of
the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health,
~a.;d in a statement publ~ched Iast December 16 in the
Congressional Record:
In 1983, $2.7 billion was spent on the promotion of c~garetten alone,
making them the nation'S mint highly advertised: consumer prod-
uct.... All o( these advertising activities are indirectly supported:
b'! the federal government: Under the Internal R,'venue Code
1954; these pcomotional activities are deductible from corporate
federal'income taxes ...... My proposal would remove that status
from arty promotional activities -- advertising, cou,oons, sweep
stakes, sporting events -- t*or tobacco and tobacco products.
The struggles that engage the tobacco lobby andl
antismoking advocates have been under way for sever-
al decades. A more recent development in the effort to
curb smoking is the ~rowing level of activity to restrict
smoking at work sites and in public places. The latest~
repor~ of the surgeon general,, which, was released in
December II985, dealt with cancer and chronic lung
disease in the workplace. The report concluded that
"for the majority of American workers, cigarette
smoking, represents a greater cause of death and dis-
ability than their workplace environment."
For employm'~, the issue is more than adverse health
effects that may afflict smoking employees. A memo-
randum prepared by the Office of Technotog'y Asses-
merit tast y.ear estimated that; smoking-causedl illness
costs $43 billion in lost production annually (,or
for each pack of cigarettes sold); these expenses are
~orne largely by employers. Interestingly, private cor-
porations seem to be moving more aggressively to
strict; smoking on. their premi.~-s than are heal:th care
organizations.
Attitudes that favor the restriction of smoking in the
wor]~pl:ace are not limited to a few persons who are
sensitive to smoke or even to nonsmokers, ~ a recent
national opinion survey, conducted for the American
Lung .Association by the Gallup organization showed.
T'ne results of the survey, of 1540 men and women over
the age or- 18 showed that ~0 percent, of current smok-
ers. 90 percent of former smokers, and 92 percent of
nonsmokers believe that companies should desi~mate
smoking and nonsmoking areas or should totally ban
smoking at work.
A monograph entided~ "Reducing Smoking at the
Workplace." which was written last fall~ bv consultant
Ruth A. Behrens for t~h¢ Washington Business
on Health (in whose offices smoking was banned: some
time ago)i, has been distributed to: its 200 member
companies, most of which are of the Fortune 500 vari-
ety. Although Behrens noted that legal cases dealing
with smoking in the workplace are a relatively new
phenomenon, she also said:
There is a growing body of court cases and legal opinions that
indicate (,I)i employees have a right, under common law *.o sue for a
smoke-free work environment, (2} employers must Ix prepared to
bear some responsibility, for ~e discomfort, pain. and illness caused
to .,'rnployees by smoke in the workplace, znd (3) employers are
within their rights in banning smol~ing at the workplace or in hiring
only nonsmokers.
The smoking policies of businesses, which Behrens
characterized as "the backbone of any company's ef-
fort to discourage smoking," are based on various ra-
tionales. She said: such policies can. be designed to
protect equipment or property,, to comply with state or
local: laws and regulations,, to ban smoking in specific
areas, to ban smoking throughout the organization or
to limit it to .designated areas, to prohibit the hiring of
smokers, or to effect a combination of these actions.
Whatever the motivations underlying these programs,
a central~ policy question is how coercive and intrusive
they are or might become. Many companies combine
smoking-cessation programs, or various incentives
that urge smokers to quit~ with their policies on. smok-
ing. restriction.
For example, the Boeing Company of Seattle,
which: is one of the largest corporations (about 90,000
employees) to announce a total l~an on smoking,
sponsored a free off-hours stop-smoking program
and offered to defray part of the cost of an employee's
attendance at one of several commer~a[ smoking-
cessation programs. Two other large Seatde organiza-
tions, Pacific No~hwest Bell. and the Group Health
Cooperative of Puget Sound, have also banned smok-
ing. within their organizations. [BM, Campbeil Soup,.
DuPont~ Eastman Kodak, AT&T, General Foods,
Dow Chemical, and Ford are other companies whose
approaches to smoking have been discussed in the lit-
erature. An inc.'easing number of commerc'Jai health
insurers and Blue Cross and Blue Shieldl plans are
adopting more vigorous stances against smoking, both
by restricting it within their organizations and by oi'-
feting discounts on premiums paid bv nonsmokers.
A recent nationwide survey, of company vice presi-
dents and personnel directors showed that, in general,
nonsmokers who are lookingl for a job are more [ikclV
to. get hired than equally qualified job seekers who
smoke. Robert Half. president of Robert Half Interna-
tional an executive recruiting firm, has said that the
"bottom [ine is that workplace attitudes toward smok-
ing are becoming increasingly more negative and that
smokers may be limiting boch their chances of getting
[aired and their opportunities for promotion/"~
T,~e federal government is following private corpo-
rations and: a number of state and local governments

all have state laws regulating smoking in the work-
place.) The General Services Administration, which, is
rmponsible for the maintenance and management of
thousands of federal buildings, is developing tougher
guidelines that will restrict smoking in of~ce spaces
where mor~ th~n one person works and ban. smoking
in. auditoriums, ciassrooms,~ conference r~oms, medi-
c~l care facilities, ~nd bathrooms. The draft guidelines
aJso allow the individual agency he~Is to adopt even
tougher policies. L~t November, the Senate Govern,
mental: Affairs Committee reported a bill (S. 1937)
that is designed to restrict smoking in federal, build:
ings. Full Senate at'don is pending.
In the most~ r~cent federal action, Secretary, Wein-
berger announced on March I0 that he intends to
launch an "intense antismolting campaign . . . at all
levelS of all services"; he also. said that the prograsn
wiIli "become a major responsibility of all c~mmand-
ers and: commanding o~cers, up to and: including the
highest levels of each service and department." Wcin-
berger's announcement c~rne a.s pat~ of a repor~ on:
smoking in the military that w~s prepared by the Pen-
t~,on at the r~quest of Coheres. In calling for the
new campaign, Weinberger rejected a recommenda-
tion advanced by William. Mayer, ~ssistant secretary
of defense for heaJth affairs, to ban the sale of ci~-
r~ttes in military commissaries. Weinberger conceded
in a letter to Senator Mark Hatfield (R-Oreg.) that
selling cigarettes to military personnel: at lower prices
represented a~ "undesirable" inconsistency in.govern-
ment policy. He pledged to review his decision ~at the
end of a period of time reasonable to measure the
effectiveness of our ~ggressive ant/smoking campaign
in. decreasing the use of tobacco by the troops."
Assumptions about social class seem to be develop-

Work-site policies are caught up in the controversy,
over the effect of passive smoke on nonsmokers. Al-
though the scientific knowledge base on which passive
smoking is indicted as a health hazard is far less
sotid than that on which smoking itself is condemned,
the base is becoming more substantial Donald R.
Shopland, director of ".he Office of Smoking and.
Health at the Department of Health and Human
Services (,DHHS); said in an in:crview: "Of all the
issues, this is the one that;will propel the United States
toward a smoke-~r~ society." The Board on Environ.

search Council is currently conducting a $175,000
study to examine how indirect exposure to smoke can
bc measured and to assess its health effects. The

F.inalIy, the Nationali Cancer Institute (NCI)is
heavily involved in antismoking activity through an
intervention research program designed to identify the
most effective strategies for preventing people from
starting to use tobacco and for helping them to. stop
using it. The program employs the same scientific log-
ic that the NCI uses for its national cancer-control
program. Emphasis is placed: on a progression of ac-
tivity from basic investigations to. broad applications
in target populations.
joseph W~ Cullen, deputy director of the Division
of Cancex Prevention and; Control of the NCL esti-
mated in an interview that the institute would spend
$80 million during the next five years in stepped-up
efforts to identify the most successful smol~ing control
programs and to implement them. The NCI's control
methods will concentrate on interventions with ado-
Iescents in schools, the use of the mass media, employ-
ing physidhns and dentists in anfismoking campaigns,
and the development of self-help procedures.
In my earlier report on smoking, ~ I noted that feder-
al policy on tobacco use reflects a balancing of con-
flicting forces. This balancing act continues. Whik: the
NCI invests millions in smoking control, the Depart-
merit of Agricultur~ continues to operate its tobacco
price-support program. Indeed, the agriculture de-
partment spends more every year ~ about S~.3 mil-
lion ~ on research to develop a safe cigarette than is
represented by the endre budget of the Office of
Smoking and Health: at the DHHS (about $3.5 mil-
lion). The news, however, is that the balance is ripping
away from the interests of the cigarette man,facturers
anff the tobacco p~oducers toward a greater concern
about the medical consequences of smoking..~though
the federal gove~ment is heavily involved in tipping
this balance, the movement is far more broad-based,
involving as it d0~s a wide variety of private interests.
Given the diversity of the interests involved; the trend
toward a reduction in smoking, is likely to continue
into the indefinite future.

Radioactive Footprints. How
did radioactive elements get into
cigarettes? T. C. Tso, a former
researcher for the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, tracked these radio-
active footprints to the fields where
tobacco is grown. For many dec-
ades, farmers have fertilized to,
bacco crops with phosphates rich in
m:anium. By •decay, this uranium
generates radium'226, which in
turn spawns radon-222, and even-

.Harley of the New York University
Medical Center discovere~l that
smokers who quit ~till had, five
years later, almost as much lower-
lung radioactivity from lead-210 as
did active smokers. And most.
smokers do not quit permanently.
Indeed, each year the average
smoker in the United States con-
sumes more than i I,ooo cigarettes.
.. The most harmful radiation in
cigarettes, however, comes not
from lead-210, which emits the tel-.
atively weak beta radiation, but
from its radioactive "granddaugh-
ter," po10nium:210, which emits
highly localized, ionizing alpha ra-
diation, the same sort given off by.

Harvard University School of Pub-

animals and humans. They foffnd
that alpha radiation from inhaled
polonium-210, at doses the same as
those inhaled by long-time smok-

miners on the job inhale short-lived
radon daughters as well as poloni-

isotopes, and some studies have
shown that those miners who also

FP, ANK F.. RESNIK

Vhy don t we stamp a pack of lies?
on the cartons. As the number of
children who actually are missing is
small, and the number of cancer dead
from cigarets is endless, the placing
of memorial pictures on cigarets is
much more natural.
ON TIlE WAY to work yesterday,
! passed the headquarters of
the i'hilip Morris Co.. which
sells lhe following cigarets: Virginia
Slims. Marlboro, Parliament Benson
& .i ledges, Merit, Players, among
o|hers.
Of the last six cancer deaths I was
around, two of the people were heavy
smokers, and in one of the long
illnesses, up at Memorial ltospital on
the East Side, the lung cancer
metastasized, which means it spread,
,and it went to my friend's brain
practically as we stood there.
Nothing tempered, softened or
suppressed his remorseless pain;
Marlboros at the end torture all parts On a Marlboro pack they can put
the picture of the late Robert O'Con-
nell, with the caption stating that he
started smoking Marlboros young and
that he died in agony while still
young.
"1 Got My Tumor From Marlboros:
The late Robert O'Connell."
The most popular picture that
could be on cigarets, I believe, would
be that of the late Rose Cipolione of
Little Ferry, N.J., whose lawsuit,
• started in January of 1984 against
three of the largest cigaret manu-
facturers in the country, is still con-
sidered a great danger to the eigaret
of the body.
The entrance to the offices of
Philip Morris is on 41st and Park. It is
a big building, and reflects a country
in which each year $13 billion is spent
on cancer care and $20 billion is
spent on the purchase of cigarets, a
prime causer of cancer. Entering the
lobby, one is greeted by a sign calling
on everybody in Philip Morris to give
blood. There is one flaw in this: The
blood banks have neither staff nor
the storage space to guarantee that a
person dying of Marlboros in Memo-
rial cancer hospital will get blood
transfusions directly from the people companies. The companies can no
longer be harnfful to Bose Cipollone
because she Is dead, which makes her
only one among the 350.~0 people
who dle of cancer from smoking
cigarets each year. She died shortly
after a deposition was taken as part of
her lawsuit The suit goes on, with
her husband as the plaintiff.
Yesterday, as I walked around the
Philip Morris building, I took out a
who manufacture Marlboros and the
too many other brands that caused
the cancer. Which is too bad because
it seems like a fine ide~.
What should be the main entrance
to the building, on 42d St, is taken up
by the Whitney Museum, which main-
tains a branch there. Philip Morris, in
the cancer business, cloaks itself with
art. This Joining of cancer and art has
caused a number of people I know to
turn over pictures of depa~ed Philip
Morfm smokers to a group of artis~-
against~ancer, the picture~ to be
turned into possible artwork on the
Philip Morris pecks. 'l~ey could

during a deposition for this lawsuit
and searched for a line that could be
placed across a pack of Marlboros or
Parliaments. both of which she
smoked--along with Chesterfields.
WIEN ROSE testified, she had
little hair because of chemo-
therapy, and her left hmg
had already been removed. Itere are
the parts of her testimony that I
glanced at yesterday:
Qo llow are you feeling this
morning?
A. Very tired.
Q. tlave you taken any medication
within the last 4~ hours?
A. Monday, I had chemotherapy,
and it makes me tired and sick.
That was a good start. I then began
leafing through pages and came to
this:
Q. Again, if you would like to take
a break at any point ....
A~ 1 am starting to get tired.
Q. Would you like to take a break
now?
& Please.
(A recess is taken at Ih20 a.nx

room. Just so the record reflects the
fact that after we terminated the
deposition, which was going on for
about an hour and a half, my eli, nt,

out and fainted, whatever. I'm not
going to be a diagnostician. But :he
ended up on the floor. We all kaow
that she has cancer ....
Some pages later, this appeared:
Q. We have been at it about 45
minutes.
Mr. F~teli: Let us take a short
break.
A. I am having a problem
breathing.
Q. Would you like some water?
A. Please.
The pages of testimony then show
that Mrs. Cipollone came back after a
15~minute break and spoke about
Chesterfield cigarets.
Q. You mentioned you recall parti-
cularly an ad concerning Chester-
fields with a pretty girl with a big hat.
Is that one of the ads Mr. Edell
showed you to refresh your recollec-
tion?
A. No, sir.
Q. Do you remember any other
particular Chesterfield ads?
A. Well, there were a lot of them
but I don't particularly remember
any particular ones except pretty
girls and movie stars, Joan Crawford.
Which, as l read it, gave me the
idea for the ad that can run across
both the Chesterfields and Marlboro
packs: On the front of the pack, a
picture of Rose Cipollone in a pretty
hat; on the reverse aide a picture of
Rose with the hat off and her hair
wasted by chemotherapy.

Re :
Growing Tobacco - What others have said ...
The enclosed brochure was published by the British-American
Tobacco Company Ltd. It is also used as an insert in their
brochure, "Tobacco: Creating Wealth in the Deweloping World".
We believe this is an. excellent collection of quotes on the
agricultural aspects of tobacco growing coming from several
prominent organisations and individuals.
We suggest that you consider adapting this material to your own
local situation and use it with interested c~rcles.
Best regards.

Growing tobacco
What others have said...
.... ON LAND USE
"Tobacco accounts for 0.37 per cent of the total land area under arable and
permanent crops in the Third World. As an annual crop which occupies land for only
part. of the year, the area of land under tobacco which entirely precludes other
production is, therefore, an even smaller proportion of the:total."
.... ON FOOD PRODUCTION
"At the same time, it is important to note that tobacco is frequently the vehicle for
the opening up and exptoitation of new land. In this way, new food production
arises directly out of tobacco growing,,'
"Ordy rarely are tobacco farmers concerned solely with tobacco cultivation. Apart
from the t~aditional and necessary setting aside of land to meet, as a bare minimum,
family food requirements, other crops are grown because of the rotational practices
and opportunities for intercroppingwhich arise from tobacco cultivation, and, of
course, because agronomic and market.conditions offer scope for their cultivation
irrespective of the presence of tobacco."
"In some circumstances, other crops can be grown on the same land as tobacco but
not during the same period. Examples o[ such complementarity include tobacco/.
maize in many parts of Southern Africa, tobacco~main season rice in South East
Asia, tobacco/groundnuts in Jamaica and tobacco/maize and tobacco/rice in Costa
Rica. In yet other cases, for example tobacco]tea, neither competition nor
complementarity occur, since the crops cannot be grown on the same land."

of
rob~co ~ Food ~ 1983. residues of fertiliser applied to the tobacco crop upon the crop.immediately
following.
The correct application of fertiliser to the tobacco, crop thus reduces, and in some
cases entirely replaces, the fertiliser requirements for the succeeding crop or,
alternatively, provides some of the beneficial effect of fertiliser where none would
otherwise have been applied. The monetary savings brought abou~ by residues of
phosphate and potash (but. not nitrogeneous fertiliser)can be substantial and may
make more viable the cultivation of other crops. The high standard of field: hygiene
required to grow tobacco successfully likewise reduces the pest and disease risks to
succeeding cropa"
Economist Intelligence Unit
Tobacco & Food Crops,
1983, page
"It must be borne in mind that the termination of tobacco: growing can also result
in the decline in or removal of associated food production."
Economist Intelligence Unit
Tobacco & Food Crops,
1983, page 106
..... ON IMPROVING FARMING SKILLS'
"It is thus apparent, that the impact of tobacco farming upon the practices used in
the production of other crops in the locale, even if incidental to. its primary purpose,
is considerable and that such 'spillover' effects are: predominantly beneficial.
Tobacco. farming acts as a catalyst to, other agricultural production in the locality,
resulting in a number of 'spin-offs' which would not.otherwise have reached the
tobacco-growing regions so quickly. Amongst these can be numbered the
demonstrated lessons on the value of crop rotation and soil analyses; the benefits
to other crops of the use of tillage machinery bought for use on tobacco land; and,
the overall gains from farmers practicing~ for the benefit of all their crops, skills
and insight into good husbandry in general acquired through their involvement in
tobacco cultivation. In a rural economy which is founded upon agriculture and
where the availability, of technical assistance from the government extension service
may be minimal, the incidental effects of tobacco cultivation can be invaluable and
its impact extremely profound. The particular value of tobacco as a 'teaching' crop,
often cited, is thus of broad practical relevance and of potentially far-reaching
beneficial impact."

.... ON FARMERS, INCOMES
"Tobacco compares very favourably with other crops even in those countries where
it yields a relatively low income per unit of land."
"In nearly every producing country, tobacco is one of the most valuable crops
grown, and its contribution to total agricultural income is almost invariably
significant."
Eco~omtzt Intelligence Unit
Leer Tobecco. 1951. p~e 72
"What would be lost if tobacco growing (and export) were entirely removed from the
economy? The EIU believes it reasonable to suggest that if tobacco were so
removed, the ~ocal population would lose a significant source of direct and indirect
income and employment with no comparable replacement,"

The Economic Significance
oJ~ Tobocco, IM2, page 20
"Tobacco growing generates Iarge-scale rural employment in over-populated areas
and provides a ready source of cash for smallholders who would otherwise be
dependent on less remunerative crops or on subsistence farming."

'~robscco leaf is an important source of foreign exchsnge for exportLng countries."
"Exports of tobacco play an important part in the agricultural economies of many
developing countries which depend on them for a significant proportion of total
foreign exchange earnings,"
Economist Intelligence Unit
Leaf Tobacco, 1981. page 9
.... ON IMPORT SUBSTITUTION
"Savings in scarce foreign exchange are also achieved since the bulk of production
of unmanufactured tobacco is required for local consumption. Such tobacco does
not enter into international trade, but it does eliminate imports that have to be paid
for in foreign currencies."
Economist lnteH~nce Unit
Tobacco & Food Crop:,
198~, page 24
"Increased tobacco production as an import-substitution strategy recognises that
smoking cannot be 'disinvented'i .... A highly restrictive policy is likely to give rise
either to contraband trade ..... or, perhaps, covert tobacco-cultivating activities."
Economiz~ l~telli~ence Unit
Tobacco & Food
198~, page xill
.... ON FLUE CURING NEEDS
"Deforestation in the Third World has a number of diverse causal factors, including
the use of wood for fuel for domestic purposes and rural industry, commercial
exploitation, shifting cultivation and large scale cattle-grazing. Small-scale rural
industries, of which tobacco-curing may be considered but one of many, are
responsible for only a very minor part of total removals so, although substantial,
the volume of fuelwood used for curing must be putin proper perspective."
Econom~t Intelligence Unit
Tobacco & Food
1983, pege~ 1'17 & 118
'~rhe tobacco sector has its obligations to the local populations, and the country
as a whole, to ameliorate the effects of its activities on forest resources. In many
areas where fuelwood is an important source of energy for curin~ the industry has
taken steps to conf~ontand to deal with the problem by devoting resources to the
search for more efficient curing systems, and by seeking, where appropriate,
alternative sources of energy to fuelwood, including the utilization of agricultural
by-products. In some countries, particularly where there is little option but to use
fuelwood, these measures are increasingly being supplemented by the initiation
and organisation of reafforestation schemes."

.... ON' FARMING IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD
"For many years, the causes of agricultural growth were controversial and little
understood, That. is no: longer so. Evidence and experience now support certain
key propositions about the role of governments and of farmers themselves in
encouraging this growth. Starting with farmers, it can confidently be said that:
All farmers -- small, medium, and large -- respond to economic incentives. Far
from being "tradition-bound peasants", farmers have shown that they share a
rationality that far outweighs differences in their sociai and ecological
conditions...
Farmers contribute to agricultural investment~ All of them, even those farming
only a few acres, save a substantial part.of any extra income and invest it on their
farms. They also use their own and their families' labor to. level~land, grow trees,
dig ditches, and build paddy terraces- activities that create capital to produce
more agricultural output in the future...
Small farmers can be highly productive.. Typically, they produce more from
each acre than large farmers do, despite the often considerable disadvantages of
their limited access to services, markets, and production inputs such as fertilizer .....
Research and technology need to be developed and adapted to local conditions,..
Rural development programmes have helped overcome obstacles to increased
agricultural output and have also benefited the poor...
Major investments in irrigation, transport .and marketing networks are needed .....
Where little agriculturai.progress has been made, iris sometimes because of an
adverse agrarian structure inherited from the past...
"The ability of small farmers to take the plunge into cash crops has an immediate
effect in.a village. Even if only marginaily successful, the farmer needs help at
harvest time so that casual labor is taken on. When farmers have a profitable year,
their first expenditure is home improvement. Materials and labor come from the
village. As farmers climb out of a subsistence level, they take other members of their

Stmmary of Study
The Solmon Study, published and distributed by the Tobacco Institute, is a
smoking policy survey of the I,I00 largest US corporations--forty percent of
which (445) responded to the mailed questionnaire. It was conducted by Lewis C.
Solmon, Dean of the UCLA Graduate Education School, in late 1984. The major
findings are:
- Workplace smoking, policies are not a trend among major cc~panies.
- ~,ployees can work problems out for themselves.
- Most workplace smoking policies that are in place apply only to
certain employees.
- Most policies are initiated by management for safety reasons.
- The majority of workplace smoking policies have not been established because
of increased public pressures or legislation.
- Most c~[~anies do not consider snaking to be a factor ~n hiring..
- Cc~pan/es do not want to segregate their workers or make major changes
in the workplace.
Clerical Errors
In a 1985 printed sunmary of the study, sixteen tables were included in an
appendix. Due to sloppy proofing and inadequate explanation, Tables I and. 2
contain incorrect and misplaced figures. Table 3 appears twice, Moreover, scme
columns total over 100%, but fail to explain that more than one response per
q]/estion per respondent was allowed.
Conclusion
Although sloppy proofreading work, these errors do not affect in any way the
Study's findings or conclusions on the substantive points. The cmissions and
errors are being corrected in a new printing scheduled for November.

SUMMARY
Smoking Poliaes in Large Corlmrations
In late 1984, the Human Resources Policy Corporation, Los
Angeles, Calif., surveyed 1100 of the nati0n~s largest and fast;
est growing companies to.determine the nature andlextentl of
their workplace smoking policies. Results of this survey, com-
pleted in May. 1985, challenge the widely reported ~ trend to-
ward restrictive workplace smoking .policies in major corpora-
tions:
The HUman Resources Policy Corporation sent an eight;
page questionnaire to Fortune 1000: service and industrial com-
panies; and to lnc: magazine's 100 fastestl growing companies:
Surveys were sent to the chief executive officer or the vice
presidenti for human resources:
The survey questioned respondents on the existence of
COrl~rate smoking policies.and reasons for implementation.
Results are based on,responses from 445 companies. The 40
percent response rate is acceptable, given the sensitive nature
of the data. The responses are representative of the fullipopu-
lation when anal~czed by region and indUstry type: Among the
results:
Workplace smoking policies are not a trend among
major companies.
Most respondents (63i 8 percent).do not have a formali smok-
ing policy, but rather encourage their employees to use com-
mon sense and courtesy to solve problems among themselves:
Companies in the north,central region (28.1 percent)andi
tt~e south (2Z I percent)are less likelyto have a~smoking
policy than those in the west (44.7 percent),
Employees can work problems out for themselves.
()f. the 63. 8 percent of companies without smoking policies, 35
percent reported considering.and rejecting one.
(If tl|e companies I hat considered but rejected a~ smoking
policy, most (59.3 percent): said they did not believe a policy
woultJ be acceptediwell by employees. When a smoldng prob-
lem arises. ?018 percent of all respondents saidi they encourage
employees to work problems.out for themselves. Fewer than,
one percent said i the supervisor orders the employee to stop
smoking.
Most workplace smoking policies that are in place apply
only to certain employees.
The general company workplace policy prohibits some emplOy-
ees from smoking while: working: This occurs most~ frequently
with employees who deal lwith hazardous substances, sensitive
machinery and equipment, or food. Few companies prohibit alli
employees from, smoking while on company premises (Z 5 per-
cent): nor do,they prohibiti all employees from smoking while
working (~: 9 percent).
Most policies are initiated by management for safety
reasons.
Virtually no companies reported limplementing smoking policies
to:increase productivity or reduce costs.
The majority of workplace smoking policies have not
been established because of incrensed public pressures
or legislation.
Since public pressure for restrictive workplace smoking legisla-
tion has come about in the past three to five years, most com-
pany smokingpolicies cannot be attributed to.this factor be-
cause most have:been in effect for longer than five years.
Only nine percenti of respondents said they had imple-
mented a policy within, the last year. COmpanies in the west
(~2.4 percent), followed by the northeast (10.4 percen0:were:
most likely to have implemented policies within, the past year.
These regions of the country are facing the greatest number of
legislative workplace restriction proposals.
Most companies do not consider smoking to be a factor
in hiring.
Eighty-five point four percent of companies said they never
consider whether a job applicant smokes and 81. li percent
never ask about an applicant's smoking habits. Only four per-
cent always ask:
Ninety-nine point one percent said they hire smokers.
Only four of the 445 respondents said they refused to hire
smokers.
Companies do not want to segregate their workers or
make major changes in the workplace.
Most (87.4 percent) do not assign employees to work areas or
offices according to:whether they smoke and 40:7 percent said l
they do not modify the work environment to accommodate
nonsmokers:
2

Over the pastl several years:there has been considerable
bate over the need for legislation to restrict smoking in the
workplace: Proponents of legislation claim a trend toward
workplace smoking policies among major companies:
There is no trend. This comprehensive survey by the Hu-
man Resources Policy Corporation, Los Angeles, Calif., o[ the
nation's largest and fastest growing companies reveals less
than one-third have some form of smoking policy.
In mostl instances, the policy prohibits some employees
from smoking while working with hazardous materials or sensi-
tive equipmentL These policies are generally accompanied by
other safety regulations thati are necessary because of the haz,
ardous nature of the work: Most workplace smoking policies
have been in effect for more than five years; long before em-
ployee: smoking legislation, came into vogue.
Companies are not instituting radical changes to accommo~
date nonsmokers: Few comparlies consider smoking behavior
in their hiring practices and virtually no companies refuse to
hire smokers.
Companies will provide :adequate ventilation, post signs or
even rearrange certain work areas to accommodate nonsmok~
ers. Buti few are willing to: construct new partitions or to seg-
regate smokers from nonsmokers. Most companies simply en-
courage employees to work outi problems among themselves.
Companies rarely consider cost savings; profit increases:
or employee morale when they. consider a, smoking policy, Poli-
cies usually are: implemented by management because of safety
factors. When companies reject smoking:policies it is usually
because of the difficulty of implementing a: policy, the factl that
employees would object, or tile belief that any problems can be
worked out among employees:
Companies in, certain regions of the country, particularly
the west, and in certain industries, usually where smoking may
pose a safety hazard, are more likely than others to have a
workplace smoking policy. However, most policies have simply.
formalized safety practices that have existed for years:
This survey clearly demonstrates that employers have
and will continue to handte responsibly the issue of workplace
smoking~ State:or local I~gislation concerning,the issue is not
needed. Employers place high confidence in the ability of their
employees to work out any problems among themselves.
The Sample
In 1984, the Human, Resources Policy Corporati0n,of Los An-
geles, Calif., surveyed the nation's largest and fastest growing.
companies to determine the:nature and extent o[ their work-
place smoking policies.
The large sample:included Fortune 1000 service and in-
dustrial companies and Inc. magazine's 100 fastestl growing:
companies. Chief executive officers or human resource vice
presidents of each company received an eight-page question-
naire asking about: the existence of corporate smoking policies
and reasons for implementation,
Four hundred forty-five of the 1100 companies surveyed
responded. This 40: percent response rate is acceptable given
the sensitive nature of the data. If anything, companies.having
policies are likely to be overrepresented in the number of re-
spondents, as they would be more likely to take time to com-
plete the questionnaire. These responses are representative of
the full population when analyzed by industry, type (see Table
1)~
Responses also are representative of industry by region
(see: Table2). Overalli 17.1 percent of respondents are located
in an area with workplace: smoking legislation: Sixteen pointi
nine percent of respondents are located in an area in,which
workplace smoking legislation is being considered.
Aims of the Study
In conducting the study,~ Human,Resources Policy Corporation
wanted to.determine and understand formal smoking policies
and other practices as they relate to employee smoking in large
corporations. The study attempts;to establish the extent and
nature of smoking policies, what type of companies have them,
why they were implemented, and how long they have been,in,
effect. In addition, the study examines the relationship of
smoking to,company hiring practices, and how companies deall
with. smoking:complaints.
The study tests several assumptions such as the "trend"
toward workplace smoking restrictions and that smokers are
finding it increasingly difficult to find employment. The results
are presented in the hope that any corporate or public policy
decision~making concerning smoking in the workplace: will be
based on factual information~

bacco Institute:

THE SURVEY
IN OETAIL
Most companies do not have smoking policies.
Contrary to the widely reportedl trend toward,restrictive
workplace smoking policies, most companies (63.8 percent)i do
not have a formal policy. Companies least: likely to have:a
smoking policy are those located in the south (22.1 percent)
and north central region (,28.1 percent). Not surprisingly, com,
panics most likely to have policies are in areas where a work-
place smoking law is in effect (59. 2 percent) and in the west
(44.7 percent),
Industries least likely to havea policy are mining (11~ 1
percent), metals (16~ li percen0: andl diversified services (18. 5
percent). Industries most likely, to:have apolicy are pharma~
ceuficals (57.1' percen0; insurance (56i0:percent); and finance
(51.5 percent): See Table 3.
Companies have'considered and rejected smoking
polieies;
Twenty~four point three percent of all respondents said!they
have considered andl rejectedl a workplace smoking policy. Re-
spondents said~they rejected policies because employees would
not accept a policy (59.3 percent), because employees can han-
dle problems on their own (,58,3 percen0; or because a~policy
wouldbe too,difficult to implementl (38,9 percen0: Nineteen
point eight percent of respondents:said they believed a smok-
ing ban would decrease employee morale, See Table 4.
Policies are: rejected most frequently, in the north central
region (28.1 percent):andlthe south f24.2 percen0: Policies are
rejected less frequently in the west (22.4 percenO and the
northeast (21i 5 percentl): See Table 5.
Companies encourage employees to work problems out
for themselves.
When a smokingproblem,arises, most companies (:70.Sper-
cent) encourage employees to work problems out for them-
selves with common courtesy. Virtually no respondents (.9:
percent) said they. order an employee to discontinue smoking,
See Table6.
Twenty-two pointi five: percent of respondents said they.
will encourage an employee to redlace smoldng when a~com-
plaint arises: Nine point seven percent said they do nothing
when~ a complaint arises.
Most workplace smoking policies apply only to certain
workers.
Virtually no companies (only 2.5 percenO prohibit all employ-
ees from,smoking on,the premises nor do they prohibit smok-
ing while working (2.9:percent). Thirty-four pointl eightl per-
cent of respondents said they prohibit certain employees from,
smoking while working, See Table 7.
Fifteen point seven percent of respondents said they re-
strict smoking for employees holding certain jobs. Those most
likely to be prohibited from smoking are those employees who
work with dangerous substances, sensitive machinery and
food.
Smoking is most frequently restricted or prohibited in
areas where there are sensitive chemicals, supplies and equip-
menti as well as in food processing areas,
Companies post signs, irfform employees individually, or
distribute a policy manual to:let employees know about their
policy.
Increased public pressure is not a factor in
establishment of workplace smoking policies.
Only nine percent ofl respondents said a workplace smoking.
policy was initiatediwithin the last year~ Most companies (20
percent) responded that their policy has been, in, effect for over
five years. Only 3.6:percent of the policies have been in effect
for between three and five years. SeeTable 8.
Since public pressure for restrictive:workplace smoking
legislation has come about in,the past three to five years, most
company smoking policies cannot be attributed to this factor--
most have been in effectl for more than five years.
Workplace smoking.policies are more:likely attributed lto
the realities and dangers in the workplace that have existedl for
many years: This.is demonstrated!by the fact that industries:
most likely to have:hadla policy for over five years are food
(48:3 percent); pharmaceuticals (35~7 percent) and~chemicals
(31.8 percent). And 39.9 percent of companies where there
are hazardous materials or sensitive machinery have:had smok-
ing policies for over five years. See Table 9:
Companies Iocated~in an area with a workplace smoking.
law (29 percent): and the westl (22.4 percent)are most likely to
have implemented a, policy within the last year. Industries most
likely to: have implemented a policy within the: last year are in-
surance, finance and scientific equipment.

Workplace smoking policies are initiated by
management.
Most workplace smoking policies were initiated by manage-
ment (37.3 percentS: Only 13.3 percent of respondents Said the
policy, was initiated because of a~ state or local ordinance. See
Table lO~
~rtrtually no companies:implemented smoking policies to
increase employee productivity or to reduce costs: See Table
11. Safety was:the reason most often cited for initiating the
policy (25.4 percent):
Most companies do not segregate smokers from
nonsmokers.
Most companies (87.4 percent) , do not assign employees to
work areas or offices according to whether they smoke. See
Table 12: Rearrangement ofl work: areas t0:segregate smokers
from nonsmokers is least likely in the south (16.8'percent)andl
north central regions (22:3 percentl): It is most likely in areas
where a workplace smoking lawis in effect (53.9 percent) and
in the west (40~ 8 percent)~
Industries least likely to rearrange work areas to segre-
gate smokers from nonsmokers (See Table13) are food (:10~3
percent), mining/petroleum, refining (1I. 1 percent) and con-
sumer goods (:13.3 percent). Industries most likely to do so are
insurance (48 percent), finance (38~ 2:percent) and scientific
equipmentl (35. i percent~:
Companies do not want to make major changes in the
workplace.
Forty point seven percent ofl respondents said they do not
modify the workplace to:accommodate smokers and nonsmok-
ers. Companies in the south are least likely to modify the
workplace~ Companies in tihe west and in areas where a work.
place smoking law is. in effect are most likely to modify.
Industries least likely to modify are mining/petroleum re-
fming~ petrochemical and diversified services. Industriesmost
likely to dO so are pharmaceuticals,: chemicals and insurance.
The most frequent modifications to accommodate nora
smokers are provision of adequate ventilation, (40:4 percent)i,
posting of signs.(27.0 percenti): and ventilation improvement
(26:5 percent)~ The most unlikely.changes:are new partitions
(4.3 percent) and separate offices for smokers and nonsmokers
(4.0 percent).
Practically all companies hire smokers.
Contrary to anti-smoking literature, smokers are not finding it
difficuiti to secure employment. Virtually all (99,1 percent): re~
spondents said they. hire smokers.
Only four (~.9 percent)of the 445 respondents said they
refuse to.hire smokers (See Table 14): Even in the westi only
li 3 percent~ of respondents said they had such a policy.
Eighty-one point one percent of respondents .never ask
abouti a job applicant's smoking, while four percent said they al-
ways ask. Companies in utilities (90:5 percent), food (89:7 per-
cent) andlpaper/publishing (89.5 percent)are least likely to ask
(See Table 15)~ Even those industries most likely to question an
applicant about smoking--pharmaceuticals, metals and trans-
portation-~tid so only 1~,.31 9~7and 9.1 percent ofl the time,
respectively.
Eighty-five point four percent of respondents said they.
never consider whether a~job applicant smokes. Only 2:2per-
cent take smoking history into account. The retailing anditrans-
portation services industry (92.9 ~percent): is least likely to take
this into account. The scientific equipment industry (8,I per-
cent); with its highly sensitive machinery, is most likely to take
smoking, intO: consideration~
Only 4.3 percent of respondents said.they dO noti hire
smokers for certain jobs: This is more likely to be the case:in
highly regulated companies where employees deal with sensi;
tire machinery, hazardous substances andifood. When dangers
exist in the workplace, smoking iseither regulated or smokers
are precluded from those jobs altogetherL Even those indus-
tries most likely not to hire smokers for certain j0bs--diversi-
fied services, metals and utilities~id so only ill; 9~7 and!9:5
percent of the time, respectively.
Most companies do not assume the cost of smoking
cessation programs.
Although,42:9 percent of respondents said lthey offer a smok-
ing cessation,program~ only 29:O:percent of those companies
assume the:cost (See Table 16). Only 15.7 percent of respon-
dentls said they allow employees to participate on company
tifne.
