Product Safety Letter, a Washington-based newsletter,.saidiCPSC's "artfully-warded''N'Iay 16'de- cision was limited to the petition,, and topsiders told PSL they are not ruling, out possible action on acute hazards of tobacco products." • Three Commissioners!voted against jurisd'iction,. Two, Simpson and'P'ittle, favored1jurisdiction. New:York,Times said Action , on Smoking & Healthi(Banzhaf), called the CPSC move incorrect ,andlpremature. Banzhaf told the Times he would probably file " a petiti~on for reconsideration and a public!hearing. NE'W'YORK TIMES reported that the Federal Trade Commission is investiga- ting whether the heal~th,warniing reqluired in cigarette advertising iss being printed initype smaller than required by the two-year-old consent decree negotiated by the Commission and the cigarette industry., Last month, FTC staff'queried!260 newspapers anc7'40 magazines asking for -,- _tear sheets, dates of publication and ad agencies involved in aIl, cig- arette advertising since Tast Nov.

MEDIA NATIONAL ASSN,, OF BROADCASTERS" Code News saidd the Code Authority "wouldilike to advise radioo and television broadcasters, a]Jike,, that the prohibition against ciga- rette advertising in the broadcast media goes beyond commercials aimedl solely to promote the sale and use of cigarettes." Code News warned, for example, that "'it is unacceptable to announce the fact that free cartons of cigarettes will be distributed to visitors to a men"s clothing shop during its grand opening." LOUISVILLEICOURIER-JOURNAL reported that:Tobacco Tax Council data shows that cigarette sales gain~in first quarter '74 was 1.6 percent, compared with a,3'.8 percent gain,in first quarter ''7'3. A Tax Council spokesman said no conclusions had been drawn, and another unnamed industry spokesman spec- ulated that higher consumer costs of gas and food might be the reason., PUBLIC RADIO interviewed Thomas, Johns Hopkins researcher, on her be- li~ef that emotional clues may predict susceptibility to suicide, can- cer, heart andiother disorders.: :"The theory that a diet or a cigarette or something is the ultimate cause doesn't attract me very much. It'suggests~t'hat everyone Ua born id'enticaZ, and'we know that's not true. If everyone is born ident'icai, then we:'ZZ look onZ,y, at those who smoke and those who do not smoke and say„ 'Yea; this is the only difference between them and it must be a causaZ'fact'or.

Standard editorially pondered the Friedtnan- Rosenman book~,_"Type A Behavior andiYour Heart"r (News- lietter 98) and said:: "Smoking does not seem to do anyone any:goodi„ but there is some question.whether smokingiin -^-- i'tself is the cause of heart disease. We look forward to more research~on heart disease and human behavior andi personality traits." EDITORIAL GUNFIGHT, begiun last winter with,NewScientist publication in England of the Burch-Doll argument over wMether smoking causes lung cancer,, broke out of'the letters-to-the-editor page again with publi- cation of a new article by Rosenblatt.

CRACKERJACK COLUMNS onithe nonsmoker questi~on appeared in the Dallas Morning News and New York Times--the latter syndicated'to many other papers.

By: WILLIAM MURCHISON Editorial Staff'Wtiten NOT YET has the City Council faid' eyes on that noweelebrated ordinanc'e proposed to it - the one that' would'd ban smoking in pubWc places. But if let- ters; to The: News - are:any'indication, thecoua'cflwill s h o u t: the ordi- nance through-or '5 be mdd>T nllr „r town on a raii' by Ilk t h e Antismoking League or wbatev, en, .

I' said in an earr, lier feature about smoking;: 1 do non smoke; I' have never smoked; I do notv like cigarettes;: nor cigars; nor pipes: But I will defend to the death your con+ stitutional' cight to puff.. The problem of'f smoking in, public places-restaurants, theaters, elevators and the like--is overrated:to begin with. Lately, I' have been perkongup my nos- trils' to detect h'ow'many devotees of thc evil weed surround me. Comparatively' few, I find in the normal course: About one ou,tof ten in Section106 of Turnpike Stadium the other night. The following night, at a restaurant, I'c'ompleteiy4or• got'my mission, and,therefore neglect- ed to notice wbether anyone at all was spewing noxious'tumes inmy face. I haven't been to a,movie:in~the last week or two, but, I know offhand'that, theaters usually have smoking sections; that, orthey forbid smoking entirely. NO majorproblkm here: Let us grant, all the same, that'at' least a few of: tny fellbw nonsmokers own nostrils more delicate even than my own allergy-sens'itivt sett 147ustwe therefore ban smoking in public places, just as those 6,000 s;ignen of the anti- smoking petition handed in at city hall, wish us to do? I, should hope not;,The fundamental issue is simply this: Tfiat:anyantis,mok- ing ordinance, however ingeniously drawn, is an attempt to substitute law for manners,. SinoRers, are not to be coaxed' orahamedout oC theirfuma,tory ways; they are to',be compelled, forced, brow25eaten. Here, if' there ever was one, is a case for the American Civil Libercies Union. Wholeheartedly do I agree: It',is rude-abominably rude-to blow's,moke in another's face: I', should equate: it to belching in church. But rude' is all that: ltis. The antismokers will reply that smoking,causes lung eancer; and em- physema;_that merely to ingestafew puffs of,someone else's cigarette smoke is': to endanger one's ]ungs. Perhaps'd: am wrong, butI know of no study show- ing conelusively that smokers in res- taurants and theaters give theirfelCow patrons lung cancer. Even the ciga, rette-1ung cancer nexus remairts incon- clusive, if' I', understand r3ghtlythere- sults of ongoing research.,Forexample, the recent finding by Swedish scientistss that' smokiitg and! nonsmo'king twins have aboutihesame mortality rate:. So it: is rudeness, isi it not, that we are talking of outlawing byordinance, of' the City of Dallas. But'surely that is a chancy thing to do. Society, any soc:iety; already has au- tomatic safeguards against rudeness. Peer-group pressure, I suppose the: soci, oldgists wouldl c;all'u: Whenever the otr- dina,ry run of'folk ddcide: thatsuch and. such a form of' behavior ~is simply be- yond, the pale, they make known that fact to the practitioners of euch be- hiavior. What' is wrong, fbr instance, with asking, a man'l ih an elevator, if' be is wreathing his fellow passengers In smoke, kindly to put his cigar out; it: is bothering the ladies? The same with a diherat the next table: lfat atheatera one can't breathe: for alt the smoke his, neighbor is emitting, thenwhy,not'cali an usherR Of course this' may lead to sooial ructions, which ds perhaps what', :he antismoking lobby is trying to avoid by endeavoring to line up the police on their side. Even so; if societyas a whole should'. ever determine that smoking dnpublic places is obnoxious,• why, smokers would' so¢n get the messa•„e: lhey would know they risked'i social os,tra, eism, perchance a fatlip;by4efiantly puffing away: But: they risk at present no sl thing;, Far in fact, society' has by no means made up its mindthatsmoking, in public is a social offense. Had it done s'o, no one would today be asking the City of' Dallas to legislate such a con- sensus-and enforee the consensus with policemen, judges and: fines. We should try with,mi8htand main to:avoid legislating consensus; or; rath- er, to avoid:trying tadegislateone: For If'eity'councils, or legis•Iaturess or.

They said a study of some 1,900 hospital admissions for any reason during the first year of life showed' "the excess of bronchitis and'pneumonia in the group ex- posed to smoke increased with increasing number of cigarettes smoked'd by the mother." They concluded' that "the findings support the hypo- thesis that atmospheric pollution with tobacco smoke endangers the health of nonsmokers." RESEARCH U. OF TENN., researchers, supported'iwith ACS and'NIH'.f'unds, reported' results of exposure of'one-cellledicreatures in.a z• test tube to "residue" from "cigarettes" made with lettuce or Kentucky bluegrass. AMA said' in a news release that "they found that the adverse effect on the respiratory !system's defense mechanism was just as badlfor the non- f`,;i r=tobacco cigarets as from the genuine article." NEW YORK CITY'BOARD OF HEALTH votedl"iniprinci- ple" to adbpt a ban on smoking in supermarkets and elevators and to segregate smokers in indoor arenas, large restau- ants, classrooms and other places of public assembly, according to the New York, Times. The:board!is expected'to consider finali approval in June . NOIWShIOKER ISSUE A PROPOSED ORDINANCE to prohibit smoking in certain public places that has been delayed for some time is being recon- sidered by the Miramar (Calif.) city council after pleas by a Dr. David Kopenhaver, local volunteer for the Cancer Society. n A 5-2 VOTE, Houston city council banned smoking at home games of WZTH World Hockey Assn."s Houston Aeros. According to UPI„ the Aeros had asked the,city council for a ban. NEW YORK TIMES questioned'an Arizona editor and a policeman about the effectiveness of the state's antismoking l'aw., Said the former: "I haven't seen any noticeable change in people''s smok,ing."' The police official said, "There!'s been a couple of complaints, but as of this time nobody''s been hauled in." Meanwhile,, the state govt. completed action on,the bill to extend the current antismoking law,(,Newsletter, 95), Antismoker Betty Carnes told the Scottsdale Progress:. "Nezt year I hope with all my heart' that our ZegisZators: will'give us no smoking in grocery,stores; drug stores and department stores." MIAMD's Metro Commissioner Cain proposed an ordinance to ban smoking, in all fo:od stores.M'iam,i News said Cain wants to keep "ashes from cigars and cigarettes from winding up in the,meat that people take home."' Cain is responsible for instiltuti:ngiother local smoking bans now in effect.

-6r i HOLLYWOOD, Fla., city council voted' against a proposal too ban smoking in elevators and segregate smokers in restaurants. The city had aTready passed an ordinance prohibiting smoking in public places "as:being a fire hazard, injurious to the public health and offensive andiharmful to ailarge segment of the population," noted the Hollywood Sun Tattller. YAItIMA,HERALD,REPUBLLC opposed a pending Washington state ban on smokingi in public p aces, arguing that bad breath is invisible and thus more offensive than smoke. "SMOKERS are the most inconsiderate people on earth," wrote aiHartford Courant columnilst., ". ..Let us use every social force at our command to keep smokers from stinking up the public air." ANOTHER ANTISMOKING ACRONYM, "FANS" (Fresh Air For Non-smokers), poppedd up iniEssex County, Mass., (:Haverhill), and its:members are pushing bumper stickers and all the paraphernalia of a propaganda campaign. Haverhill Gazette reports that the organization is trying to get people to quit smoking and is lobbying for legislation for smoking bans andisegrega- tion:of' smokers in certain public places_ Prohibitive legislation had been introducedlin the Mass, legislature but it"s reportedly dead for the year. STATE OF NEW YORIQ'Cburt of Appeals upheld: New York City's power to require retailers to charge more for brands that have a higher "tar" and nicotine content. A retailer had appealed when he was fined $Mfor not doing so. TAXES ANDERSON, of the Tobacco Growers Information Cbmmittee, told the Burley Leaf Tobacco Dealers' annual meeting that if the current wave of smoking-ban legislation keeps every smoker from smoking just one cigarette a day,, losses to growers will be nearly $30 milli~on per year. ftOPLE AYERS, chief of medicine at St. Vincent Hospital in Wor- cester, Mass., told the American Lung Assn.'s annual meeting that if aiNationali Health Plan is enactedi,, cigarette smokers should,foot the bill for all medilcal expenses stemming from, smoking related diseases, "to the tune of $11.5 billlion,," said1UPI. STEINFELD, the former Surgeon General, told a Senate subcommittee U.S'_ medical care isn't functioning well because doctors are overspecializedd and the public is poor:ly educated. He recommended mandatory h,ealtti education inischools receiving federal support and mandatory healthh broadcasting as a condition of broadcast licenses. ~ JAPANESE Lt. Hiroo~Onoda, the World War II soldier who re- ~ cently emergedfrom some 30 years of hiding in,Philll'ipine ~ jungles, was found by physicians to be in perfect health. A New York Times story noted that "he hadlone habit of C11 W' modern life, smoking." Onoda reportedly stole cigarettes ("some of the best in the worlid are in the Phillipines," remarked'the reporter) from local, villiagers., C,J QD ;~'<

HEALTH OR'GANIZATIiONS THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT of all adult Americanss smoke and half of them want to quit, according, to news stories about aiGallup poll released by the American Cancer So- ciety. Of the smokers surveyed, 6% said they would be interested in participating in a stop-smoking clinic while 12%more registered a de- gree of interest. UPI quoted the Gallup report as saying that "the stop-smokiing clinics tended to be of greater interest to high school graduates,, those with middle and upper incomes and those agedlunder 50 than to other population segments." But the main thrust of the survey had to do wi.th public awareness and use of various cancer detectionn methods. The media ignored this., AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY announced it will pay for a 30- minute,, antismokingifilm, "Let's Call It Quiits." To be produced by Paramount, the picture will star Tom Bosley and Marion Ross of the TV series, "Happy Days.
