REPORT ON RECENT ETS
AND IAQ DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE UNITED STATES
REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE
MATTERS
U. S. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
ADMINISTRATION (OSHA)
[1] Public Interest Group Requests Emergency
ETS Standard
In a letter dated February 5, 1993, the Public Citizen
Health Research Group petitioned OSHA to "immedi-
ately promulgate an Emergency Temporary Standard
to protect workers from [ETS] exposure." Citing the
EPA Risk Assessment on ETS, the letter states there is
now "widespread acceptance" that ezposureconstitutes
a significant health hazard. If OSHA does not issue an
emergency temporary standard, Public Citizen will
"seriously consider" legal action against the Depart-
ment of Labor, according to the letter.
The author of the letter was the research group's
director Sidney Wolfe. Public Citizen reportedly
petitioned OSHA in May 1987 for similar action. See
BNA Daily Labor Rcport, February 9,1993.
[2] ASH v. Dcpartment oflabor. Secretary of
Labor Asks Court to Dismiss Petition for
Review
On February 8,1993, Secretary of Labor Robert
Reich filed a motion to dismiss the petition for review
filed by ASH in December 1992 in the District of
Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals. See issue 39 of this
Report, January 22, 1993.
The Secretary challenges ASH's petition by asserting
that OSHA "has not made a final determination
concerning the regulation of ETS and continues
actively to consider the regulatory action sought by
ASH." The Secretary contends that because there is no
final agency action to review, the court lacks jurisdic-
tion in the matter.
In the memorandum supporting the motion to
dismiss, the Secretary refers to the 17,000 pages of
material received in response to OSHA's Request for
Information on indoor air, which is currently under
review, and to former Labor Secretary Lynn Martin's
directive to "commence rulemaking to address the
hazards of occupational exposure to secondhand
smoke," issued six days after the January 7 release of
the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS. Stt issue 39 of this
Report, January 22, 1993.
The memorandum notes that OSHA is preparing a
report on the regulatory options available for the new
Secretary of Labor and states that "Secretary Reich has
requested that the report be completed as expeditiously
as possible."
ASHv. Depan»rent ofLabor, No. 92-1661 (U.S. Court
ofAppeals, D.C. Circuit) (filed December 22, 1992).
[3] OSHA Reform Bill Expected to be Introduced
at Any Time
According to published press reports, proponents of
OSHA reform legislation are optimistic of passage in
the 103d Congress and expect a bill to be introduced
in mid- to late February. AFL-CIO representatives say
they will push for quick action on the measure.
The new bill may be very similar to the OSHA
Reform Act introduced in the 102d Congress. That bill
passed the labor committees in both chambers of
Congress but did not reach the floor of either the
House or Senate.
The Clinton administration reportedly agrees in
principle with OSHA reform legislation. See Daily
Labor Repor; February 11, 1993; BNA Washingmn
Insider, February 3, 1993.
Interagency Committee on Indoor Air Quality (CIAQ)
[4] CIAQ Members Discuss OSHA and EPA
Efforts Related to ETS at Most Recent Meeting
CIAQ members discussed the release of the EPA Risk
Assessment on ETS and OSHA's directive to com-

2
mence rulemaking on ETS at their quarterly meeting
on January 21, 1993.
Robert Axelrad, director of EPA's Indoor Air Divi-
sion, reportedly said at the meeting that EPA's post-
risk assessment plans include (i) releasing a brochure
and policy guide on ETS, (ii) arranging for outside
groups to help spread information about ETS, and (iii)
spreading information about ETS internationally.
Although the risk assessment apparently will not be
published in the Ftderal Register, a data summary will:
be entered into EPA's Integrated Risk Information
System (IRIS).
EPA officials also reported the following:
The Indoor Air Quality Clearinghouse received
1,900 calls the week the ETS risk assessment was
released and was continuing to receive more than
1,000 calls per week. In its first three months of
operation, the dearinghouse reportedly received
more than 5,000 inquiries, many of them dealing
with carpet emissions, and distributed more than
3,000 copies of the 1988 document entitled '°The
Inside Story, A Guide to Indoor Air Quality."
The agency has formed an inter-office Indoor Air
Cluster charged with developing an EPA wide
strategy for indoor air.
EPA staff expects federal indoor air legislation to be
reintroduced but are uncertain how the bill will
fare.
An OSHA deputy director, Frank Frodyma, report-
edly told the members that OSHA's staff had recom-
mended separating ETS from the Request for Informa-
tion on indoor air more than a month prior to former
Labor Secretary Lynn Martin's February 13 directive to
"commence rulemaking to address the hazards of
occupational exposure to secondhand smoke." See issue
39 of this Report, January 22, 1993. Frodyma added
that OSHA was still deciding whether to seek U.S.
Supreme Court review of the Eleventh Circuit opinion
vacating the agency's rule setting permissible exposure
limits on some 428 indoor air contaminants. See issue
35 of this Report, November 20, 1992.
CIAQ is an interagency committee co-chaired by
EPA and OSHA.
ETSLLAQREPORT, ISSUE 41
U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA)
[5] Bill Introduced to Streamline EPA Risk Reduc-
tion Procedures
A bill has been introduced in the Senate that would
coordinate the development and implementation of
environmental policies at EPA. S. I 10 was introduced
in January 1993 by New York Senator Patrick
Moynihan (D).
Among other things, the bill would establish "guide-
lines to ensure consistency and technical quality in risk
assessments.° The measure also would create a Com-
mittee on Relative Risks, which would rank the relative
risks of environmental problems, and a Committee on
Environmental Benefits, which would estimate the
quantitative benefits of reducing particular risks. Both
committees would be independent from the EPA
Science Advisory Board.
CONGRESS
[6] Companion PRO-KIDS Legislation is Intro-
duced in the House
On February 2, 1993, Representative Richard J.
Durbin (D-111.) introduced the companion bill to the
PRO-KIDS legislation that is currently pending before
the Senate (S. 261). Although listed in the Congra-
sional Rtcord as a companion to S. 261 only, the House
measure also incorporates the Senate's PRO-FEDS bill
(S. 262). For more information about the Senate bills,
see issue 40 of this Report, February 5, 1993.
Co-sponsored by 16 Congressmen, H.R 710, like its
Senate counterpart, would require federally-funded
programs for children under the age of 18 to prohibit
smoking in any portion of any indoor facility providing
services to children that is not separately ventilated.
The EPA would be authorized to promulgate guide-
lines for instituting the nonsmoking policy.
The House measure would require the imposition of
the same smoking policy in every building or other
structure owned or leased for use by a federal agency of
the executive, legislative and judicial branches. H.R.
710 also contains the PRO-FEDS sections requiring
the EPA Administrator to establish an "Environmental

FEBRUARY 19, 1993
Tobacco Smoke Advisory Office" with a director
within the Office of Radiation and Indoor Air.
The remarks made by Representative Durbin at the
time the bill was introduced made reference to the EPA
Risk Assessment on ETS. The bill has been referred to
the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
ASHRAE
[7] SSPC 62 Activities at ASHRAE's Winter
Meeting
ETS reportedly was discussed in a number of contexts
during the most recent general committee and subcom-
mittee meetings of Standing Standards Project Com-
mittee 62 (SSPC 62), which is charged with revising
ASHRAE Ventilation Standard 62-1989.
Some members of the Subcommittee on Source
Control and Air Cleaning, citing the EPA Risk Assess-
ment on ETS, suggested that the revised ASHRAE
ventilation standard should treat ETS as an additional
contaminant source requiring additional proteccion/
removal equipment. One member asserted that 15
cfm/person is adequate for occupants' physiological
needs and that ETS should be considered an "addi-
tional load." That would be a departure from existing
Standard 62-1989, which generally calls for uniform
prescribed ventilation rates without regard to whether
smoking is allowed.
Meanwhile, the Health and Comfort Subcommittee
discussed whether the revised ventilation standard
should deal specifically with ETS. The subcommittee
reportedly decided that the issue of ETS should be left
to EPA and OSHA.
A recurring topic for discussion was the extent to
which the ASHRAE ventilation standard should
address health issues. Although SSPC 62 Chair Gene
Tucker said he preferred a health-based standard, other
members of the committee said they felt a health-based
standard would be inappropriate and would unneces-
sarily lead to liability concerns for those involved in
designing and constructing buildings.
During the meeting of the general SSPC 62 commit-
tee, Ole Fanger of the Technical University of Den-
mark reported on a number of projects, including
human chamber studies he is conducting on ETS, an
3
ongoing attempt to identify pollution source strengths
in selected buildings in eight European countries, and
the development of the European Ventilation Guide-
lines. According to Fanger, the European guidelines
will include three levels of comfort: A. B and C. Fanger
compared these levels to automobiles ranging from a
Cadillac to a subcompact. Under the guidelines,
Fanger said, Europeans will be asked to decide on the
quality of IAQ for which they are willing to pay.

CA1.IFORNIA EPA
[8] Cal-EPA Issues Request for Information on ETS
On January 28, 1993, the California Environmental
Protection Agency issued a Request for Information on
ETS. A copy of the form letter used to make the
request is attached as Appendix B.
The letter says the information generated by the
request will be used by the agency's Office of Environ-
mental Health Hazard Assessment to evaluate the
alleged health effects of ETS. Although the scope of the
evaluation is not discussed, a specific request is made
for "information on ETS exposure and cancer, repro-
duaive/developmental toxicity, and cardiovascular and
respiratory effects."
Attached to the letter is a bibliography of literature
accumulated by Cal-EPA prior to issuing the request.
The subject headings for the bibliography are sudden
infant death syndrome, neuropshycological and
physical development in children, respiratory health
effects, otitis media, peri-natal effects, exposure
assessment, cancers, and animal experiments. The
publication dates for the literature in the bibliography
reportedly range from 1968 to early 1992.
The letter asks that information be submitted by
March 15, 1993.
[9] Amendments Proposed to Proposition 65
The required warning for ETS exposure would be
expanded to indude "birth defects" and "other repro-
ductive harm" under draft amendments to the Proposi-

4
tion 65 warning regulations released by Cal-EPA on
January 28, 1993.
The draft amendments would require the following
warning:
"WARNING: This facility permits smoking, and
tobacco smoke is known [to the State of California] to
cause cancer. Cenain componenu of tobacco smoke are
knoum [to the State of CaliforniaJ to cause birth defecas or
other reproductive harm."
The first sentence is identical to the existing warning.
The second sentence, which is shown above in italics, is
new. The language in brackets is optional.
A workshop will be held on the dtaft amendments on
February 25 in Sacramento. Written comments may be
submitted until March 1. If a decision is made to move
ahead with the amendments, the state must issue a
formal proposed regulation for public comment.
STATE AND LOCGIL GOVERNMENTS
[10] Privacy Legislation
The term "privacy legislation" refers to state statutes
which protect workers who smoke off the job or, more
generally, use legal products or engage in legal activities
outside the workplace.
Alaska
A bill that would prohibit employers from discriminating
against individuals who use legal products in a legal
manner outside the workplace was introduced on January
27,1993, and sent to the Senate Committee on Labor
and Commerce. On February 3,1993, the bill was
reported from the committee without recommendation.
See S.B. 69,18th Legislature - lst Reg. Sess. (1993). A
House version of the bill'was previously introduced on
January 15,1993.
Hawaii
A bill relating to fair employment practices provides that
employers cannot prohibit legal activities as a condition of
employment. The bill was introduced January 27,1993,
and sent to the Senate Committees on Education, Labor
and Employment, and Judidary. SerS.B. 1360,17th
Legislative Session -1st Reg. Sess. (1993).
North Dakota
A Senate bill was introduced on January 18, 1993, that
would revise state policy against discrimination regard-
ETSIrAQREPORT, ISSUE 41
ing participation in any lawful activity off an
employer's premises during nonworking hours and to
specify lawful activity which is not in direct conflict
with the essential interests of the employer. The bill
also limits the amount of damages to be awarded when
an action is brought for discrimination. On February 8,
1993, the Senate adopted an amendment as recom-
mended by the Senate Committee on Judiciary. See S.B.
2367, 53d Legislative Assembly - 1st Reg. Sess. (1993).
Washington
A Senate bill was introduced on January 27, 1993, that
prohibits employer discrimination for the consumption
of lawful products off premises by employees during
nonworking hours. It also allows employers to have
insurance policies in effect that make distinctions for
type of coverage based upon employees' consumption
of lawful products. The bill has been sent to the
Committee on Commerce and Labor. See S.B. 1365,
53d Legislature - Reg. Sess: (1993).
(11] ETS=Related State and Local Legislative Activities
* California
Smoking would be banned in state-owned or leased
property under, a bill introduced in the State Assembly
on February 2, 1993. Introduced by Assemblyperson
Jackie Speier (D-South San Francisco), the ban also
would repeal a law that allows state departments to
adopt their own smoking policies. The bill would not
preempt local laws that provide more stringent require-
ments. The bill was sent to the Committee on Con-
sumer Protection on February 11. SeeA.B. 291, Reg.
Sess. (1993-94).
According to a press report, Speier pointed to the EPA
Risk Assessment on ETS in support of the bill. Similar
bills introduced last session were reportedly voted
down in committee. See BNA California - Saf ty and
Health Report, February 15, 1993.
Hawaii
A bill that would require the Department of Human
Services to establish rules prohibiting smoking in
family child care homes was introduced in the House
on January 22, 1993. Under the measure, providers of
family child care homes would be able to designate
certain rooms in their homes where smoking is permit-
ted, provided the rooms are off-limits to the children
under their care. See H.B. 432, 17th Legislative Session
-1st Reg. Sess. (1993). A second bill, introduced in the

FEBRUARY 19,1993
Senate on January 22, 1993, would prohibit smoking
in all group child care homes, group child care centers,
and family child care homes during their hours of
operation. See S.B. 831, 17th Legislative Session - 1st
Reg. Sess. (1993). On January 22, 1993, a bill relating
to smoking in restaurants was introduced in the House
that would prohibit smoking in certainplace.c open to
the public. The measure was sent to the House Com-
mittees on Health, Economic Development and
Business Concerns, and Judiciary. Ste H.B. 601, 17th
Legislative Session -1st Reg. Sess. (1993).
A bill introduced on January 21, 1993, provides that
each employer in the state shall adopt, implement, and
maintain a written smoking policy containing a
provision that if any nonsmoking employee objects to
the employer about smoke in the employee's work-
place, the employer shall attempt to reach a reasonable
accommodation. See S.B. 256, 17th Legislative Session
- 1st Reg. Sess. (1993).
* Kentucky
According to a news report, Governor Brereton Jones
(D) signed an emergency regulation on January 27,
1993, that restricts smoking in state-owned buildings
and others occupied by state workers. The smoking
policy covers Kentucky's 35,000 permanent state
employees, as well as seasonal and temporary workers,
according to Bonnie Howell, executive director of
management and fiscal affairs. Howell reportedly said
that the policy is a response, in part, to the EPA Risk
Assessment on ETS, as well as theAmericans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). Kentucky apparently has had two
complaints under the ADA and Howell reportedly says,
"We really had no choice but to ban smoking where these
people work." She further daims more ADA ao: ommoda
tion requests relating to ETS seem likely.
The new policy seeks to accommodate the needs of
smokers and nonsmokers and, to the extent feasible,
provide a designated smoking area in each state
building. Agency heads will have the responsibility of
establishing smoking areas. Smoking will be allowed
only in marked areas in public portions of state
facilities. A private office may be designated as a
smoking area if ventilation devices designed to remove
smoke are installed and if smoking does not occur
when nonsmokers are present. See Government Em-
ployee Relations Report, February 1, 1993.

* Local Governments in Massachusetts
On February 8, 1993, Boston City Councilor Charles
Yancey reportedly says he will introduce an ordinance
that would require Boston businesses to have a smok-
ing policy respecting the rights of both smokers and
nonsmokers. If no common ground is found among
employees, the ordinance would ban smoking in the
workplace. The proposed ordinance would apparently
not affect restaurants, bars or at-home workplaces.
Yancey is quoted as saying that tobacco use is "`increas-
inglydangerous and life-threatening,'" citing the EPA
Risk Assessment on ETS. A similar ordinance failed in
1991, but Yancey says due to the ETS risk assessment,
there is increased support for the ordinance this time.
Massachusetts is reported to be the only state in New
England that does not have a law protecting nonsmok-
ers from ETS in the private sector. See The Boston
Globe, February 9, 1993.
* Minnesota
According to a newspaper article, the House Rules and
Legislative Committee passed a rule that would
immediately prohibit smoking in all public places of
thrState Office Building, including the cafeteria and
lounges. Smoking would be allowed in private offices
until May 31, 1993, at which time a total ban would
be instituted. The rule now goes to the full House,
where it is expected to pass.
The committee chairman, Representative Alan Welle
(DFL-Willmer), reportedly told the committee that it
didn't have much choice in the matter. "With the
Environmental ProtectionAgenry's recent ruling that
second-hand smoke can cause lung cancer in nonsmok-
ers, there might be the potential for lawsuits if the rule
isn't passed,'" he is quoted as saying.
Approximately 50 state workers and legislators had
apparently presented Welle with a petition calling for
the ban. The committee explored the possibility of
creating a smoking lounge with special ventilation
equipment, but it was reported to have been too expen-
sive. See Star Tribune (Minneapolis), February 14,1993.
New York
The Assembly has passed a bill that would apply
smoking prohibitions to transportation facilities used
by pupils regardless of their presence or absence on
such facilities. The bill has been sent to the Senate
Committee on Education. SeeA.B. 727, 215th General
Assembly - 1st Reg. Sess. (1993).

6
Oklahoma
A House bill that would prohibit smoking in licensed
nursing homes and day care centers was introduced on
February 3, 1993, and was sent to the House Commit-
tee on Transportation. The bill provides for penalties
of (i) a fine for first offense and (ii) imprisonment in
the county jail for not more than 30 days, a fine, or
both, for subsequent offenses. See H.B. 1015, 44th
Ltgislature - 1st Reg. Sess. (1993).
Tennessee
Companion bills that would prohibit smoking in
elementary and secondary school buildings were
introduced in the House and Senate on February 1,
1993. See H.B. 125 and S.B. 205, 98th General
Assembly - 1st Reg. Sess. (1993).
Utah
A Senate bill that would require businesses with smoking
areas to provide information regarding the alleged health
hazards of ETS to employees cxposodto ETS passed the
Senate and was sent to the House on February 9, 1993.
See S.B. 67, 50th Legislature -GeneralSess. (1993). On
January 25, 1993, a bill was introduced to prohibit
smoking in public schools or facilities or on property on
which those facilities are located. It also provides for
designated smoking areas for adults during nonschool
hours in private schools. Sea H.B: 136, 50th Legislature -
General Session (1993).
* Virginia
Two bills were introduced and sent to the House
Committee on General Laws on January 28, 1993.
One bill would revise provisions of the Virginia Indoor
Clean Air Act by prohibiting smoking in any public
place or public area, authorizing localities to exceed the
standards in the act, allowing proprietors to designate
smoke-free buildings, and requiring placement of any
smoking areas in such a way that the smoke will not be
vented or recirculated into nonsmoking areas.
The second bill would require employers to furnish a
workplace "free from recognized hazards that are
causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical
harm to his employees, including, but not limited to
environmental tobacco smoke as listed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency." See H.B. 2431 and
H.B. 2393, Reg. Sess. (1992-93).
Wyoming
A bill that would ban smoking in state- owned or leased
buildings open to the public was introduced on January
ETS/IAQREPORT, ISSUE 41
14, 1993. The bill would establish a fine for noncompli-
ance and grant the Capitol Building Commission
rulemaking authority on this issue. The bill was reported
from the Senate Committee on Labor and Federal
Rdations with amendment on January25, 1993. Sce S.B.
92, 52d Legislative Session - Gen. Sess. (1993).
[12] IAQRdated State and Local Legislative Activities
Massachusetts
Two new bills were introduced on January 6, 1993,
pertaining to ventilation standards. The first provides
minimum ventilation standards in state leased and
newly constructed state buildings. See H.B. 772, 178th
General Court - Reg. Sess. (1993). The second would
require public buildings to meet certain air quality
ventilation standards. Both were sent to the Joint
Committee on State Administration. SeaH.B. 773,
178th General Court - Reg. Sess. (1993). A third bill,
also introduced on January 6, 1993, would establish an
interagency coordinating council to address responsi-
bility for public health and consumer protection
concerning indoor air pollution and other threats. The
bill was sent to the Joint Committee on Natural
Resources and Agriculture. See H.B. 939, 178th
General Court - Reg. Sess (1993).
ETS-RELATED LITIGATION AGAINST
CIGARETTE MANUFACTURERS
[13] Blancha>'i Argument on Motions is Set for
March 3
On February 5,1993, ddendants L,iggett and RJ.
Reynolds filed a renewed motion to transfer venue along
with a motion to strike plaintiffs' first amended com-
plaint. Similar motions were filed on February 8 by the
wholacaler/distributor defendants. The court has sched-
uled argument on the motions for April 30,1993.
A eourtrscheduled status conferenee is still set for Matrh
3; counsel for the parties are to meet on March 2.
The original plaintiffs in this case, Raye Blanchard
and Tamara Reed, are mother and daughter. They
allege primary-smoking injuries to Raye Blanchard's
late husband, Thomas, who allegedly smoked for more
than 50 years, and Raye Blanchard herself, who claims
she smoked "for about ten years." In addition, Raye

FEBRUARY 19, 1993
Blanchard and Tamara Reed both claim damages for
unspecified "illness and disease" allegedly resulting
from exposure to the ETS from cigarettes smoked by
Thomas and Raye Blanchard. Twelve plaintiffs have
been added to the case through supplemental and
amended petitions. All of the additional plaintiffs'
claims appear to relate to active smoking, with one
exception. Plaintiff Pamela Kastrin Stephens claims
unspecified "lung and respiratory diseases" allegedly
caused by exposure to the ETS from the cigarettes
smoked by her deceased father. The named defendants
are purported to be the six major U.S. cigarette
manufacturers, The Tobacco Institute, the Council for
Tobacco Research, and a number ofwholesalets and
retailers. Blanchard, et at v. R.J. Rtynolds Tobacco
Company, et at (District Court, Galveston County,

[ 14] Broin: Defendants are Granted Extension to File
Brief
The Court ofAppeal has granted defendants' request
for an extension of time within which to respond to
plaintiffs' appeal brief on dismissal of the class action
allegations. The reply brief in opposition is now due on
March 8, 1993.
With respect to defendants' petition for certiorari
relating to plaintiffs' attempt to depose top company
executives, plaintiffs were granted another extension
within which to file their response to the petition. The
response is now due on February 19.
At issue in this case are the claims of 30 flight attendants
allegedly injured by occupational exposure to ETS. The
injuries allegod by the putative class representatives include
lung cancer, breast cancer and unspecified respiratory
ailments. The defendants are purported to be the six
major U.S. cigarette manufacnuas (plus related entities),
United States Tobacco Co., Dosal Tobacco Corp., the
Council for Tobacco Research, The Tobacco Institute,
and three other trade associations. Brioin, et al v. Phidip

[15] * Butler. Plaintiff Serves Deposition Notices on
Wholesalers
On February 4, 1993, plaintifffs served notices to take
corporate-representative depositions on four non-
7
tobacco manufacturer defendants. The depositions are
currently scheduled for March 25 and 26, 1993. Each
defendant is to produce the corporate officer with the
most knowledge of, among other things, the EPA Risk
Assessment on ETS. On February 5, defendant Brown
& Williamson noticed the depositions of three insur-
ance company agents. The depositionsare scheduled
for March 9.
Counsel for plaintifTs, Roe Frazer, was interviewed
recently for an article in the Li7al1 Street JournaL The
artide, which focused on the impact of the EPA Risk
Assessment on ETS, quoted Frazer as saying, "'I think
the EPA report is definitely going to have a major
impact upon our lawsuit' because the companies will
find it harder to argue that the evidence on passive
smoking is inconclusive." See Wall StrettJournA
January 7, 1993.
In this case, Burl Butler alleges that he has lung
cancer and other injuries caused by exposure to ETS in
the barber shop he has owned and operated for ap-
proximately 30 years. His wife, Dean, daims loss of
consortium and emotional distress. The defendants are
the six major U.S. cigarette manufacturers and four
tobacco wholesalers. Butler v. RJ. Reynold+ Tobacco
Co., ct 4 (U.S. District Court, Southern District,
Mississippi) (filed October 21, 1992).
[ 16] Har, jrG PlaintifEs Claims are Dismissed
On January 19, 1993, the court granted plaintiff
Joseph Harju's motion to dismiss without prejudice.
Harju had filed the motion in August 1992.
In dismissing the action, the court did not discuss the
merits of Harju's motion; instead, the order addressed
only a motion to dismiss under Rule 11 which had
been filed by defendant McLane Sunwest.
The court denied McLane Sunwest's motion to
dismiss, stating there was no evidence Harju's claims
were duplicitous or that suit was brought "merely to
harass the defendants. Conduct forming the basis of
the charge of harassment must do more than bother,
annoy or vex the complaining party."
In the case, plaintiff claims his health was damaged'as
a result of ETS exposure while incarcerated in the
Arizona State Prison. His claims are based on negli-
gence and strict liability. Harju is due to be released

8
from prison in 1997. McLane Sunwest was apparently
the only tobacco-related defendant ever served in the
action, although several other tobacco companies,
wholesalers and distributors had been named. Harju v.
State ofArizona (U.S. District Court, Phoenix, Ari-
zona) (filed June 4, 1992).
LEGAL ISSUES AND DEVELOPMENTS
[ 17] Workers' Comp Experts Predict Increase in
ETS Claims
According to an insurance journal article, workers'
compensation experts around the country are reportedly
predicting that the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS will
"provide some impetus for aggressive workers' compensa-
tion lawyers to file more daims." Industries in which
employees are regularly exposed to ETS are likely to be
fertile ground for such daims, the experts say.
The National Restaurant Association is reportedly
seeking a legal opinion from outside counsel regarding
the impact of ETS on workers' compensation claims,
and the president of the American Correctional Health
Services Association in Honolulu expects that prison
guards will file more ETS-related daims.
Legal and economics experts observe, however, that
there are many reasons why such daims will be re-
jected, including the requirement in many states'
compensation laws that the exposure be "particularly
related to the workplace.° Where such daims are
rejected, some attorneys predict that the door will be
opened to common law tort litigation against employ-
ers. See Business Insurance, February 8, 1993.
[ 18] "Smokers' Rights Legislation: Should the State
'Butt Out' of the Workplace?" T.W. Sculco
(Student Author), 33 Boston College L Rev.
879 (1992)
'Smokers' rights laws° may be appropriate to protect
smoking employees, but they should not be used to
protect job applicants, the author of this artide claims.
"Unlike an employee, an applicant who smokes has not
taken any steps in reliance on his or her ability to smoke."
ETS/IAQ REPORT, ISSUE 41
Contending that existing smokers' rights laws are
"unfair" to employers, the author proposes a model
statute that applies to employees but not applicants.
Under the model statute, he asserts, "[eJmployers
would be able to take into account the health and
economic costs of smoking in their hiring decisions,
and employees who were permitted to smoke when
hired would be protected against unfair employment
discrimination."
[ 19] * Lobbyist Threatens ADA Lawsuit Against
Legislature
A lobbyist for an animal rights group reportedly told
state legislators in Connecticut that she may file a
lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act if
they do not ban smoking at the State Capitol and
Legislative Office Building.
The lobbyist, who allegedly suffers from asthma,
daims that the smoke-filled corridors of the legislative
complex effectively block her access to the halls of
government. Her attorney, Representative Robert Farr
(D-West Hartford), has reportedly filed legislation to
ban smoking in public buildings and is representing
the lobbyist who is one of his constituents, for free.
According to press reports, the legislative manage-
ment committee has referred the request to a subcom-
mittee for further study. See The Harrford Courant,
February 5, 1993.
In a related story, Richard Daynard, head of the
Tobacco Products Liability Project, predicts that the
Americans with Disabilities Act will provide a structure
for legal action against restaurants that permit smok-
ing. According to Daynard, the law should protect
those with asthma and heart or pulmonary conditions
who are purportedly being denied access to public
places where smoking is permitted. His remarks were
quoted in an article about Massachusetts restaurants
that are considering adopting smoking bans following
the release of the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS. The
article concludes by publishing the telephone numbers
of organizations that can provide a list of the restau-
rants in Massachusetts that are smoke free. See The

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
[25] EPA Risk Assessment on ETS Expected to
Impact Employer Smoking Policies
Employers around the country are reportedly mthink
ing their workplace smoking policies in light of the EPA
Risk Assessment on ETS. Although many companies
restrict smoking to designated rooms or private offices,
the lack of separate ventilation, according to the EPA,
may be inadequate to protect workers.

10
Spokespersons for Hewitt Associates in Illinois, A.
Foster Higgins & Co. in New York, Raytheon Corp.
in Massachusetts, Southern California Edison Co. in
California, Belz Enterprises in Tennessee, and Dow
Chemical Co. are evidently relying upon the EPA risk
assessment to either increase smoking restrictions in
their own facilities or advise their clients to do so.
Some companies are even taking steps to prohibit
smoking out of doors. The most successful strategies
for implementing new policies, these spokespersons
observe, involve effective communications with
employees and advance notice of changes. See Business
Insurance, February 8, 1993.
[26] Life Insurance Firm Offers Discount to
Smoke-Free Workplaces
Reliance Standard Life of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
is reportedly offering discounts on group term life
insurance rates for all new policyholders who have a
100 percent smoke-free workplace. According to a
Reliance Standard spokesperson, the EPA Risk Assess-
ment on ETS suggests that a change to a smoke-free
workplace can improve employees' health significantly.
Reliance Life expects "mortality will improve by six
percent or seven percent, conservatively." To qualify
for the discount employers will have to provide a letter
verifying the existence of the smoke-free workplace and
a copy of the smoking policy, if written. This insurance
policy is evidently available in 49 states and the Distria
of Columbia. See Life erHealth, February 1, 1993.
[27] Nation's Resrzurateurs Face New Concerns in
Wake of EPA Risk Assessment on ETS
A trade publication for restaurant owners recently
published an anide and commentary which discuss the
ramifications of the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS with
respect to the restaurant industry. Some restaurateurs
reportedly are predicting "rebellion" among nonsmok
ing servers who may refuse to serve smoking customers
and possible demands among patrons for walled-in
smoking sections with separate ventilation.
According to general counsel for the Texas Restaurant
Association, the EPA risk assessment is likely to fuel
demands for more restrictive laws which may eventu-
ally lead to a nationwide ban on smoking in all public
places. He also noted that the risk assessment may
increase smoking-related liability lawsuits against
ETS/IAQ REPORT, ISSUE 41
restaurateurs. Hikes in insurance premiums are also
regarded as potential fallout from the risk assessment.
Various predictions are being made as well about what
impact smoking bans will have upon consumers'
dining out habits.
The commentary concludes by warning defensive
restaurateurs "to rethink strategies for dealing with
customer and employee health concerns related to
secondhand smoke. And with liability risks and
awareness levels rising rapidly, we urge operators to
tackle this volatile issue before it tackles you." See
Nation's Restaurant Nerus Ntwspaper, January 25, 1993.
[28] California Restaurant Chain Implements
Smoking Ban
Citing the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS and con-
cerns about employee and customer health, the
president of Norms Restaurants, based primarily in Los
Angeles and Orange Counties, announced on February
8, 1993, that smoking will be prohibited in each of its
16 locations, effective immediately. The restaurants,
which are open 24 hours a day, evidently expect a
temporary drop in sales based upon experience with a
nonsmoking faciliry in Bellflower. Long term profits,
however, are not expected to suffer. Company head-
quarters, where smoking is permitted in executive

exempt from the policy. See Business MrA February 8,

[29] Restaurant Chain Claims Smoking Ban Has Not
Harmed Business
In July 1991, California Pizza Kitchen adopted a
smoking ban in all of its 27 company operated stores.
According to co-chair and co-founder Larry Flax, the
policy has not harmed normal sales growth since that
time. The Los Angeles-based pizza and pasta chain
reportedly operates restaurants in cities throughout the
United States and is the only national restaurant chain
that enforces a smoking ban, even on its patios. See PR

[30] Nonsmokers Rights Group Presses for Smoke-
free Nightdubs
Americans for Non-smokers' Rights is reportedly

to go smoke free. The movement has apparently gained
the support of such musicians as Boyz II Men, En Vogue,
Linda Ronstadt, John Lee Hooker, Richard Marx, Bobby
McFerrin and Tuck & Patti. According to press reports,
McFen:in, Tuck & Patti and the Roches, within the past
four months, have requested that their shows be smoke
free. Ste USr4 Today, February 4,1993.
[31] Restaurant Guide Prepared in Response to
EPA Risk Assessment on ETS
Public health experts have reportedly published a
guide to the 175 restaurants in San Francisco that do
not permit smoking. The guide, which is available free
of charge, was evidently released in response to the
EPA Risk Assessment on ETS. See The San Francisco
Chronicle, February 3, 1993.
[32] ASH Issues National Survey on Smoking and
Health
Earlier this month, ASH distributed to those on its
mailing list a two-page "National Survey on Smoking &
Health."
The first two questions in the survey relate to ETS. They
ask what action, if any, the government should take with
respect to smoking policies in (i) public places and (ii)
private workplaces. Four answer choices are provided: Ban
all smoking; permit smoking only in separate sections;
only enforce decisions made by owners; or do nothing.
The other questions in the survey ask whether the
government should spend more money on "antismoking
education," whether the government should discontinue
tobacco subsidies, whether the United States should ban
tobacco advertising, and whether the government should
require smokers to pay more for health insurance.
The cover letter accompanying the survey advocates the
use of"citiun-supported legal action" to "guarantee every
nonsmoker the right to breathe air unpolluted by tobacco
smoke in all public places, induding the workplace."
Recipients of the letter are asked to return the completed
survey along with a monetary contribution.
[33] High School Students Close Teachers'
Smoking Lounge
At Wantagh High School in New York, two students
responded to the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS by
11
launching a campaign to close the teachers' smoking
lounge located across the hall from their afternoon~
calculus dass. By a vote of 88-20, school employees
agreed to dose the lounge after the students waged an
information and lobbying campaign. The matter may
be subject to collective bargaining, however, and the
employees' union maintains that a ban must be
negotiated. New York City schools and several districts
on Long Island are reportedly smoke-free, but it is
believed that this is the first time where the impetus to
adopt such a policy came from students. See Nrwsday,
February 13, 1993.
[34] West Virginia Poll
According to a newspaper article, a West Virginia poll
indicates that 72 percent of residents favor setting aside
smoking areas in hotels, motels, the workplace, and
restaurants. West Virginians' attitudes apparently
dosely parallel national trends revealed in a December
1991 Gallup poll. That survey found 66 percent to 70
percent of people nationwide favor designated smoking
areas in public. The poll was conducted by telephone
interviews between January 11 and 14, 1993, the week
following release of the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS.
It was conducted by a polling company for the Charla-
ton Daily Mai4 WSAZ Television 3 and Assacsated Fras,
using a random sample of 409 West Virginia residents.

MEDIA COVERAGE
[35] "Q and A," Real Estate Desk, The New York
Times, February 7, 1993
A co-op shareholder wrote to The Times asking if she
has any right to a smoke-free home. Evidently, fellow
shareholders smoke heavily, and the odor of fresh and
stale smoke allegedly permeates her home. She said she
was writing out of concern for her health.
The answer provided was that the only way she could
force fellow tenants not to smoke would be if she could
prove that "the smoke is so odious that it violates the
legal tenet known as the warrant of habitability."
Although "environmental problems" such as excessive
noise are generally prohibited by co-op by-laws and
documents, the chairman of the Council of New York

12
Cooperatives, who was consulted for the response,
observed that there have been no known instances of
any co-op board taking action to restrict owners from
smoking in their own apartments.
[36] "Something New to Chew Over in the Oval
Office," R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., The Waahington
Times, February 7, 1993
In this commentary, the author disputes the findings
of the EPA Risk Assessment on ETS, calling it "shoddy
science," and discusses the Clintons' decision to ban
smoking in the White House. The author states that
consistency will require that produce sprayed with
pesticides, dectric appliances emitting electromagnetic
fields, and chlorinated water be banned as some studies
indicate they pose greater health risks than exposure to
ETS. When the Washington press corps sought to dispute
daims that the Clintons do not smoke by producing
photographs depicting President Bill Clinton on his
campaign plane with a cigar, the President's press secretary
said he doesn't smoke cigars, he dtews on them. Accord-
ing to this commentator, our "youthful president" has
devised a method of "safe smoking."
[37] Perfume Ban Sparks Controversy in San Franctisco
With comparisons to the controversy over smoking
bans and ETS, attention has been given in the media
recently regarding the efforts of San Francisco's mayor
and chief administrative officer to make public meet-
ings accessible to those who allege they have chemical
sensitivities. In November 1992, a memo was report-
edly circulated to San Francisco department heads
stating, "In order to allow individuals with environ-
mental illness or multiple chemical sensitivity to attend
the meeting or hearing, individuals are requested to
refrain from wearing perfiime or scented products."
Proscribed products indude hair mousse, body lotion
and clothes that have recently been to the dry cleaners.
The cosmetics industry has reportedly been unable to
convince the mayor to change the ban, and a similar
ban is now being considered in Marin County. On a
statewide level, a group that lobbies on behalf of people
with alleged chemical sensitivities has apparently asked
libraries and schools to subscribe only to "fragrance free
publications." Critics and commentators warn that
deodorant and soap may be next on the "political

The government has reportedly introduced a tobacco
bill that would restrict workplace smoking in nurseries,
schools and hospitals. Smoking in these establishments
would only be permitted in designated smoking rooms.
Restaurants would also be subject to the restrictions;
those with more than 50 seats would be required to
designate nonsmoking areas. Hotels and similar
establishments would reportedly be required to offer
nonsmoking rooms. In addition, smoking in public
service vehides would be prohibited. Smoking com-
partments, however, would be permitted on trains. See

[44] Stockholm Politicians Consider Restaurant
Smoking Ban
Several members of the Stockholm county council have
reportedly suggested that Stockholm's restaurants should

basis. See Sr,rnka Dag6ladet, February 1, 1993.
UNTTED KINGDOM
[45] Workplace Smoking Control Bill Introduced
On February 2, 1993, Labour's George Foulkes
introduced the "Health and Safety at Work (Tobacco
Smoking) Act 1993," in the House of Commons. A
copy of the bill is attached as Appendix C.
The Act prohibits smoking in enclosed work areas but
allows employers to set aside designated smoking areas
if they so choose. The Act also provides that an
employee shall be deemed unfairly dismissed if such
employee is principally fired for refusing to work in a
smoking area, or if the employee voluntarily leaves
berause the employer fails to provide a smoke-free area.
The Secretary of State is charged with, among other
things, making regulations: (i) specifying the term
"designated" area; (ii) defining which areas will be
exempted; and (iii) requiring consultation with em-
ployees before deciding which areas are designated.
According to press reports, the bill is apparently unlikely
to prooad further becau.se of pressures on the parliamen-
tary timetable, although MP Foulkes has reportedly
challenged the government to allow time for its passage.
See Pren Arroriation Neuaf 'tle, Febniary 2, 1993.
[46) Smoking Ban Imposed in Health Care Facilities
Beginning March 1, 1993, all hospitals, health
centers, clinics and offices controlled by the Argyll and
Clyde Health Board will reportedly ban smoking.
According to a Board spokesperson, contracrs of
employment could be terminated if staff members fail
to comply with the new policy. Segregated smoking
areas are reportedly being recommended. See Glasgow

AUSTRALIA
[48] Experts Warn of Legal Action Against Smoking
Parents
Family law specialists are reportedly predicting that
parents who fail to provide their children with a smoke
free environment in the home may face restraining orders,
particularly in child custody cases where the allegedly-
affected child has a brondhial'~problem and there is
medical evidence to relate the problem to ETS exposure.
Stephen Woodward, executive director of ASH, believes
that a pre-existing illness should not be necessary as "the
mere risk of lung cancer is sufficient for parents not to
smoke around kids." According to Woodward, several
individuals in Melbourne have sought his advice on the
issue. See Herald-Surn, January 26, 1993.

Rothmans of Pall Mall Ltd., WD & HO Wills Ltd.,
and Philip Morris Limited have reportedly filed a
ETS/IAQ REPORT, ISSUE 41
submission with the Legal Services Board regarding the
funding of possible tobacco litigation in New Zealand.
The submission refers to newspaper articles which
indicate that ASH is actively seeking plaintiffs with
ETS daims to bring lawsuits against the tobacco
industry. Although the submission emphasizes the
failure of smokers who have brought lawsuits around
the world, its arguments regarding the problems for
plaintiffs in terms of expense and proving causation,
and the many legal defenses that are available to the
tobacco companies, are equally applicable to ETS
claims. A similar submission was made on behalf of the
tobacco companies in Australia. See issue 40 of this

[51] Settlement in ETS Case Provokes Widespread
Interest
The settlement of the Veronica Bland case, which
involved a daim of injury from ETS exposure, see issue
40 of this Report, February 5, 1993, has been widely
publicized in the media and appears to be spurring
interest in further litigation and regulatory activities.
One newspaper article observes that ASH is consider-
ing supporting legal actions against about 20 different
employers who allegedly fail to provide facilities that
separate smokers from nonsmokers. The cases report-
edly include an office deaner for a Liverpool tobacco
company, a bank clerk, and a health authority em-
ployee. According to ASH, the most likely "victims"
are bar staff, waiters and workers in small offices. See
The Guardian, January 28, 1993.
There are several additional items in this Report in
which reference is made to the Veronica Bland case.
They include discrimination against smokers by the
Royal Liverpool University Hospital; a Teletext survey
of viewers on workplace smoking bans; predictions
about funher similar legal actions; and a commentary
on antismoking fervor.

[57) Shopping Centre to Introduce Smoking Ban
Brookside Shopping Centre in Brisbane will report-
odly be the first in the area to introduce a total smok
ing ban. The ban will cover shoppers as well as the
1,500 employees at the centre's 107 stores. The ban
will go into effect on March 31, 1993, and smoking
shelters will be provided outdoors for workers to smoke
during their breaks. The policy is reportedly being
adopted following successful legal challenges by
individuals allegedly claiming injury from ETS expo-
sure. Other cenues in the area have no immediate

16
plans to follow Brookside's lead. See North West News,
January 20, 1993.
In a related story, the manager of the Tweed City
Shopping Centre is calling for Tweed City and the
Gold Coast to adopt smoking bans in shopping
centres. He is apparently pushing for shopping centre
owners to impose smoke-free policies in concert and
praises the owner of the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre
which has announced that smoking bans will be phased
in at its 17 properties during the next 12 months. The
chairman of the Australian Council of Shopping
Centres is reportedly predicting that all centres will be
smoke free within a year. Liability issues are apparently
foremost among the concerns of shopping centre
owners. See Goldcoastrr, January 16, 1993.
Westfield's 22 shopping centres are also reportedly
considering adopting smoking bans. Apparently, centre
owners fear litigation in the wake of the U.S. EPA Risk
Assessment on ETS. See Northern News, January 21,

[60] EC Finances Siclt Building Syndrome Project
The WaU Strret Journal reports that the EC will be
largely financing a $1.9 million project to study IAQ
in office buildings. The project's goal is reportedly to
"defeat Sick Building Syndrome." A 29-year-old Dutch
scientist, Dr. Philomena M. Bluyssen, willt apparently
be the project coordinator.
Bluyssen is said to be a "bit of a star in the arcane
world of Indoor Air Quality." She reportedly uses
"sophisticated snifl'utg" methods to track down causes
of IAQ problems and her "services as a sniffing sleuth
are in demand:"
The EC project, dubbed the "IAQAudit," will
involve training panels of people to snifl'scientificrally
and rate the perceived IAQ inside buildings. Each
panel will sniff six buildings in each of nine countries.
Bluyssen plans to write an IAQ handbook using the
data once the project has been completed.
A Yale University environmental health professory
interviewed for the article, was critical of Bluyssen's
methods stating, "There is no dear way to verify whether
trained sniffers produce valid results." He said that nasal
judgments should be combined with other types of
testing. Sa Wall StrertJourna4 February 8,1993.

planning to extend the restrictions to 376 other
stations where smoking is now permitted during
certain hours.

pollution in the home." The booklet also discusses
carbon monoxide, radon, asbestos, dust, mold, lead
and other toxic substances. The advice given to
homeowners with regard to ETS is to not smoke at
home, particularly in the presence of children. Ventila-
tion is also recommended, but the booklet concludes
that "ventilation alone does not adequately safeguard
against exposure to environmental tobacco smoke."
[65] Government Funded Project Launches
Antismoking Initiatives
The West Yorkshire Smoking and Health project has
reportedly been launched to introduce more smoke-

free areas in the region. The project, funded by the
government, will make dean-air awards to pubs and
restaurants, will encourage employers to recognize the
rights of their nonsmoking employees, and will stress
the alleged dangers to nonsmokers from ETS exposure.
According to health coordinator Pat Hodgson, some
local organizations take the issue seriously, but much
more needs to be done to protect nonsmokers. A
smoking ban was reportedly introduced on Keighley

UNITED KINGDOM
[75] * Flnancial 7imu Articles Report Smoking Ban
Regulations in U.S. are Imminent
In two articles discussing the alleged health effects of
ETS exposure, it was reported that federal regulations

FEBRUARY 19, 1993
will soon be issued in the U.S. as a result of the EPA
Risk Assessment on ETS that will "make it mandatory
for companies with more than 10 employees to
prohibit smoking" in the workplace. According to one
of these artides, U.K. employers may join the move to
ban smoking in the workplace, although the Confed-
eration of British Industry is reportedly adamant that
this should be a matter for individual employers to
decide. See Financid Times, January 27 & 28, 1993.
[7b] "Passive Smoking Dangers?," Yatelry e~rDistrict
Courier, January 20, 1993
This artide summarizes the materials being reprinted
by the smokers' rights group FOREST which indicate
that the studies showing a risk to health from ETS
exposure are based upon `bias and shoddy research."
The article highlights the fact that the criticism of the
ETS studies appeared in an independent report
published by Consumrrs'Raearc{z
[77) "Health Fascists Try to Stub Me Out," J. di
Giovanni, Suuday T:mei; January 31, 1993
In this article, the author observes that the "fervent
anti-smoking lobby in America has taken on Orwellian
dimensions and it is quickly spreading around the
world." She describes a recent visit to the United States
where she was generally reviled for smoking in public
and subjected to extensivc smoking restrictions.
The Veronica Bland case is discussed, as is the
workplace smoking bill that was introduced in parlia-
ment by Labour MP George Foulkes. The author
asserts that anti-smoking activities are taking place
throughout the world even though, in her opinion, the
medical evidence regarding ETS exposure is
unsubstantial.

(21] "Passive Smoking and Tobacco Chewing
Among Alaska Children: Measuring Saliva
Cotinine," R.A. Etzel, D.B. ]ones, C.M. Schlife,
J.R. Lyke, F.W. Spierto, and J.P. Middaugh,
Journal ofSmoking-Related Disordirs 3(2):
161-165, 1992
"Our study objective was to document passive
smoking and the use of smokeless tobacco among
young children in rural'Alaska by measuring saliva
cotinine concentrations.-
'The study population lived in the Yukon-
Kuskokwim delta of western Alaska. The subjects of
this study were 106 children, three to six years of age,
who were attending Head Start programmes in two
rural Alaskan communities.-
'The following five questions about tobacco use were
asked:
1) How many people in the household where the child
lives smoke cigarettes?
2) About how many packs of cigarettes are smoked a
day by all the people in the house where the child
lives?
3) About how many hours a day does this child spend
indoors in a place where people are smoking?
4) Does this child chew tobacco?
5) About how many times a day does this child chew
tobacco?"
'Cotinine was detected in the saliva of 17 (57%) of
the 30 children in this study whose parents reported
that the children had been exposed to tobacco smoke.
Thirteen (38%) children without reported exposure to
tobacco smoke had detectable cotinine, biochemical
evidence of exposure."
A-1
"Most of the children in this study had concentra-
tions of cotinine less than 10 ng/mL, comparable with
those found in other surveys of passive smokers.
Although passive smokers usually have cotinine
concentrations below 5 ng/mL, heavy passive exposure
can result in levels of more than 10 ng/mL The
highest cotinine concentrations previously reported in
passively-exposed children were 25 ng/mL and 30 ng/
mL We found it remarkable that three children in this
study had concentrations over 100 ng/mL (108.6, 175,
and 264 ng/mL). Such high concentrations are incom-
patible with passive exposure to tobacco smoke only.
There are comparable with cotinine concentrations
found in adult users of chewing tobacco, who have an
average saliva cotinine concentration of 255 ng/mL ...
Thus, we condude that Native Alaskan children's own
use of chewing tobacco probably contributed to these
high concentrations."
`The 13 reportedly unexposed children who had
detectable cotinine in their saliva could have been
exposed to tobacco products within the previous few
days without the parents reporting the exposure or
perhaps even being aware of it. Likewise, the 13
reportedly exposed children who had no detectable
cotinine may have been cared for by non-smokers
during the previous few days."
`Both passive smoking and the use of smokeless
tobacco are dangerous for young children: This study
shows that 44% of 3 to 6-year old children in two rural
Alaskan villages have cotinine concentrations consistent
with passive smoking, while approximately 3% of them
had cotinine concentrations comparable to those of
cigarette smokers and users of smokeless tobacco."

Aged and Diluted Sidestream Smoke from a
Reference Cigarette," C.RE. Coggins, P.H.
Ayres, A.T. Mosberg, J.W. Sagartz, and A.W.
Hayes, Inhalatron Toxicology 5: 77-96, 1993
"Male ... rats were exposed 6 hr/day; 5 days/week for
up to 18 weeks to aged and diluted sidestream smoke
(ADSS), used as a surrogate for environmental tobacco
smoke (ETS), at concentrations of 0.1 ("typical"), I
("extreme"), or 10 ("exaggerated") mg of particulates/
m3. ... Animals were exposed nose-only, inside whole-
body chambers, to ADSS from the 1 R4F reference
cigarette. End points included histopathology, CO

.A-2
oximetry, plasma nicotine and cotinine, dinical
pathology, and organ and body weights. The target
particulate concentrations were achieved; at the
exaggerated exposure they resulted in CO concentra-
tions in excess of 50 ppm.... The only pathological
response observed was slight to mild epithelial
hyperplasia in the rostral nasal cavity, in the exagger-
ated exposure group only. No effects were noted at low
(typical of measured real-world ETS concentrations) or
extreme exposures. The changes were similar in
animals killed after 4, 28, or 90 days, and'were also
similar to those noted in an earlier experiment with
only 14 days duration, indicating that the change does
not progress with increased exposure duration from 4
to 90 days. The nasal change was absent in a subgroup
of animals kept without further smoke exposure for an
additional 90 days, indicating complete reversibility.
Overall, the end points used in the study demonstrated
that (1) there was no detectable biological activity of
ADSS at typical or even l0-fold ETS concentrations,
and (2) the activity was only minimal at exaggerated
concentrations in one region of one organ only."

Aircraft," Dj. Eatough, F.M. Caka, J. Crawford,
S. Braithwaite, LD. Hansen, and E.A. Lewis,
Atmospheric Environment 26A(12): 2211-2218,
1992
`There has been an increased interest in determining
exposure to ETS in commercial aircraft by quantifying the
concentrations of pollutants assoaated with ETS, deter-
mining the factors which control the concentrations of
ETS present in nonsmoking sections of passenger cabins
and devdoping models for predicting ezposure."
"We have measured a variety of compounds associ-
ated with ETS as well as several non-unique species
(Such as PM2.5 and CO) in both smoking and non-
smoking sections of aircraft cabins. The spectrum of
species and aircraft sampled is intended to provide a
database for the development of models for the predic-
tion of ETS concentrations in aircraft cabins under a
variety of conditions. This paper presents the results
obtained from a series of DC-10 flights."
"The concentration of most environmental tobacco
smoke constituents in the smoking section of an aircraft
cabin can be calculated from the frequency of smoking
during a flight, the size of the smoking section and
ETS/IAQ REPORT, ISSUE 41
ventilation rate. The concentration of nicotine will tend to
be overestimated in this calculation due to selective loss of
nicotine to cabin surfaccs. The concentration of some
constituents (ag. PM2.5 and CO) may be underestimated
in the calculation due to contributions of non-ETS
sources to these species. CO and NO=, as well as ozone,
may be introduced to the aircraft cabin from the inlet air.
The rate of penetration of environmental tobacco smoke
constituents from the smoking section into the nonsmok-
ing section follows a first-onier rate law. The rate of
penetration was constant for the various DC-10 aircraft
flown in this study. The expected rate of decrease in the
concentration ofvarious constituents with distance into
the nonsmoking section can be altered by selective
removal of compounds by cabin surfaces (e.g. nicotine) or
by the presence of non-ETS sources of some species in the
nonsmoking section (e.g. CO, PM2.5 or NO). Addi-
tional data are needed to determine what variables control
the 6rst-0rder penetration of environmental tobacco
smoke constituents from the smoking to the nonsmoking
sections of a variety of aircraft. The model developed in
this paper has been suecessfiilly applied to other data sets.
Manuscripts describing this extension of the concepts
presented here are being prepared for publication."

Centers in the United States," D.E. Nelson, J.J.
Sacks, and D.G. Addis, Pcdiatricx 91(2): 460-
463, 1993
"To our knowledge, the smoking policies and levels
of exposure of children to ETS in day-care centers are
unknown. We reviewed laws regulating smoking in
day-care centers and analyzed data from a national
sample of licensed child day-care centers to estimate
potential ETS exposure among the estimated 3.94
million children 55 years of age regularly cared for in
licensed or accredited centers."
"The authors analyzed data from a national survey of
2003 directors of licensed child day-care centers to
determine employee smoking policies, measure compli-
ance with state and local employee smoking regulations
for child day-care centers and state dean indoor air
laws, and to estimate the extent of exposure to environ-
mental tobacco smoke in these settings. Forty states
regulated employee smoking in child day-care centers,

FEBRUARY 19,1993
but only three states required day-care centers to be
smoke-free indoors. More than 99% of licensed child day-
care centers had employee smoking policies that complied
with the appropriate state or local smoking regulations.
Nearly 55% of centers were smoke-free indoors and
outdoors, and 26% were smoke-ftte indoors only."
"Most states have regulations limiting smoking in child
cay-care centers, but few require smoke-free policies. We
found that nearly all licensed child day-care centers had
policies that restricted employee smoking while at work,
and the majority of these policies required facilities to be
either totally smoke-free or smoke-free indoors. Smaller
centers, centers located in the West or South, and inde-
pendently owned centers were most likely to have srrin-
gent employee smoking policies. Most centers had written
smoking policies and were willing to hire smokers. Nearly
alT centers had employee smoking policies that complied
with state or local regulations, although 11 states had no
such regulations for licensed child day-care centers."
"More than 18% of children attended licensed day-
care centers with policies restricting employee smoking
to certain times or places. A policy that allows employ-
ees to smoke in rooms when children are not present
does not adequately protect children from ETS because
it takes several hours for ETS to be cleared from an
indoor environment. A policy that allows employees to
smoke in rooms in which children are prohibited is
also unlikely to protect children from ETS. Unless
these rooms have a separate air circulation system
venting directly to the outdoors (the cost of such a
system is prohibitive), ETS will be circulated to all
rooms in the buildings. Projecting our results nation-
ally (based on 19.1% of the estimated 3.94 million
children <_5 years of age who attend licensed or accred-
ited day-care centers without smoke-free policies), an
estimated 752000 young children are at risk for ETS
exposure in these settings."
"Although only Alaska, Arkansas, and Minnesota
have laws or regulations stipulating that day-care
centers be smoke-free indoors, our data suggest that
dean indoor air laws and smoking regulations may be
associated with more stringent employee smoking
policies in day-care centers. If so, the implication is
that state or local regulation of employee smoking in
day-care centers would effectively reduce the risk of
ETS exposure to children in day-care centers."
A-3
"There are limitations to our study. Our results may
not be applicable to family day-care homes, which are
often unregulated, and therefore may be less likely to
have or enforce smoke-free policies. The large number
of local clean indoor air laws made it impractical to
determine center compliance with these laws....
Another limitation is that actual employee smoking
practices may differ from reported smoking practices
and smoking policies.... Finally, no environmental
measurements of ETS exposure were conducted."
"Because expoaure to ETS has such serious health
consequences for children and there is no known safe level
of exposure, parents and pediatricians should insist that
day-care centers in their communities be at least smoke-
free indoors and, preferably, totally smoke-firee."

[54] "The Heart: A Target Organ for Cigarette
Smoking," A. Leone, Journal of Smoking-Related
Disordas 3(3): 197-201, 1992
"The purpose of this report is to discuss briefly our
previous studies and to prove that cigarette smoking
damages the heart."
"We studied 19 non-smoking male volunteers. These
consisted of nine healthy subjects and 10 patients with
previous myocardial infarccion. The volunteers under-
went exercise stress testing twice; once in a smoke-free
environment and once in a smoking environment
(carbon monoxide concentration 30-35 ppm)."
"In each studied subject we measured the peak of
exercise (Watts), time for recovery to pre-exercise heart
rate (min) and plasma (%) and expired carbon monox-
ide concentrations (ppm).... Each subject acted as his
own control. No healthy volunteer developed chest
pain during stress testing, but we stopped the exercise
stress testing of four volunteers with a previous myo-
cardial infarction in the smoking environment because
of warning ventricular arrhythmias."

A-4
"In summary, we reached the following conclusion.
Acute exposure to passive smoking impaired cardiac
performance of both survivors of infarction and healthy
volunteers. Survivors showed a significant reduction of
the peak of exercise, prolonged time to recovery to pre-
exercise plasma carbon monoxide concentration and
ventricular arrhythmias in a smoking environment.
Healthy people showed prolonged time to recovery to pre-
exercise heart rate in the same environment. Therefore,
both groups showed impaired'caniiac perfomiance in a
smoking environment, although with different results."
"Cigarette smoking has to be considered a potential
hazard of daily life. Smoke inhalation, either active
(such as smoking a cigarette) or passive (such as
breathing indoor smoke), can cause a severe impair-
ment of cardiac function. The results we discuss in the
present overview justify such a statement."

Months of Life of Infants from Smoking and
Non-smoking Families," A. Hakansson and C.
Petersson, Britishjournal of General hractice 42:
362-365, 1992
"The aim of this study was to determine the overall
consumption of drugs - particularly antibiotics - in
a geographically well defined infant population, from
birth up to the routine 18-month check up at the child
health clinic. A further aim was to study the association
between drug consumption and various social variables,
especially the association between 'passive smoking'
and the use of antibiotics. In addition, the reliability of
the interview method compared with review of medical
records was investigated."
"The study population comprised 240 infants, of
whom 90 were from families where tobacco was
smoked by one or both parents and 150 were from
non-smoking families. The investigation was carried
out retrospectively by interviewing the mothers at the
routine 18-month check up at the child health clinic,
combined with study of the medical records at the
district health centre, and at the paediatric and ear,
nose and throat departments of the nearby hospital."
ETS/IAQ REPORT, ISSUE 41
"[S]ignificantly more infants had been given antibiotics
(or other antibacterial agents) in smoking families than in
non-smoking families. Infants in smoking families were
also given significantly more nose drops and dimethicone/
dicydomine hydrochloride, than infants in non-smoking
families. ...[I]nfants from smoking families had been
more affected by respiratory tract infections requiring
antibiotics than had infants from non-smoking families in
all age groups except the oldest."
"At the 18-month check up [in this study], about two
thirds of all infants in Teleborg had been given an
antibiotic (or other antibacterial agent) on at least one
occasion. The Tierp study [published elsewhere]
produced rather lower figures - at the age of two
years, 569~'0 of Tierp children had received antibiotics
on at least one occasion; at the age of one year, the
corresponding figure was 33%."
"The overall drug consumption of the infants in this
study would appear to be relatively high. This tendency
to treat even very young infants with medication in
cases of sudden illness has been demonstrated in a
Swedish study of parent-reported drug consumption."
"As regards the association between parents' smoking
habits and infant morbidity, particularly respiratory
tract infection, the study has demonstrated that infants
from smoking families are more often given antibiotics
than infants from non-smoking families. The impres-
sion that the difference is a real one is strengthened by
the higher incidence of respiratory tract infections
requiring antibiotic treatment among infants from
smoking families in all the three month age groups except
the oldest during the first 18 months of the infants' life
and by the fact that the cumulative difference between the
groups tended to increase as the infants' age increased."

Congenital heart disease was more prevalent among

alcohol consumption during the first trimester of
pregnancy appeared to double the risk of atrial septal
defect (OR = 1.9, CI" = 1.1-34). Maternal exposure
to chemicals at work during the first trimester was
more prevalent among the ASD-group (40.0%) than
the control group (26.2%). The risk of ASD was not
associated with maternal smoking, or coffee, tea or
acetosalicylic acid consumption."
"Maternal ecposure to video display terminals, micro-
wave ovens, organic solvents, anesthetic gases, pesticides or
wood preservatives during the first trimester of pregnancy
were not associated with the risk of an atrial septal defect.
It is conduded'thac some common physicat and chemical
exposuntx during early pregnancy should not necessarily
be considered risk factors for atrial septal defect." I"Expo-
sure to passive smoking'° was also investigated. For
