THE TOBACCO |NSTFTLTTE - t~75 ! STREET. Tobacco,: $57.6, Billion, To American, Economy Becmasc of the U. S. tobacco indus- try.. 2.052.000 An~ricans were em- ployed [a.st year. earning 529.9 billion. The tobacco industry, its products and related producl~ and services, con- tributed $57.6 billion to the nation's economy in 1979. neady 2.4 percent of America's gross national pFoduct. -- --These ~preliminary-figures~a'e~in ~a study, to be released next month, of the contribution made by the tobacco dustry to national and stare economies. The work was done by the Applied Research Center at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. It indicates that 2.5 percent of the nation's private sector employment ~excluding g~vernment jobs) is attrib- utable to tobacco. The study determined that 196,000 farms in ...2 states were engaged in bacco production last year. Tobacco touches more than 505,000 people working on these fan'as. Tobacco contributed $14.3 billion in federal taxes and 57.7 billion in state and local taxes. This represents 2.9 percent of the total taxes collected in 1979.

More than 23.700 people work in that state in jobs directly related to to- bacco, its distribution and sales, and the support industries which supply the manufacturing sector. There is no tobacco manufacturing or farming in the state. Some 177,600 more people work in California because of the indirect, or ripple, effect of the tobacco industry. Thus, 201.30~ people in that state are paid more than $3 billion because of tobacco. The Wharton study is the second sur- vey of direct and indirect economic contributions of this industry. The first, released last year. focused on 1977 statistics. The Applied Research Center worked in conjunction with Wharton Econometric Forecasting Associates in developing the study. Chicago Police Indicted In Smoker Beating Death Three Chicago police officers have been indicted for murder for allel~ly beating to dea~ a man.who refused to quit smoking a cigarette on an L train. Richard Ramey, 52. died only hours after the alleged beating. "'His legs were broken. This he d~dn't get by falling." the Cook County med- ical examiner told a news conference. "He had bruJscs all over his body. There was a small fracture in his neck. He was beaten and it was severely. He was really The state's attorney called the case "lhe most blatant use of excessive force I have ever seen." The medical examiner ruled the death, from cardiac arrcst, a homicide. He said Ramey did have a high level of alcohol in his blood. The officers chafed with murder were part of the city's mass transit unit. They were w~'ing civilian ciothes when they apprmched Ramcy, asking him to put out his cigarette. "A black man smoking on an L train ....Within hours, the black nma is dead. 'q'hat scenario . . . has ugly over- tones, echoes of an ugly p~st." said Chicago's WBBM-TV, in an editorial.

Oregon Anti-Smokers Fail; Votes Seen In Calif., Dade Oregon and-smokers failed to obtain enough signatur~ on petitions to place a memure to restrict public smokingon the eloetion b~liot, Oregon's Sccreu~y of S~a~e. Nomua Paulus, said that the anti-smokers sub- mined petitions confining 50~46 valid signatures: 54.669 were needed. Votes raight occur, however, this year in one state and one county where the electorate previously had r~iccted anti-smoking initiatives. California g~oups collected enough signatures to place on the November ballot a proposal to reqalre no-smoking and smoking sections in all enclosed public places, including places of cmploymcm. The pn~ac~al is a rewritten version of a measure voters defeated in 1978. tf this proposition, number 10 of 10 on the b~liot, p~sses, it becomes law. "We're su'on#y opposed to this," said Tobacco Institmc ,Senior Vice President Jack D. Kelly. "People don't need unnecessary government intru- sion."

Government 'Truths' Was the emperor without clothes? Emp,~or Joseph Califano Jr.. once the g~vemment's anti-smoking standard- bearer, made many accusations against tobacco. We thought many were outrageous.. The Tobacco Observer consistendy tdcd to obtain backup material from the government documenting Califano's claims. Certainly a public figure should avoid rantini about tobacco (or anything) without adequate supporting evidence. Appammly Califano didn't need his "facts" confirmed. In a major policy speech in 1978 announcing his anti-smoking effort. Califano said that "in a major urban area on the west coast. I out of 20 children 11 yem-s of -- -- -ag_e3s smoking,Just_one_year older, at age 12. this figure skyrockets to I out orS." The Tobacco Observer is concerned about t~moking, lrbas always~empha- sized the industry's viewpoint tha~ smoking is a custom appropriately limited to adults. It asked tot documentation of these teen statistics. -We have no dam to support this;" admitted a government official at the then Department of Health. Education. and Welfare after two years of Observer efforts to obtain the information, Nor are there supporting dam for anoiher Califano claim. In a speech in the summer [979 to the Fourth World Conference on Smoking and Health. Califano said "'Our su~eys reveal, .. that teenaSers choose the most widely advertised cigarette brands at rates up to three times that ofaduk smokers." "We have not been able to substantiate those quotations from a speech by for- mcr Sccreta~ Califano." subsequently wrote an HEW official to "The Observer. "To my knowledge." she said. "'such data have not been prepared to date. and the exact source of the Secretary's statement is not known." The media, of course, do not quiz ibe government in this way. They grabbed what Califano said, used it in headlines, and went on to the next press conferc.nce. These two examples should.be a sm3ng warning that w~at the government says about smoking is not always what its fa~ts say. The Observer should not be the only one of the emperor's subjcct~ to see through his new cloth¢~. Smokers: No Rights! On a scale of 10. we're going to give James J. Lightsey of the Civil Aeronautics Board a 9 for plain talk and a 0 for tact and c~nmon sense. Lightsey is in charge of"community a~d Consresskmal relations" for the five- member federal board. Read what he said recently to The Atlanta Journal: "'Smokers have no Hght to a smoking seat, and we would not give themon¢ even with an advance reservation, and no maimr what time they board, Under our rules they have no right to .smoke at all.'" Some of the folks in Washinston. D. C.. running our lives are elected. Voters can and do dispose of them occasionally. Others. like Lightsey, are appointed. We're stuck with them. Pity.

Snadley wasn't always the healthiest man in the whole wide workl. When he was young. Snadley smoked what he wanted, drank what he wanted, and txerclstd only as a young Lothario. He thought be was happy. "'Life is absolutely peachy," he .was fond of saying, *'Nothing beats being alive." Then along came the Surgeon General's report linking smoking to emphysema. Snadley read about the g~at tob=~o scare with a frown. "Life is so peachy thai there's no use taking any risks." he said. So he gave up smoking. Like most people who went thmegh the problem of giving up smoking. Snad~y bemtme more interested in his own health. In fact, he became fas. clna~d.
