The resolution urged the Congress of the United States to enact restrictive. ;lrgi'slation, against the tobacco indust'ry. . , . . . ., . ,., ,,,.. , . - . . . . i • i`Fquestioned vhether this wae sppropriate in view of the f6.et that the AFHA had'3offaedi .~resolntion prejudged the outcome of the Surgeon General*s eommdttee study.

Apother council member expressed the opinion that the pending resolution vould, to support the proposed resolution. create a policy precedent under whffchithe APHA would be committed to the regulationn of advertising in connection with a specific type of health problem. Shortly before the vote, another speaker indicated there was insufficient research evidence have recognized that excessive cigarette smoking,is an important cause of lung cancer. Attention has alsoi been called to the fact that coronary artery disease and cancer of the mouth,, throat and esophagus occur more frequently in cigarette smokers than in non-smokers and that smoking appears to interfere rrs.th the,healing of gastric and duodenal u3cers. Studies show that school chiildrEn are influenced by the smoking,hablts of their parents, that smoking often begins inielementary school age children, and the smoking habit is difficult to eradicate once it is established.
