Calling passive smoke a G.roup_ A_carcinogen means the EPA believes second hand smoke is as dangerous as-substances like, radon and asbestos. The pressure to baniall smoking where adults work and children play and learn now will be great.. FRAN DU MELLE (AMERICAN LUhTG' ASSOCIATIONi) : There will be a lot of pressure to regulate the sites where children spend time, especially day care, pre-schools and schools. STRAIT: Are you concerned that maybe the federal government won't move fast enough and' that you'll have to depend upon the states to move quicker in establishing these kinds of regulations? DiJ MELLE: The states have been more creative in moving on these regulations. STRAIT: Already 44 states have some laws restricting smoking im public places. An agreement to ban smoking on all international airplane flights will take affect in three years.
