Non-smoker suffers

effects of smoke

Smoking has long been recognized as a hazard
to health, but evidence now suggests that even the
non-smoker suffers from thenarmful effect of
smoking, says the Texas State Department of
Health.
Since the firstSurgeon General’s first report
on the health consequences of smoking on
January U, 1964, evidence has continued to mount
up to the effects of smoking. That first report
created quite a sensation and received wide
coverage by the communication media. The
findings implicating cigarette smoking in cancer
and coronary and pulmonary illnesses were
voluminous.
This led to curtailments of cigarette
television advertisements and the printing of a
warning label on a cigarette packages which
states: “Warning: The Surgeon General Has
Determined That Cigarette Smoking Is
Dangerous To Your Health. ’ ’
Since 1963, the per capita consumption of
cigarettes by adults 18 and over had dropped
from 4,345 per year to just over 4,000 per year in
1972. And, reports a national authority, in the
past seven years more than 29,000,000 cigarette
smokers have given up smoking.
To mark that first Surgeon General’s report, a
National Education Week on Smoking is
conducted each January in the United States. The
1974 observance is January 11-17, and the theme
is: “Non-Smokers Have Rights, Too!’’
NEWS, as it is called, is sponsored by the
National Interagency Council on Smoking and
Health. The State Health Department is a
member of the Texas Council.
The smoking education week will center on
obtaining widespread recognition for a “Please
don’t smoke’’ symbol representing the rights of
the non-smoker and the introduction of a three-
point statement known as the “Non-Smoker’s
Bill of Rights”.
The document states: “Non-smokers can
protect the health, comfort and safety of
everyone by insisting on:
“1. the right to breathe clean air, free from
harmful and irritating tobacco smoke;
“2. the right to express their discomfort and
to object when smokers light up without asking
permission; and
“3. the right to act through legislative
channels or social pressures to restrict
smoking in public places. ”
During the special week in January, clubs,
organizations and medical groups will be asked
to endorse the “Non-Smoker’s Bill of Rights”
and to request members to refrain from smoking
during meetings —or to set aside separate
pwwig areas. Physicians, dentists and other
health professionals will be asked to restrict
smoking in their offices. Their influence also is
being sot^ht to persuade hospitals and other
health care facilities to limit smoking.
Cooperation also will be requested of business
and industry to limit smoking among employees.
And, state and local legislation will be sought to
restrict or separate smokers in public places
and conveyances.
For fkr too long, says the Interagency Council,
non-smokers have suffered in silence the
discomforts and threats to their health caused by
inconsiderate smokers. Non-smokers constitute
atwo-to-one majority in relation to smokers.
Breathing of contaminated air caused by
smokers can be extremely harmful to those
around them. The American Medical
Association estimates that at least 34 million
Americans are sensitive to cigarette smoke.
They may have respiratory conditions which are
made worse, often dangerously so, by tobacco
fumes.
A survey in Detroit homes concluded that
smokers’ children were sick more frequently
n»mn non-smokers’ children. One test made in
Germany showed that smoking of several
cigarettes in a closed room makes the
concentration of nicotine and dust particles so
high in just a short time that the non-smoker
tamales as much harmful tobacco as the smoker
inhales from four or five cigarettes.
from an idling cigarette contains
almost twice the tar and nicotine of an inhaled
cigarette and thus may be twice as toxic as
«mnt« inhaled by the smoker. Since pipe and
cigar smokers inhale less than cigarette
smokers, they contribute relatively unfiltered
smoke into the air.
While health authorities would like to see aU
smoker a quit for health reasons, they realize
this is an impractical goal. But during the weeks
ahead, and from this time forward, they hope to
convince as many smokers as possible to show
greater consideration for those who do not
smoke by restricting their habits in public
places.
