EPA confirms second-hand
smoke could cause cancer
By Allison Taylor
Staff Writer
In a Jan. 7 press conference, the En
vironmental Protection Agency released
a report confirming that environmen
tal-tobacco smoke, or second-hand
smoke, is a human carcinogen.
Though the EPA report did not
specify a risk level for second-hand
smoke, it classified environmental-to
bacco smoke as a Class A carcinogen.
Dave Ryan of the EPA said that such a
substance includes “the most stringent
carcinogens,” including arsenic and as
bestos.
The EPA report announced support

for “a causal association between lung
cancer and environmental-tobacco
smoke.” The report also reported links
between second-hand smoke and respi
ratory diseases in children.
“Current smokers comprise approxi
mately 26 percent of the adult U.S.
population, and consume more than one
half trillion cigarettes annually,” the
EPA reported, “causing nearly univer
sal exposure to some levels of ETS.”
Ryan said the EPA report made no
recommendations for reducing the ef
fects of environmental-tobacco smoke.
The EPA report was only an evaluation
of the risks involved, he said. Ryan
added the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration and the Depart
ment of Health and Human Services
would make recommendations for pre
ventive measures.
Bill Grigg, Deputy Assistant of
Health Communications at the Public
Health Service, a branch of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Ser
vices, said, “the Centers for Disease
Control in Atlanta is launching an infor
mation campaign to encourage people
to stand up for their rights as non-smok
ers.”
The Public Health Service, of which
the Centers for Disease Control is a
branch, is encouraging a letter-writing
campaign to decrease the number of
public places that permit smoking.
Grigg said, “It’s been recommended
by us that (smoking) be banned in all
federal buildings, but right now it is
only banned in health-related buildings.”
Lisa Poovey Greene, Director of
Communication and Public Issues at
the American Cancer Society of North
Carolina, said, “Lung cancer is the num
ber one cause of cancer deaths in North
Carolina... we would like to see smok
ing banned in all public places.”

British Parliament prohibits press
from extensive royal clan coverage
The Associated Press
LONDON—With yet another cir
cus of royal revelation and innuendo
setting a noisy background, the gov
ernment on Thursday proposed heavy
fines to restrain newspapers from
snooping into private lives.
Some of the most titillating recent
press reports about the royal family
have resulted from taped phone con
versations and photographs that would
be outlawed by the new legislation.
The new legislation would ban pho
tography or sound recording on pri
vate property without an individual’s
consent and would outlaw the bugging
of conversations on private property,
the national heritage secretary, Peter
Brooke, told the House of Commons.
But the law would apply only to
actions taken “with a view to publica
tion” in effect, to journalists only.
CAA
living in UNC residence halls would be
able to stay in a dorm during the week
end of the Duke-UNC game.
“The plan we have is that we would
arrange a time and a methodology for
those students that have a Duke ticket to
go to a residence hall’s desk and sign up
indicating they want to stay,” Kuncl
said.
“You have to have a ticket to the
game because we will not be accommo
dating anyone who does not have a
ticket.”
Kuncl added that students wishing to
stay in residence halls would be charged
S2O for the two-night stay.
“If we had a sufficient number of
students, then we would look at what
hall we would leave open because obvi
ously we couldn’t leave all 27 buildings
open,” he said. “We would have to work

Brooke said die proposed laws were
intended “to make sure that the home of
everyone is in fact their castle, in which
they can be secure and that they should
not be interfered with.”
Newspapers strongly protested the
proposals, which were recommended
by Sir David Calcutt, a lawyer appointed
to review the performance of the
industry’s voluntary Press Complaints
Commission.
“We will fight vigorously any at
tempt by the government to introduce
criminal laws which would apply solely
to journalists and any further moves to
restrict open justice,” said Dugal Nisbet-
Smitb, director ofThe Newspaper Soci
ety, representing 1,300 newspapers.
Calcutt proposed the new laws be
enforced by maximum fines equivalent
to 1 percent of a publication's net an
nual revenue, or a maximum of $7,700
out a staffing plan in order to accommo
date those people.”
Kuncl said students would be al
lowed to check into their rooms Friday,
March 5, and would be required to leave
after the game ended Sunday.
Kirincich said the proposed plan was
significant because it would allow Tar
Heel fans to attend the game and cheer
on the team.
“This is really important because we
need support from students during UNC
basketball games, especially the Duke
game,” she said.
Melvyn Rinfret, general manager of
Granville Towers, said the off-campus
dormitory also would accommodate its
residents needing to stay in town for the
game.
Kuncl said that although a plan has
not been finalized, definite information
for individuals.
Brooke said the government wanted
to hear more debate on Calcutt’s pro
posal that the commission be replaced
with a government panel, headed by a
judge, who would enforce a code of
ethics.
The Sun, Britain’s brash and big
gest-selling newspaper, issued a state
ment Thursday saying the legislation
“is about stopping us from printing the
truth about the high and mighty.”
Brooke, however, told the House of
Commons that private individuals had
written “in large numbers” to Calcutt
to complain about press treatment.
Ann Clywd, speaking for the oppo
sition Labor Party, said she had been
dismayed by the behavior of some
newspapers and welcomed privacy leg
islation. But she rejected a govern
ment tribunal.
