THE CHOWAN HERALD
Letter To
The Editor
“NO SMOKING” the
inanimate but unfriendly
sign glares down at the
customer. They come in
assorted sizes and colors,
some with soothing
modifiers but they all
convey the same message:
“You are not welcome if you
light up in this place of
business.”
“So what?” some would
say, “those signs are to
protect property, mer
chandise and maybe to.
please those who don’t
smoke.” That’s right. In a
lot of cases prohitition of
smoking is in the best in
terest of smoker and non
smoker; a service station
for instance. But what of the
sign recently erected in a
store that has never had one
before? It could be
legitimate but it may very
well be held against the wall
by pressure from the anti
smoking groups.
It should be clearly un
derstood that North
Carolina is held together by
that green tobacco plant
that turns to gold both
literally and figuratively.
That same gold returns to
green-green-backs, when it
finds its way into the
merchants cash register.
And in many areas of the
state that merchant
wouldn’t be there were it not
for tobacco.
I’ve noticed some no
smoking signs in some most
unusual places. They are
displayed in some of leading .
colleges and universities.'
But it is these very hallowed
halls that are built upon a
foundation of tobacco.
Railing against leaf are
some folks who base their
arguments on statistical data -
but cannot tell us what, why,
or how cigarette properties
allegedly cause disease. Yet
the medical schools of this
state are largely the off
spring of the golden weed.
It has always been my
belief that one should pause
for at least a moment’s
thought before robbing the
bank that finances one.
North Carolina tobacco
farmers, industry,
wholesalers, retailers and .
the N.C. Department of
Agriculture have no desire
to create or promote illness
or suffering for the sake of a
dollar. But we are not
talking about just profits for
a few; we are addressing
the guts of the state’s
economy. If that is
destroyed, how much illness
and suffering will result?
As I write this I fully
realize tobacco is not food.
Still it is sold in retail outlets
and adds a considerable
amount to the annual profit
statement. On the producer
end, the small farms of
North Carolina could not
exist without tobacco and
out of business, they could
not produce food on the
acreage not alloted to
tobacco. In between,
manufacturing of tobacco
products provides jobs and
money to thousands who
have to buy food.
My suggestion to
proprietors who operate
public {daces of business,
such as retail outlets, is to
provide plenty of ash trays
and adequate ventilation.
Just remember when you
see that customer light up,
you are selling what he is
lighting and the guy that
produced or manufactured
that aromatic leaf will
spending part of his wage
with you.
I have a sign in my office
that says: “Thank You For
Smoking.” To me that is
much more conducive to
consumer spending than
that other unfriendly,
glaring thing.
Jim Graham
N.C. Commissioner of
Agriculture
