_ Thinking DfKickin The AmerieaiyJ_iipg ai Mof^Carolina. =ecently released a "Smoking and Health Statement" and a report of a new self-help smoking cessation program devised b> the American Lung Association called the Board of Directors of the American Lung Association of North Carolina at its fall meeting on October 22, 1980. An announcement containing the "Smoking and Health Statement" and the self-help program, called "Freedom From Smoking" was released January 19, 1981. The statement affirms the fact that the association recognizes that "the evidence is overwhelming that cigarette smoking is a serious health hazard and that it is an important cause of pulmonary diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, and repeated lung infections." The statement continues: "The effects of smoking can begin very early since one cigarette speeds the heartbeat, increases blood pressure, slows down or stops cilia action, and causes a drop in the skin temperature in the limbs." "Harm that results from smoking is not confined to the smoker, "The.report adds. "Babies of mothers who .-smoke during pregnancy are more likely to be born undersized and subiect to dvine in mHv infanr? c V ??'V health of children in a home where the parents smoke can be jeopardized by increasing the risk of more frequent bronchitis infections and by triggering attacks of ashtma in susceptible children." Further, "No one is immune to the effects of smoking. Cigarette smoking aggravates the effects of other risk factors in the environment. For example, workers in asbestos industries, in textile industries, and other industries who smoke have a much greater likelihood of developing lung diseases than those who do not smoke." Clifton Graves of the above loom ominously as potential "Irans", unless there is a serious overhauling of present U.S. foreign policy. Unfortunately with the election of Reagan, and the < selection of A1 Haig as Secretary of State, the "overhauling" that is so desperately needed appears to be misdirected. For racist rhetoric (i.e. calling the Iranians "barbarians") will not do. Neither will padding the defense hudoet nor pon<?oino on ,an?i aavrft avilVglllg VII VIB V IV^di O^I VVlIltll I with Iran ...

' - that a woman r^ot smoke during pregnancy/' - that at the least, parenls not smoke in homes when children are there. - that at the least, non-smoking areas be provided in enclosed public facilities such as restaurants, hospitals, clinics and o4her health institutions; in lounges, bars, waiting rooms, government buildings and public facilities. - that workers, particularly in high-risk industries, be encouraged to stop smoking. - that, because of the economic importance to North Carolina and other states of the tobacco industry, encouragement and support be given to tobacco farmers to /til//>rrir>/ intrt ? r: * ~ L wiTviaii j hhu utnci pi Ul IlilOlC crops. ~ The "Freedom From Smoking" Program is a self-help program outlined in two component manuals which is designed to help people who want to quit smoking on their own. It was developed after four years of Christmas Seals supported research and it contains positive suggestions for kicking the habit in 20 days and suggestions for helping the smoker abstain for life. Individuals wishing to kick the habit should contact the regional office of the American Lung Association of North Carolina (723-3395) and order the manuals. They are available for a $5 donation. From Page 4 Iranian experience "will give rise to a new national self-understanding and a new conduct...one that will not put the people of the USA in constant opposition to popular struggles for freedom in so many parts of the world...". Thus, America can choose to heed or ignore the lesson of Iran. Ignoring it would destroy any chance this country has. to gain credibility with the rising nations of the third world; heeding it, on the other hand, could H il ^ - - anow tne u.5. to begin shedding its tarnished image as "international hypocrit". As Paul Robeson once said, "we must elect to fight for freedom or for slavery". If future "Irans" are to be averted, America would do well to start fighting on the side of freedom. uncil s Goal jmn that their offices hope to open the week of January 26, after being closed for approximately 1 month7~ The Winston-Salem Littie Theatre will be sponsoring 14 An Evening to Remember" on February 5.
