For Cigarettes
(Special to The News?Journal)
NEW YORK, Apr. 27 -
What has been the effect of the
anit ? smoking campaign on
cigarette smoking in Hoke
County? How much are local
people smoking these days
compared with those in other
areas?
Judging from the latest
regional figures on cigarette
sales, a growing number of
local residents have cut down
on their consumption. Many
have given up the habit
completely.
Organizations and
individuals who are active in
the crusade against smoking
believe that this decline, now
in its third year in most
sections of the country, is the
real thing.
This? is seen in nationwide
surveys made by the
Department of Agriculture, the
Tobacco Tax Council and
others on the rate of
consumption in the past year.
In Hoke County, according
to a breakdown of these
figures, an estimated 2,119,000
packs of cigarettes were
smoked in the year
Related to the local
population over age 18. this
was equivalent to 187 packs
per person.
In some parts of the
country, the rate of
consumption was considerably
greater than this and. in other
areas, smaller.
The national average, among
persons over 18, was 207
packs. In the South Atlantic it
was 197 packs.

Bryan and T.C. Chason and son
Tony attended the F.F.A.
Father and Son Banquet at the
Filgh School in Parkton Friday
night.
according to a recent
estimate by the National
Center for Health Statistics,
aoout 1,400,000 Americans
gave up cigarette smoking in a
period of one year.
It fee!s^as-? result, that the
situation is quite different than
it was in 1964, when cigarette
sales dropped for the first time
in many years following the
surgeon-general's report linking
smoking with lung cancer and
heart disease.
That drop was short-lived,
however. Within a few months
people were puffing away at
their usual rate and sales were
back to normal.
More recently, the public
has been taking to heart the
warnings from health officials
and has been making a serious
effort to cut down on its
consumption.
As to the cost of smoking,
approximately S9.7 billion was
spent for cigaretts in the
United States in the year.
Hoke County's share of the
bill was S57H,000, or about
S51 per smoker.
