Non smoker pleads for consideration syndrome some appear to Benefit from the pharma comogic effects of nicotine with More a Norm be Teri have become increasingly indignant about Imok ing within military facilities Here in Europe. 1 was hopeful in june 1986 when the department of defense issued a directive sharply limiting authorized smoking area thai we would see Lille or no Tome improvement in the regulation of this. Health Hazard he taken place the policy ii widely an blatantly ignored. Some smokers invoke Ike stale old Issue of smok in rights but Only think of their half of thai concept. Smokers should have rights but they should not forge that All rights carry � responsibility. The responsibility in this instance is to not impose one s habits on inno cent unwilling bystanders. In Short the smoker s rights end where my nose begins. There Are of course two sides to this Issue. Let stint examine the need and concern of the non smoker. What effect docs cigarette smoke have on those inthe Vicinity it has an amazing Affinity for clothing hair and skin. I find it necessary to change clothing and to Shower after being around heavy concentrations of smoke. As a physician each Day i hear patients complaining of the effect of cigarette smoke. They complain or burning and tearing eyes nasal congestion dizziness headaches nausea and wheezing. Those who Are asthmatic experience the most significant problems. Some asthmatic patients have required emergency treatment As a result of cigarette smoke. Studies have shown an increase in lung cancer i those continually exposed to someone Elsters cigarette smoke. Parents of asthmatic children unwittingly Worsen that child s asthma by smoking in their pres ence. Even if the health contents were not real there is Mill the matter of being exposed to a noxious sub stance. Would any smoker tolerate someone spraying Mace around them just because they enjoyed us taste or the drug effect i am certain they would not yet they impose just such a circumstance on the non smoker for the Sake of their Awn pleasure. Smokers also have rights. We cannot relegate the to some sort of sub human status just because they smoke. They Are after All often family friends an associates. In All other respects they an usually productive creative and sensitive people. They May Actu ally enjoy smoking. For some miraculous reason some can adjust to the extremely irritant materials in cigarette smoke. Often they have a True physiologic addiction to Nic Otine with a definite and uncomfortable withdrawal concentration and drive. For Sutti people the Short term benefits Are Paramount. The Long term effects seem to be Only a possibility none expect to be victimized. How can the needs of smokers and non smokers like be met with fairness and composure both have legitimate needs. Traditionally society has had to de Termine what is Best for the greatest number. In Iii instance the department of defense has taken a Stan with what 1 believe Are appropriate limitations of smoking in government otherwise Good soldiers or civilian employees have taken in upon themselves to nullify the directive and to continue to immerse their associates in Smokel they have in effect stated that their needs arc More important than anyone else s and have in an in melt tary fashion ignored an order from a Superior officer fall members of a unit or All occupants of an office arc smokers it May legitimately be declared a smok ing area. However if even one person objects All others should Only smoke in areas not frequented a that individual. To do otherwise is contrary to the letter and intent of the May protest that a single individual having control of this sort represents a kind of tyranny however our society has now taken the View that one individual s Comfort and Well being should Lake precedence Over Mere pleasure or dependency on a drug. Of course the Issue for the department of defens Eis even larger. Those who Stop smoking win also Bene fit in the end. Yes smokers have been and Are great soldiers among the finest on the face of the Earth but they didst need to smoke to accomplish Tail level of excellence i submit to you that smoking is counterproductive and Call upon All smokers to confine their smoking to designated areas. I ask All commanders to fairly an justly designate smoking areas where no innocent non smokers Wilt be forced to smoke passively. It is further incumbent upon smoking commanders and possibly More difficult to avoid the conscious or of the non smoker to accede to his wishes. The non smoker himself must speak out an not give silent consent. The Day will come when our enlightened descendant will View smoking As a strange and unbelievable practice. Until that time let us be considerate of on another. Or. La col Jaronn s. Brow Frankfurt . Blood program is enough writer told i have a question for the letters Section.
