Gail Clark highlights a shift toward action by nonsmokers after the Surgeon General's findings on secondhand smoke. The Center For Nonsmokers' Rights offers guidance and calls for legislative advocacy, with restaurants and waiting rooms encouraging quieter, smoke free spaces.
Dr. Joseph Ross of the Medical University of South Carolina leads the nonsmokers rights push, arguing secondhand smoke harms health and that legislation should limit smoking to designated areas. The campaign cites studies, public surveys, and the 55 million American smokers as a minority to justify protections for nonsmokers.
The South Carolina Lung Association inaugurates the Center for Nonsmokers Rights in September to educate the public, gather complaints, and advocate for smokefree enclosed public spaces. Vicki Carr chairs the national campaign. Dr Joseph Ross joins as medical advocate to highlight health hazards.
