National Effort Sought To Show Smoking's Danger
Washington UPI Surgeon General Luther L. Terry urged a new national drive to persuade Americans to quit smoking. On the anniversary of a advisory panel linking cigarettes to lung cancer he cited only a modest drop in adult male smoking but said millions can be persuaded further. He noted many ex-smokers and urged warnings on labels. Senator Neuberger pressed for strong legislation and funding for education. Emerson Foote called cigarette advertising dangerous and urged warnings on all ads and labels. Terry said economic data show a spring dip followed by rising smoking, yet publicized findings have helped curb the problem.
