Military to ban smoking in all federal work areas
The military will end 50 years of smoking tolerance by prohibiting tobacco use in workplace buildings and enclosed spaces effective April 8. Exceptions include some housing and shipboard areas. The move, backed by Deputy Defense Secretary Goodman, aims to reduce health costs and sick days while marking a shift from traditional permissiveness.

Health improves but room for growth, Elders says
Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders says Americans are healthier than a decade ago though still need work. She cites seat belt use rising from 19 to 73 percent since 1984, less drunk driving, steady declines in smoking, and more exercise, while criticizing lack of preventive health programs and costly elderly-focused care.
