AUSTIN (AP) — Fewer Texans
are smoking and more are quitting,
Texas health professionals said
Tuesday while announcing a legis
lative agenda that includes a propo
sal to prohibit smoking in public
places.
The issue of smoking in public
places is not an issue of manners, it is
an issue of toxicology, and the public
must be protected from smoke in
public places,” said Elvin Smith,
spokesman for the Texas affiliate of
the American Heart Association.
Figures taken from population
surveys collected by the U.S. Census
Bureau show that in 1989 some 25.6
percent of the Texas population
smoked, down from 30.6 percent in
1985. T he national rate last year was
25.5 percent.
The state health department said
even more encouraging is that the
“quit ratio” in Texas increased from
37 percent in 1985 to 46 percent in
1989. The “quit ratio” is the percent
age of people 20 and older who have
smoked at some time in their lives,
but no longer smoke.
Edward Carter, executive director
of the American Lung Association of
Texas, said groups opposing smok
ing have had “some real success” but
now need to focus on “heavy smok
ers, minorities — who are smoking
at higher rates — blue collar and the
less-educated.”
Emily Untermeyer, executive di
rector of the Texas Cancer Council,
said, “Preventing use of tobacco
products is one of the biggest win
dows of opportunity we have for re
ducing the burden of cancer in
Texas.”
Smith said the American Heart
Association, American Lung Asso
ciation and American Cancer Society
will support a Minimum Standards
“The issue of smoking
in public places is not
an issue of manners, it
is an issue of
toxicology, and the
public must be
protected from smoke
in public places,”
— Elvin Smith,
spokesman Texas affiliate
of the American Heart
Association.
Clean Indoor Air Act, a licensing
system for those who sell tobacco
products and legislation prohibiting
the sale of such products through
vending machines.
The clean-air proposal would pro
hibit smoking in public places and at
public meetings except in designated
smoking areas.
Smith, associate dean of the Col
lege of Medicine at Texas A&M Uni
versity, said those who oppose clean-
air ordinances “would argue that the
public will not accept them.”
But Smith offered this example to
show that the public would. He said
Kyle Field, the football stadium on
the A&M campus that seats 76,000,
has been declared a “no-smoking
stadium for the past year.”
When that designation was made,
he said, “there was great concern
that there would be a major reaction
to the announcement.”
“Let me assure you that every
time that announcement is made in
the football stadium... or at the at
tendant baseball stadium, there is a
lasting, roaring round of public ap
plause,” he said.
