Surgeon general urges smokers
to quit making children victims
VVASI 1IN(. TON (API — Parents who smoko make
children "innocent v it tims" of their addiction. Sur
geon General Jovoelvn Elders said Thursday She
urged adults to quit smoking inside their homes
and cars.
Elders joined ear. nose and throat doctors in
launching a new campaign to dramatize the haz
ards of secondhand smoke and get smoking banned
in and around day care centers and si hools
Nine million children breathe set ondhand smoke
regularly, and at least half of all kids under '■i live
in a home with at least one adult smoker. Elders
and others told a new s conference
"Hundreds of thousands of children every year
will suffer acute attacks of asthma brought on by
secondhand smoke," said Dr David K Nielsen of
Phoenix, a leader of the American Academy of Oto
laryngologvHead and Not k Surgery campaign
And tens of thousands of infants under 18 months
are hospitalized each year with bronchitis and pneu
monias "that probably could have been prevent
ed without this exposure." said Nielsen
The campaign was launched at a publii elernen
tary school, where children paraded in with Stop
Smoking signs
"People simply are unaware of the dangers to
which they are exposing their children,” said Joan
Lunden. the host of "Good Morning America" and
spokesperson for the campaign.
"Parents don't hesitate to keep their children out
of an asbestos-filled school... and yet they will still
allow smoking in elementary schools today and
in day care centers," said Lunden. daughter of a
cancer surgeon.
"Secondhand smoke affects . children for their
entire lives. As adults they're twice as likely to
develop lung cancer if their parents smoke," said
Elders.
She said 750,000 young children are exposed
‘Hundreds of thousands of
children every year will suffer
acute attacks of asthma ...
brought on by secondhand
smoke.’
Dr David R Nielsen
to smoke in dav i artt i unturs. and B3 percent of
schools still allow smoking some plat t> on the
promises
"Wo as adults have t i hoico Hut our children
have no choit o So wo noed to got sot ondliand
smoko out of our schools, out ol our restaurants,
out of our t ars as parents, out of our homes
said Hitlers "Your children are innocent vit tuns of
your addiction ."
Several children added their voices to the i ho
rns of smoking critii s at Stevens Hlementary
School, nit ludmg 5 year-old Wesley Dorfman. a
kindergartener badgering Ins mother to quit
"This has really gotten to me," said Shawn Hub
bin. 34. an art director and pat k a-day smoker
"Something's trying to toll me something in a big
way. 1 need to seriously, seriously quit "
Wesley had long complained that "the smoko
stinks and everything else," his mother said, but
lately he's begun bringing home "specific infor
mation about what it's doing to him — or what it
could do to him "
"It is doing something to me It's making mo
sick I want no one smoking around me, Mommy,"
Wesley t himed in. "Tell my Dad that you'll quit
smoking."
"I'm going to tell him." promised Rubbin
