  • 22.11.2011 Most Bars In Marion County Could Be Smoke-free Soon

    A surprise bid by the City-County Council president to pass a stronger smoking cigarettes ban covering bars and bowling alleys -- in the waning days of the Republican majority -- has caught two key groups off guard.Democrats had been making plans to push for an even stronger measure after they take control of the council Jan. 1. No matter who's in charge, their votes are vital for passage of an expanded smoking cigarettes ban in any form, since many Republicans are opposed.And anti-smoking cigarettes advocates called the move by Republicans -- with backing from Mayor Greg Ballard --...

  • 18.10.2011 Health Matters

    Forty-seven years have passed since the surgeon general first reported that smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer. Since that time, cigarettes use has greatly declined in Montana and across the nation. Much of this decline is attributed to tobacco-related policy implemented by federal and state governments.Evidence-based policies that decrease the number of youth who start using cheap cigarettes and increase the number of adults who quit using tobacco include: increasing the price of all tobacco products; eliminating exposure to secondhand smoke; and funding comprehensive tobacco-use...

Smokers

So begins "End of the Trail," a well-known short story by the humorist Garrison Keillor published in 1984 in The New Yorker. The story imagines that the last five smokers "had been on the run since the adoption of the 28th Amendment."

Some 27 years later, things aren't quite that bad for the one in five American adults who still smokes. There has been no 28th Amendment making smoking cigarettes unconstitutional. But the attitude of the chief cheap cigarettes agent in Mr. Keillor's story is pretty common: "Move 'em out of here! They disgust me."

Consider some of the 370 comments posted (at last count) at STLtoday.com to a story in the Friday Post-Dispatch by reporter Blythe Bernhard. Seven SSM Health Care hospitals in the area will start a tobbaco-free hiring policy next month.

"If you smoke cigarettes at all you stink of it," wrote one reader. "You reek. Your eyes are yellow. You have fatty deposits around your eyes. You look old and leathery before your time. Your fingers are dry and cracked, yellow and unattractive. You can't quit because you are addicted."

The other side is heard from: "Our rights are being taken away little by little. First this, then it'll be if you eat fast food, or Twinkies or if you are single [and] you have sex outside of marriage."

Live and let live (or not, as the actuaries suggest) is not an attitude that the Internet encourages.

A spokesman for SSM said the company took the action to "encourage our employees to take better care of themselves and set good examples for our patients." A side benefit, he said, is that having "healthier employees does mean lower health care costs."

It should be noted that SSM has the absolute right under Missouri law to set rules for its employees' off-hour drinking and smoking cigarettes habits. Most companies don't have that right, but the law makes an exception for religious and church groups and not-for-profit health care organizations. SSM could have applied the rule retroactively to current employees, but it chose not to.

Still, we wish SSM would rethink the policy. Low-income workers — about a third of whom smoke cigarettes — will be disproportionately affected. For them, life is hard enough and jobs are scarce enough. And will it really reflect poorly on the hospital if a food-service worker is spotted smoking cigarettes off-hours?

Studies show only about one in every 20 physicians in America smokes and only one in every 12 nurses. They know the risks better than most people. Also, they're more employable than most people.

As to the fast-food-and-Twinkie argument, that day may come. But right now federal law suggests that obesity is a disability that deserves protection, not a life-choice that can be proscribed.

Is there a "right" to smoke? No, courts have said smoking cigarettes is "not fundamental to the concept of ordered liberty." Further, courts have ruled, smokers do not qualify as a protected class under the 14th Amendment.

Smokers are merely people who struggle with a dangerous and expensive addiction. Some of them, like some non-smokers, are obnoxious. But they deserve better than "Move 'em out of here! They disgust me."
