The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago and decided it was not for you.
The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers—there are, after all, about 100 million of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.
And finally it’s a pretty safe bet that you are open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers—or you wouldn’t be reading this.
And those three things make you incredibly important today.
Because they mean that yours is the voice—not the smokers’ and not the antismokers’ —that will determine how much of the society’s efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.
For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific re search on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmokers as well as the smokers. One prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly-contributed dollar on education (much of it in antismoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research.
There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even those who may serve society. The antismoking wall-builders have to give them their due help to make us more keenly aware of choice.
But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society’s interests better by working together in mutual accommodation.
Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society forward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions can.
It is evident that the author is NOT in favor of ______.
