Show Thursday, June 20, 1985 Smoke gets in your everything by William J. Gibson Directorate of Energy Man- agement Cameron Station, Va. I recall an old song titled "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." What this romantic ditty fails to mention is that smoke also gets in your lungs, in your hair, in your clothes, and under your skin. What's more, there's not even a lyrical refrain mentioning that smoke enhances the potential for such ill- nesses as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, and coronary disease. My concern is that this passive, or second-han- d smoke, while, harmless in music, is dangerous in real life. Self-preservati- on I encourage my co-work- tobacco-totin- g to quit ers smoking. I hope my active resistance to their habit will cause them to stop smoking. However, to be quite honest, I'm just as interested in protecting my own health by others.

Sandler et aL, suggests that some chemicals appear in ' higher concentration in the unaltered sidestream smoke than in mainstream smoke. The health consequences from inhaling smoke passively differs from those of 'direct smoking. In comparing sidestream with mainstream smoke, researchers found 52 times as much dimethylnitrosamine, 16 times as much naphthalene, 28 times as much methylnaphalene, 3.4 times as much benzoapyrene, and 5.6 times as much toluene as in mainstream smoke. and visitors on government facilities to have an environment reasonably free of con- - active puffs).
