Prepared A Stars & Stripes article reprinted May 10 in the Hilltop Times included an inaccurate statement that Air Force Materiel Command would soon ban all tobacco products on its bases. Although the Air Force Community Action Information Board endorsed a proposal for AFMC to move ahead with a tobacco ban as a test case, AFMC officials said the command is nowhere near ready to institute a ban on tobacco products. 'The recent decision and endorsement by the Air Force CAIB gives us a chance to regroup within AFMC," said AFMC Surgeon General, Brig. Gen. William J. Germann. "Tobacco use among our active-duty and civilian work force has not decreased significantly in the past'several years, and its associated health risks remain a wellness concern for us. While there are many opportunities to improve the wellness of our work force, tobacco cessation is, and always will be, a complex issue." AFMC personnel officials emphasized that any comprehensive smoking ban must be implemented in a phased approach and be done in partnership with employees' unions. Unlike other Air Force major commands, AFMC's work force is predominantly civilian, more than 70 percent of its nearly 78,000 members. Air Force leaders have long been concerned that tobacco use significantly increases costs due to medical care and decreased productivity. The Air Force is developing options for a service-wide, restrictive tobacco-use policy, but details are still being determined and are subject to approval by the Secretary and Chief of Staff. 52.
