WORLD SPOTLIGHT

British Gov't Notes Results In Anti-Cigarette Campaign

The AP World Spotlight this week takes a leok at the British government's eampaign against smoking and its results. It also re- ports Haitian dictator Fran-

, cols Duvalier is trying te lure tourists, and notes the eomments of another Roose- velt at the UN.

LONDON (‘AP)—The British government believes its propa- ganda against cigarette smok- tng, now three years old, is be- ginning to make converts.

It claims a trend likely to lead to a steady drop in con- sumption of cigarette tobacco.

The tobacco industry is skept- teal, but such a claim by a gov- ernment markedly depend- ent on revenue from tobacco is obviously not made lightly. The government gets three cents in tax every time a Briton buys a cigarette.

“We seem to have made a very definite impact on the na- tion's thinking habits about. cig- arettes,"’ said a spokesman for the health ministry.

‘We believe .we have. partly

demolished the thought barrier |

which saw cigarette smoking as

a natural and harmless func- |

Britons belight 115,200,000,000 eigarettes in 1963, 114,400,000,- 000 in. 1964.

Sales of cigars have risen to ,000,000 last year from 390,- 000 in 1962.

The ministry sees a shift to “iter tips and the growing popu-

cial reports linking cigarette | amoke and cancer have had an | affect on cigarette consumption. | But, the industry maintains that _ the major reason for falling |

sales is the increased cost of emcling due te higher taxa-

“on. -| With four increases im tax |

partment estimates that reve- nue from tobacco sales this year will reach a record $2,950,- 000,000. This is 105 times more

than -similar revenues of 1900 | “and sufficient to meet total an- |

nual government expenditure on education. ‘

While it campaigns to de- stroy the cigarette, the goverr- ment has Britain's biggest vested interest in its continued existence.

The money it is spending on its anti-cigarette drive this year is, by comparison, a puny sum $327,000.

The program started in a muted way with the aim of ¢s- tablishing non-smoking as thc form of behavior for teen-agers. A survey showed that tee:- agers were cynical toward the campaign, mainly because their elders were not exhorted tn quit smoking cigarettes.

So the ministry has gone over to a national poster campaign and taken time on télevision to persuade adults to sto. SURGEON GIVES WARNING

A one-minue TV film whicl. the ministry believes had an impact showed a surgeon sit- ting at his desk and saying:

“Most of the patients I see here in hospital with lung can- cer and with bronchitis, ‘and

’ many of those with heart dis- ease, ruined their health by smoking cigarettes. Of course, they didn’t know that cigarette emoking was dangerous, buf we

do know now and it's rather worrying that so many people go on taking this serious risk.” | Giant posters displayed on

billboards throughout Britain show a pound note-—worth $3— blazing against a black back- |ground. The caption reads: ‘It doesn't pay to smoke. Why risk |your health for cigarettes?"’ The government banned TV | advertising of cigarettes start- ing last Aug!1, The ministry | Spokesman to determine,’ whether this has |had any affect on consumption | The i used to spend | $16,800,000.,a/ year on TV adver- tising of cigarettes.

\goring sports competitions | which can be used to boost ‘brand names.

PORT AU PRINCE (AP)— |Papa Doc is making come | hither eyes at North Americans. | The Haitian dictator, formally known as Francois Duvalier, 1s going after tourist dollars. | Until very recently, Haiti was |about as compelling a tourist - attraction asthe — Dominican | revolution next door. It has 'quieted down—possibly because the dictator has runout of lo- cal enemies. There hasn't been much noise since the last ma- |jor opposition crisis in April | 1963. He jailed 65 military offi- cers who-haven't been heard from since. He frightened scores of others into political

Duvalier’s political apparatus includes a well-armed civilian militia of 5,000 to confront any

bullyboys, to keep restless civil- ians in line.

Until recently, some Haitians would greet each other with the remark, ‘‘did you go to mass this morning?” Or “did you have a good cup of coffee this
