Stopping cigarette smoking has become a big problem for all governments. In democratic countries, the economic strength ofthe tobacco industry is such great that measures taken by 1governments to protect the rights of non-smokers cannot beapplied efficiently. In some undemocratic countries, on the other 2hand, governments cannot be trusted and they lack the motivationto deal with the problem. However under any political system, 3social conditioning and chemical habit make banning tobacco a 4formidable task and one that would take a long time. Yet, current information campaigns are failing as worldwide use increases faster than the population. Totally banning cigarettesmoking so far as has been unsuccessful in all countries. An 5alternative approach includes neither the prohibition of smoking in 6the workplace and public buildings or the strict limitation ofsmoking to specific areas. This movement may be the greatest 7success of the information campaign against tobacco. Its leaders insist that despite the continued sale, advertising, and use oftobacco, non-smokers have every right to be exposed to the 8carcinogens, carbon monoxide, and irritants in tobacco smoke. Such a campaign can have three important effects. First of all,by banning the use of tobacco from places that non-smokers would 9be exposed, thousands of lives may be saved. Second, by forcing 10smokers to give up their habit while in the presence of non-smokers will provide them with an added force to quit. And third, by stigmatizing tobacco use as dangerous and antisocial, the campaign for non-smokers' rights can accomplish a goal of all anti-smoking information campaigns: to make smoking socially unattractive.
