society which should be so unfavourable toward smoking that smoking could not arise once again as a major factor harmful to public health.

　　By Swedish law, life-insurance premiums are lowered for nonsmokers. WEST GERMANY

　　An image-reversing advertising campaign began a few years ago in West Germany whereby it is the nonsmoker who is shown to be living the swinging life previously claimed by the cigarette addict.

　　A government-sponsored program to warn the public about the dangers of smoking includes an attempt to encourage consideration of the nonsmoker at work and in public places. Tobacco television ads were stopped in 1973.

　　But there are no firm plans at the federal level to ban smoking in public places, although it is being considered as a legislative proposal. Health experts say that the legally required warning on cigarette packages in the United States has not helped. Hence there are strong doubts about strict laws in the whole area of smoking. The governing idea here is to encourage consideration of others. But this angle of attack does not rule out legislation. In two of Germanys 11 states there are laws to protect public employees who do not smoke from their smoking fellow workers. Smoke breaks are used to separate the smokers and nonsmokers.

　　The nonsmoker today is just as much or more respected than the smoker. Says one health official, and this is a success in itself. GREAT BRITAIN
