Yet years after the posting of the mild admonition, "Warning: The Surgeon General Has Deter- mined That Cigarette Smoking ts Dangerous to Your Health, "on every cigarette pack sold in the U.S.A. and after the banishment of pastoral and tough he-man ads from the airwaves, smokers are still on the increase.
