AP Science RepoTter

NEW YORK R-The great Gig
arctic controversy is flaming hot
ter.
II has millions of Americans puz-
zled or confused. and many fright
ened. Are cigarettes really danger
Gus? Should YOU stop smoking?
1t finds the house of science and
medicine divided. Some authorities
frankly call cigarettes a major
factor in causing human cancer,
especially lung cancer, and say
they are bad for your heart. But
others. equally prominent, say the
case against cigarettes is by no
means proved.
II finds many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars being poured into
research to find the answer, or an.
swerS. That fact could produce
great boons for all of US, for the
research will dig deep into some
biological ysterie S. What is
learned could turn up vital links
about the cause, control or treat
ment of cancer, heart disease or
possibly other health matters,
quite aside from its effect in the
cigarette controversy.
The controversy finds unknown
thousands of men and women Civ
ing up cigarettes, or trying to, or
thinking they should.
Human health is one stake in
the controversy: Are cigarettes
harmless. bad, or somewhere in
between? Human enjoyment is an
other: Most smokers enjoy their
smoking.
The tobacco industry - the big
and small growers and manufac-
turers and professors, middlemen,
wholesalers, retailers, vending ma
chine operators and many others
owes its livelihood to tobacco.
Governments derive much revenue
from tobacco taxes.
Science and medicine have a
stake. Should a reputable scien.
list disclose his findings which lead
him to suspect hazards in Smok-
ing. or anything else? Or should
he wait until he has definite proof?
If he is proved wrong after his
early announcement, viii people
accuse him of scare mongering, or
lose faith in scientific research? :?
If he is proved right after deciding
not to warn the pubic would peo-
pie accuse him Of having shirked
his responsibility?
The cigarette controversy, like
