Old and new customers welcome. By GARY MINICII H8.R Staff Writer The smoke-free workplace should be the long-range goal of businesses, but managers should not try to get there overnight, Dr. Ann Bartdorf-Barnes, a physician with the Midwest Occupational Health Association told Decatur managers and business owners Wednesday. Bartdorf-Barnes was one of four panelists assembled by the Metro. Decatur Chamber of Commerce and the Decatur Leader-hip Institute to address issues raised by Illinois Clean Indoor Air Act in conjunction with today's Great American Smokeout.

Bartdoff-Barnes said 95 percent all smokers want to quit, but they need positive support and understanding from employers and their peers in the process. Eighty percent of those who do quit will backslide she said. Among other panel members, Kfjer Motsinger, personnel director of Decatur's Caterpillar plant, outlined his company's development of smoking policies over a three-year period and Sister Sherry Murphy and Jacqueline Fichter explained aspects of the j-nt smoking ban St. Mary's Hos-f and Decatur Memorial Hos-r will put into effect Jan. 1.

Motsinger said an effective policy to curb workplace smoking requires the support of top man-cment and employee participation in the development. 1" participation gains support and compliance while no policy is likely to win acceptance without management support. At Caterpillar today, smoking is banned in all office areas and is only in designated lunchroom arens and in the open liiy manufacturing area. i-'Motsinger said the Illinois law, iTwhEch took effect Jan. 1.

is a valuable tool in setting anti-smoking Satanists Sinnoke of Kicking the habit The American Cancer Society provided these tips for kicking the cigarette habit. First: Get rid of all cigarettes, ashtrays, matches and lighters in your home, office, and car. Find a friend who will offer support. Then, when you're hit with the urge to take a puff: Take a deep breath, hold it for 10 seconds, then release it very slowly. Brush your teeth.

fl Schedule a dental appointment to have your teeth cleaned and the nicotine stains removed. Chew on carrot sticks, sugarless gum or straws. Do a brief exercise (isometrics, push ups, deep knee bends, walk up a flight of stairs, touch your toes). Drink lots of liquid, but avoid coffee, alcohol, and caffei-nated soft drinks. fl Keep your hands busy: Write a letter, knit a sweater, work on the car, practice your golf swing, do a crossword puzzle, or volunteer to help a friend.

Eat several small meals to maintain constant blood sugar levels that prevent the urge to smoke. Avoid sugary or spicy foods. Change your routine: Don't linger over that last cup of coffee in the morning; Don't sit at the dinner table for a long time after eating; Don't sit in your smoking chair while watching TV. How long has smoking been banned in movie theaters?" asked the moderator Jim Smiley of Decatur Aviation Inc. The luncheon seminar at The Blue Mill was attended by about 35 businessmen and women.

$10,000 or less, 35.5 percent of men and 25.9 percent of women smoke. Among those with incomes of $40,000 or more, 24.1 percent of men and 20 percent of women smoke. The American Cancer Society estimates 157,000 new cases of lung cancer and 142,000 lung cancer deaths in 1990. Cigarette smoking is responsible for 83 percent ot lung cancer cases overall. Smoking has been implicated in cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, pancreas, cervix and bladder.

Cigarette smoking coststhe U.S. economy $65 billion annually in health care and lost productivity. That means each pack of cigarettes sold in the U.S. costs our economy about $2.17. Out of every 100 smokers who try to quit, 60 percent go back to smoking within a year.

The hospital representatives outlined the actions both facilities have taken jointly to prepare their employees, physicians and the public for 1991, when both will totally ban smoking in their buildings or grounds. "We knew we would fail (implementing a smoking ban) unless DMH adopted the same policies," Sister Murphy said. Fichter said that groups other than employees have been slow to respond. "In part we are creating a culture in which smoking isn't done," she said. After meetings with personnel at other hospitals that have put similar bans into effect, Murphy said she did not anticipate much public resistance.

"We learn there are places where smoking isn't accepted. Who are those These are statistics compiled by the American Cancer Society: In the U.S. today, there are about 50 million smokers and about 40 million former cigarette smokers. Most men who smoke are between the ages of 35 and 44 (43.8 percent) Most women are between the ages of 25 and percent). Almost a third of blacks (age 13 and older) are smokers.

Among whites of the same age, 29 percent smoke. The more educated a person is, the less likely he is to smoke. While 38 percent of men and 27.8 percent of women with 11 or fewer years of education smoke, only 18 percent of men and 13.5 percent of women with 16 or more years education smoke. Poor people are more likely to smoke than the well-to-do. Among people with incomes of policies.

Dr. Bartdorf-Barnes said it is essential to "change the culture" before trying to change the habits individuals. "Tobacco is mood-altering drug (that is) very rewarding to smokers," she said. Nicotine affects neurotransmitters in the brain and nervous system that make smokers more alert, affects arousal centers, pain and pleasure centers and reduces anxiety." "This is very hard to give up. Studies have shown it is easier to successfully give up heroin than a tobacco addiction," she said.

In talking to smokers, she is positive but nonetheless accents the health hazards involved. "Every cigarette is damaging," she said. Yet those who quit in time will see their bodies throw off the effects of abuse over time. suspected in grave desecration said the investigation is continuing. Investigators said that the body buried at the site along with the pine casket, if one was used deteriorated long ago.

No human remains or evidence of casket were found at the site. Scattered bricks used to form burial vaults a century ago did survive the ages and were at the tomb. ship. An anonymous tip Wednesday alerted Macon County sheriff's deputies to the desecration, which probably happened sometime in the last two weeks. Since the reports surfaced, additional tipsters provided further information Wednesday evening.

Deputies declined comment on number of suspects or the leads but Authorities suspect satanic ritu-'rdists may be involved in digging up a century--old gravesite in Peck Cemetery.
