1. Tobacco Control: How is Michigan Doing? Ron Davis, M.D. Center for Health Promotion & Disease Prevention Henry Ford Health System Tobacco-Free Michigan Membership Meeting July 25, 2003 / East Lansing, Michigan

3. Henry Ford, 1916 How Employers Feel Toward Cigarette Smokers Here is an Automobile Company’s Attitude “Cigarette smoking is acquiring a hold on a great many boys in our community…. Since it is such a bad practice and is taking such a hold upon so many people, we think it is a disgrace for a grown man to smoke cigarettes, because it is not only injurious to his health, but it is such a bad example to the boys….” Source: Henry Ford, The Case Against the Little White Slaver, 1916. (reprinted by the Historical Society of Michigan, 1992)

4. Henry Ford, 1916 (continued) “Boys who smoke cigarettes we do not care to keep in our employ. In the future we will not hire anyone whom we know to be addicted to this habit. It is our desire to weed it entirely out of the factory just as soon as practicable…. “We have two objects in interesting ourselves in this matter: First, to help men and boys; second, we believe that men who do not smoke cigarettes or frequent the saloon can make better automobiles than those who do.”

29. Omar Paulk Grade 8: “In the neighborhood, the phrase ‘to smoke’ means to kill someone. ‘He got smoked’ means he got killed. When smokers finish a cigarette, they say they are killing the cigarette. My drawing asks the question, Who’s Smoking Who? It means the cigarette is killing the smoker.”
