Common Problems， Common Solutions
The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago —— and decided it's not for you.
The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers —— there are， after all about 60 million of them， work with them， and get along with them very well.
And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers —— or you wouldn't be reading this.
And those three things make you incredibly important today.
Because they mean that yours is the voice —— not the smoker's and not the anti-smoker's ——that will determine how much of society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.
For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which， when all is said and done， still strike the nonsmoker as well as the smoker. One prominent health organization， to cite but a single instance， now spends 28 cents of every publicly contributed dollar on " education " （much of it in anti-smoking propaganda） and only 2 cents on research.
There will always be some who want to build walls， who want to separate people from people， and up to a point， even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have， to give them their due， helped to make us all more keenly aware of choice.
But our guess， and certainly our hope， is that you are among the far greatest number who know that walls are only temporary at best， and that over the long run， we can serve society's interest better by working together in mutual accommodation.
Whatever virtue walls may have， they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems， common solutions， can.

Early or Later Day Care
The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during
The sensitive“attachment” period from birth to three may scar a child's personality and
I predispose to emotional problems in later life.Some people have drawn the conclusion from
Bowlby's work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it entails，and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion. Firstly，anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents；found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies.For example，in some tribal societies，such as the Ngoni，the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant alone—far from it'.Secondly，common sense tells US that day care would not be so widespread today if parents
care-takers found children had problems with it.Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out，and even if they were，the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.Thirdly.in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care，and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neural or slightly positive effect on children's development.But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
