The State - News from March 5, 1986
The California Medical Assn. proposed a ban on smoking in all hospitals and that alcoholic beverages be required to carry health warnings similar to those on cigarettes.

On the alcohol issue, delegates estimated that 15% of the nation’s health-care costs are linked in one way or another to alcohol abuse.
