The secretary of the Navy, continuing a Pentagon crackdown on smoking, has issued a directive ordering new limits on tobacco use in offices, on ships and inside aircraft. The directive from Navy Secretary John F. Lehman Jr. also flatly bans the sale of tobacco products inside all Navy medical and dental facilities, calls for a major “educational-awareness” campaign, and orders the men and women who conduct basic training to cease all smoking “in the presence of students, recruits and officer candidates.” The directive, which applies to the Marine Corps and Navy, resembles a directive by Army Secretary John O. Marsh Jr.
