Candy Flavored Tobacco Products No Longer A Temptation To Children Main Category: Smoking / Quit Smoking Also Included In: Pediatrics / Children's Health Article Date: 22 Sep 2009 - 4:00 PDT Statement of Charles D. Connor, American Lung Association President and CEO: Starting tomorrow, the use of candy and fruit flavors in cigarettes, a tactic employed by tobacco companies to get children hooked on smoking, is ... Join TogetherMore tax money going up in smoke Specialty tobacco retailers in Hawai'i are bracing for the ignition of a new state law on Wednesday that dramatically increases taxes on cigars, pipe tobacco and smokeless tobacco. The tax hike, passed by the Legislature in May, will result in state taxes accounting for half or more than half the wholesale price of such tobacco products, with consumers paying for the hike in retail purchases. The move comes on the heals of a federal tobacco tax increase that took effect in April, and was intended to increase revenue to the state in an effort to help balance its budget. But the higher taxes are also expected to hurt sales for retailers already suffering in the bad economy by curbing smoking for some consumers or leading them to buy tobacco elsewhere. 'It's going to kill us,' said Diane Chow, manager of Kipuka Smoke Shop in Hilo. Tobacco.orgEDITORIAL: Big Tobacco atttempts to evade FDA rules Locally, the Kingsport/Bristol region is the second smokiest region in the United States, with approximately 30.5 percent of all adults smoking. That statistic takes a terrible toll on our health, and strains our hospitals where administrators say the majority of admissions are related to smoking. Reducing smoking reduces the associated health costs for these illnesses. Yes, tobacco is still a legal product. But as of last week, it is an FDA-regulated one because of its proven harm to human health. Curtailing some marketing of a proven cancer-causing product should not become a free-speech call to arms. It is a matter of protecting the public's health. Join TogetherExclusion of menthol cigarettes in ban worries health experts The act required the FDA to create a Tobacco Products Advisory Committee, which will submit reports on such questions as 'the impact of the use of menthol in cigarettes on the public health.' Although teen smoking overall has declined, the proportion who smoke menthol cigarettes is rising -- 17.5% from 2000 to 2002, according to the American Legacy Foundation, created as a result of the 1998 settlement between state attorneys general and the tobacco industry. About 44% of smokers ages 12 to 17 use menthol cigarettes, the foundation says. 'It makes no sense' to keep menthol cigarettes on the market, says Legacy CEO Cheryl Healton. A 2002 study found 60% of middle school smokers smoked menthol, says scientist James Hersey with RTI International, an independent research institute in Washington, D.C. 'I think menthol is easier to smoke, so kids will often start with menthol.' Join TogetherLiving With Genetic Test Results For Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Presymptomatic gene mutation testing has been available for individuals at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) for 15 years (Miki et al., 1994). This has created a category of individuals with specific genetic mutations who are well but living with knowledge that it is highly probable they will become ill in the future. Little is known about how individuals live with such knowledge beyond the months immediately following testing. Although the likelihood of emotional distress regarding test results is documented, issues affecting well-being and subsequent health decisions are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to examine issues for women with a BRCAl or BRCA2 mutation over several years following genetic tes... cancercompass.com |
