The latest craze in the UK, the battery-powered cigarette may be the answer to indoor smoking bans. Smokers still get their nicotine kick through an atomiser, which creates puffs of vapour to resemble cigarette smoke. Yet to hit Australian shelves, the e-cigarette can be bought over the internet and is widely available throughout Europe. Nicotine is its only [...]

Some public health experts are questioning why menthol, the most widely used cigarette flavoring and the most popular cigarette choice of African-American smokers, is receiving special protection as Congress tries to regulate tobacco for the first time.The legislation, which would give the Food and Drug Administration the power to oversee tobacco products, would try to [...]

The latest dispatch from the Nanny State is the proposed ban on the sale of cigarettes, and all other tobacco products, in San Francisco drug stores. It's enough to make me want to take up the filthy habit---except the last time tobacco touched my lips, I ended up sleeping with a man, and became a mom.I love San Francisco. It was home during my fag hag period. Some of my best friends still live

This has just been kind of interesting to watch. Massachusetts has approved another $1.00 a pack tax on cigarettes, a tax burden that unfairly affects the poor and disadvantaged at a disproportionate level by the way. A tax that preys on a person’s weakness seems like an extremely vile tax to me in the first place.  Anyway, [...]

In 2006, cancer researchers were jolted by a controversial new study claiming that 80 percent of lung cancer deaths could be prevented through widespread use of CT scans. Small print in the study noted that it had been financed in part by a little-known charity called “The Foundation for Lung Cancer: Early Detection, Prevention & Treatment.” But a recent review of tax records showed that the foundation was underwritten almost entirely by $3.6 million in grants from the makers of the Liggett Select, Eve, Grand Prix, Quest and Pyramid cigarette brands. Prominent cancer researchers and journal editors were stunned to learn of the association. Critics are now questioning the validity of the study, including its survival projections and its assumption that all lung cancer patients who

There are over 4 thousand chemicals in every cigarette, 60 or which have been known to cause cancer. These chemicals contribute to the harmful effects of smoking. Not only does it increase your risks of getting lung cancer but there are other major health problems as well. Cancer of the throat, mouth, smokers cough, emphysema, lack or stamina and premature wrinkles are a few of these issues.The most active and addictive ingredient in cigarettes is nicotine. However it's not the most harmful. The smoke and tar contain the chemicals that cause cancer. People get addicted to the nicotine and die from the smoke and chemicals.Many nicotine replacement therapies have been developed to help people quit smoking. The idea behind these therapies is to provide the body with a little nicotine while ke

E-mails have joined the cigarette and the humble coffee runs as the latest threat to workplace productivity.Researchers have carried out a study and found that e-mails have gone from being a useful office tool to a curse that actually takes up huge amounts of work time, The Daily Telegraph reported on Monday.According to the researchers, the average employee now spends an estimated 90 minutes to two hours a day wading through hundreds of messages, much of which is basically spam and junk mail.The study by the Radicati Group has found that worldwide email traffic has hit 196 billion messages a day. It is predicted to reach 374 billion per day by 2011."Employees're now so deluged with messages that emails have become a broken business tool in urgent need of fixing. There's been no innovation

By: Damian Sofsian One important accessory for a smoker is a cigarette lighter. With a cigarette case, a holder and a lighter, smoking becomes a more satisfying experience. As is the case with holders and cases, the lighter is once more a predominant accessory which speaks about a personality to the world.A cigarette lighter is basically a metal or plastic container which contains lighter fluid, like naphtha or liquid butane, under pressure. It also has a means of ignition and provision for extinguishing the flame. Common ways to extinguish the flame are by depriving a lighter of either air or fuel.Given the simple mechanism of a lighter, there are various types, designs and forms of lighters available in the market. Cigarette lighter designs today range from the stylish and creative t

There isn’t much hiding the fact that cigarette smoking isn’t a healthy lifestyle choice. Life insurance underwriters treat smoking the way they do for very solid reasons. It causes cancer. Cancers it doesn’t cause, it makes worse. It’s linked to heart disease. Now a massive study that involved 1.2 million people shows that people who smoke are 44% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. And the more you smoke, the better the chance of developing diabetes. People that smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day were 61% more likely. While researchers stopped short of saying that smoking causes diabetes, two lines of thought came from the study. One is that smoking may be more common in those who have a lifestyle that would lead toward diabetes. Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are noted risk factors. The other is an older study that showed a link between smoking and insulin resistance. Bottom line. From a life insurance standpoint, diabetes or not, smoking is going to

By: malo According to a 2006 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 22% of high school students in American smoke cigarettes everyday. In fact, even if the study indicated that smoking had already declined over the last four years, the statistics still show that one in five Americans still smoke cigarettes. A 2005 study revealed that more than 20% of adults in the United States are smokers. While smoking rates among high school students have been on a decline since 1997, the rate of teenagers who smoke is equal to, and in some cases, higher than that of adults. The younger the individuals start smoking, the more likely that they will continue smoke as an adult. Given these figures, it is not surprising that smoking is the leading cause of premature deaths in the United States. The question is still begging to be asked: Why do teens smoke? Is it because of the influence of media or because they get the habit from adults who smoke? Studies show that many teena

BRADFORD, Pa. (AP) -- Zippo Manufacturing Co. has trademarked the rectangular shape of its famous cigarette lighters and is demanding that retailers take imitations off their shelves by June 30.Zippo was founded in 1932. The trademark granted late last year prevents other manufacturers from using a rectangular case like the one the company founder developed, the company said Friday in a statement. The statement did not explain why the company waited to announce the trademark.More than 375 million Zippo lighters, which became standard issue to American GIs in 1943, have been produced in Bradford over the past 70 years.Blaisdell created the Zippo lighter after obtaining the rights to an Austrian windproof lighter with a removable top.

Do you think your only risk of cigarette smoking is lung cancer? Think again. Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer. Learn more about this disease and why you should quit smoking now.When one thinks of cigarette smoking and cancer, one typically thinks of lung, mouth, or larynx cancer. However, there are other cancers caused by cigarette smoking, such as bladder cancer. Approximately 53,000 people are diagnosed with the disease each year.The greatest risk factor for bladder cancer is smoking. Smokers are more than twice as likely to get bladder cancer as nonsmokers. Caucasians are two times more likely than non-Caucasians to develop bladder cancer, and men are four times more likely than women to develop the disease. Risks also increase with age.How do the carcinogens in

Breathing tobacco smoke is bad for cardiovascular health, and drinking alcohol at the same time only makes it worse, in spite of the reputed heart-protective qualities of moderate alcohol consumption. Mice exposed to smoky air and fed a diet containing alcohol had a nearly five-fold increase in artery lesions. Mice on a normal diet who were exposed to the smoky air had only a 2.3-fold increase in artery lesions. Artery lesions are a key sign of advancing cardiovascular disease, and a common problem in heavy smokers. The blood-alcohol concentrations of the mice were the equivalent of a 150-pound adult consuming 2 drinks per hour, and they experienced cigarette smoke exposure similar to being in an automobile with a chain smoker, with the windows closed.

Tobacco smoke-filled air is bad for cardiovascular health, and drinking alcohol at the same time only makes it worse.

The conclusion was that mice exposed to [...]

Today is the third Thursday in November, and it means 31st Great American Smokeout Day is here. This is an annual event in the US that occurs every November for the past 30 years, and encourages smokers to snuff out their cigarettes for at least one day, in hope they will quit forever.As for me, yes, I didn’t puff that much but indulged occasionally. Being simply curious and young, I didn’t say “no” when was offered a try. Did I like it? Well, I should say “I didn’t”, but honestly, yep, I liked it. Smoking became something like a ritual for me and I learned to smoke through a stylish cigarette holder, so it looked really feminine and even attractive. But I decided that all those health and sexual problems smoking can cause wouldn't be attractive and managed not to get dependent. At first, I had a ciggy once a week, then once a month, once/twice a year and then I got absolutely free from it.Six months later, I met one of my men who turned out a real chimney. He couldn’t

 Cross posted on Grizzly Groundswell Cross posted on Political Grind  The Democrat congress is now attempting to pass a tax increase that will disproportionately affect the poor. I am talking about a significant increase on the federal tax on cigarettes. House and Senate negotiators are trying to craft a veto-proof version of the bill. President Bush says he would veto it because it calls for a 61 cents-per-pack increase in the federal excise tax on cigarettes, taking it to $1.  What smokers will be hurt the most by this tax? Poor smokers of course. The group liberal Democrats are supposedly trying to help. Do you think Sean Penn will be affected by this tax? I don’t think so. The average American smoker will also be hurt by this. I am so sick and tired of Democrats trying to say they represent the middle class only to raise our taxes. While the cigarette tax doesn’t affect me, as a non-smoker, except for an occasional cigar, once the doorway to taxes is open, more are s

Chemical dependency can result from many things: alcohol, caffeine, illegal drugs like cocaine, legal drugs like pain killers. But one of the most difficult dependencies to break is also one of the most common : smoking. The body becomes addicted to the nicotine in tobacco. Now, researchers may have found an important link in the brain to smoking addiction.Scientists at the University of Southern California and the University of Iowa studied thirty-two former smokers. All of the men and women had brain injuries as a result of strokes.Half of them reported that they were able to give up cigarettes quickly and easily after they suffered the brain damage. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that twelve of those sixteen patients had suffered damage to a part of the brain called the insula.The insula is found near the ear. Experts believe it somehow brings together emotional experience and sensory information with some activities like breathing. Experiments have suggested that the insula has

Researchers have found a new blood test that identifies levels of carbon monoxide in a person to determine whether someone is a smoker or not.The device, pulse cooximeters detects levels of carbon monoxide in patients and firefighters, a U.S. study found. It can also be used to detect carbon monoxide levels in people who smoke, thus educating patients about the effects of smoking. Study author Dr. Sridhar P. Reddy of St. Clair Pulmonary and Critical Care, St. Clair, Mich., said, "It starts a conversation to make people more and more aware of what smoking can do to them and to give them more information about why they should quit, instead of a boring sermon every time." If smokers knew their blood carbon monoxide levels, they might be more motivated to quit smoking or never start in the first place.

This article describes a medical study which revealed that the insula (a part of the brain) has a tremendous amount of influence over a smoker's urge to continue smoking. Many individuals with insula damage have quickly and easily stopped smoking as if they had simply forgotten the habit.I remember hearing an actor who I believe used to be addicted to cocaine tell an audience how he was able to rid himself of addiction. He said something along the lines of his being able to disconnect the action from a feeling of pleasure.Doctor Antonio Damasio had ideas on the insula being a place dedicated to feelings and emotion before studies were done confirming his theories. He was not involved in the study mentioned in the article, but he did say that, "It's really intriguing to think that disrupting this region breaks the pleasure feelings associated with smoking. It is immediate. It's not that they smoke less. They don't smoke, period."This new finding is in such early stages of being

  This is a case of what happens when you get greedy and over tax something. To sum it up beginning on July 1st of this year Tennessee raised the cigarette tax from .20 cents a pack to .62 cents a pack. There are eight states that border Tennessee and all of them have much lower cigarette taxes. Naturally Tennessee residents are crossing the border to save up to .45 cents a pack.   Cigarette taxes aren’t designed to help smokers quit as the liberals would have you believe, they are just an opportunity for liberals to make a profit off of an addiction. If they truly wanted you to quit smoking they would ban cigarettes, but they won’t because the money is too good.   Tennessee raised the taxes so high that many, many Tennessee residents are going elsewhere for their cigarettes, and that is where the problem lies. Tennessee has so over taxed cigarettes they are now losing too much money to other states, and they can’t have that. The idea is for the monitoring agent

The government stated its seriousness in facing the United States legislation that prohibits clove cigarette as considered containing flavor. The clove cigarette ban included in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) bill is regarded as discriminative and not in line with the World Trade Organization's (WTO) provision.According to Imam, the growth of clove cigarette is increasing from year to year. Clove cigarettes are a new trend abroad. "It's the tendency of the youth who like something new, now they're bored with ordinary cigarettes," he said.Up to March 2007, the total of Indonesia's cigarette and processed tobacco reached around US$102 million or Rp958.8 billion.

In response to the recent report that cigarette sales have dropped significantly since the passage of steep tobacco taxes last November, Nadine Basha and her First Things First Coalition have announced their new target: Bacon.“We’re still going after smokers,” said Nadine, wife of famous grocer and former gubernatorial candidate Eddie Basha, “but now, we’re going after another smoked product that’s bad for you – bacon.”“These are kids we are talking about,” said a campaign consultant for the First Things First group, “Why not tax the fatties to pay for childhood education. It only makes sense, plus, we are staying away from liquor so we won’t have well funded opposition.”The bacon tax is seen as a stop gap measure to pay for lagging tobacco sales. Once the program is established, it will start to seep into the general fund expenditures over the years because of the fact that it was voter approved. “Its great and all that people are smoking less,” said Sue

I am not a smoker, but a couple of my friends do.  Some of them occasionally complain about money problem to me, so I was wondering what their smoking habit is costing them.  I am not going to ask any of them to stop, but I hope this post will help them move in the right direction. My first step was to figure out what a pack of cigarette costs.  I went to a grocery store in my neighborhood and the cashier told me it is $6.75 a pack.  I was shocked — that is expensive.  I am not going to assume that this is what my friends paid, so I will use a more conservative $5 a pack (or 25 cents a cigarette). If a smoker can reduce his consumption by just 1 cigarette per day, that translates into $91.25 year.  Most of my smoking friends smoke about half a pack a day — that’s over $900 a year! Here are some cool factoids: Invest $900 a year at 10% and you have over $160,000 in 30 years Life insurance costs more than twice as much for smokers versus non-smoker.  I checke

Overtime people have forgotten that The Flintstones, while animated, was not directed towards children. Rather, it was the first primetime animated series for adult (take that Homer Simpson). Way back when, it was also acceptable to have cigarette ads on TV endoresed by popular TV characters. So this animated Flintstones ad for Winston cigarettes really isn’t a surprise in that regard. However, in today’s uber-PC-must-protect-children-from-all-harm-no-matter-what-you-will-have-no-fun world, this would be quite the shock.  That’s why Barney only gets to steal Fred’s breakfast cereal now.  Stealing food is a much better message to send the children.

[Note- this entry is about a month old now due to lack of internet connection at new flat]I look at the room around me, the cigarette butts in a glass of only three quarters empty Jack Daniels and coke, the empty bottles of vodka, the clothing and makeup strewn in between empty wine glasses. The crumpled packets of Marlboro lights; the crate of empty beer bottles. I walk into my room. The bed’s a mess, the light’s still on from when I passed out at five am, Friends is frozen on the screen of my laptop and a large glass of water is sitting untouched beside the bed. I remember flashes of the night. A tall black guy approaching me at the crowded bar of some dimly lit club or other. His arm around my waist, deep voice whispering in my ear. “Come on baby, come with me, you’re dynamite.” I didn’t even pause to think “who even says that?”- I was past far too drunk and into totally out of my depth. I was in the sort of state where leaving with a guy isn’t something you

A new UCLA study shows that at least 100 of the 599 documented cigarette additives have “pharmacological” actions, many of which enhance or maintain the delivery of nicotine and may increase the addictiveness of cigarettes. As lawmakers debate whether to allow federal regulation of tobacco products, the study’s findings point to a need for regulation of cigarette additives as well. Researchers investigated tobacco industry documents and other sources for evidence of possible pharmacological and chemical effects of tobacco additives. The study found that 100 of the 599 documented cigarette additives had pharmacological actions that camouflage the negative impact of smoke in the environment by masking odour, visibility and irritation (without equivalent efforts to decrease the harmful effects of second-hand smoke); enhance or maintain nicotine delivery; and mask symptoms and illnesses associated with smoking behaviours (many botanical and other additives have anesthetic, antibacte

There are many urgent articles in the press on the danger of smoking for the health of people, espessially those who are considered to be secondhand smokers. Despite the fact that there are many warnings concerning this phenomena and the fact that many countries continue being careless about secondhand smoking, there are forecasts about having more and more smoke-free zones in our planet in the near future.The fact is that many people today acquire deseases only because they are forced to bear a smoker at their working places, recreational areas and different public places. A survey, conducted in Oregon by the Multnomah County Health Department and Oregon Department of Human Services shows upsetting results, as it revealed that those people who work among smokers are more inclined to get lung cancer than others. The reason why it happens is a high level of carcinogen NNK in the organism which causes cancer no matter whether that person smokes or not. According to that research secondh

Framework Convention on Tobacco Control is taking strong action that will improve health and save millions of lives around the world.The actions taken this week truly move the process of implementing this life-saving treaty forward and represent a giant step in turning the promise of the treaty into reality.In particular, nations have taken the following important actions:-- Nations adopted an international standard for protection from secondhand smoke that calls on governments to enact laws requiring 100 percent smoke-free workplaces and public places. This standard is what science recommends and will guide nations in meeting their treaty commitments to protect citizens from secondhand smoke. We call on governments to quickly enact comprehensive smoke-free laws that implement the new global standard.-- Nations agreed to fund and launch expedited negotiations on a binding protocol, or side agreement to the treaty, to combat illicit trade in tobacco products. This protocol is critical

Could it be that they were all being greased by the tobacco industry. Naaaa…that couldn’t be.

Sometimes you read something that just strikes you as so ironic. Under bills now wending through Washington, FDA would be empowered to approve cigarette makers’ marketing claims if a tobacco product is scientifically proven to “significantly reduce harm” to smokers, and the product’s availability would benefit the “health of the population as a whole,” the WSJ reports.

I'm glad because I'd never quit if I had cigarettes to smoke. I'm not happy because it's going to be hard to be on the computer or drive without smoking. :-( Here's what I found a minute ago: "How Quickly Do the Benefits of Quitting Start?" * "Just 20 minutes after your last cigarette, your blood pressure and pulse rate drop to normal and the body temperature of your hands and feet increases

Cory Doctorow: I just finished listening to the 3-CD Allen Ginsberg Audio Collection -- I was mostly interested in the classics like Howl and Kaddish, Pull My Daisy and Don't Grow Old, but the poem that totaly took me away was "Put Down Your Cigarette Rag," a poetic song that can make me laugh, dance, and sing along even after about 20 listens. It's also totally stuck in my head and I find myself singing it under my breath as I walk down the street. Here's a video of Ginsberg performing the piece on the AllenGinsberg.org site: Communism's flopped Let's help the Soviet millions Sell 'em our Coffin-Nails & make a couple billions Big Bucks Big Bucks bucks bucks bucks bucks smoke smoke smoke smoke smoke Bucks smoke bucks Dope bucks big Dope Bucks Dig Big Dope Bucks Big Dope Bucks dont smoke big dope bucks Dig big Pig dope bucks Nine billion bucks a year a Southern Industry Buys Senator Jesse Fear who pushes Tobacco su

I would like to see the rest of the country follow Maine's recent example: On Jan 19, a new cigarette reform law took effect in Maine's second largest city, Bangor. The law will prohibit smoking in a car with children. This gives Bangor police the authority to pull over a car within the city limits and give a fine of 50$ to anyone caught smoking with a passenger under 18 years old. The

Okay I’m not really excited about that but what can I do? Some friends I know have already started school.

and felt undefined possibility pulsing through my body, I was hooked. I knew I was meant to be a mama.submitted by anonymousMy period wasn't yet late and I was thinking of names, thinking how the hell to get out of the chaotic swirling mess of an abusive relationship I was in; thinking of how I could save my own girlchild from being raised a victim, how I could teach my boychild to solve problems without his fists. Already envisioning myself saved and reborn through the magic of birth. I had no idea that after the birth the work really began. Far from bestowing grace, birth is messy... it pushed me to the edge of strength, through terror and collapse and beyond death... into greater awareness: bigger lessons: harder work.On that first night home, alone with a wailing newborn, exhausted from 18 hours of labor and 2 days without sleep, I was walking into walls and to this day I can't remember if I ever thought to nurse my babe. Maybe I did... maybe I knew just what to do... but that'
