CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) in April and then called for a national anti-smoking movement in the United States for the entire region to reduce the number of deaths from smoking lung by more than 400,000 people a year. CDC expects the adoption of policies to control, prevent to stop smoking are enforced uniformly throughout the United States.

The CDC estimates that 46 million adult smokers in the U.S. smoke cigarettes, and deaths due to smoking reached approximately 443,000 people a year. In the state of West Virginia, the number of adult smokers reached 26.5%, in Indiana 26%, Kentucky 25.2%, Missouri 25%, and 24.7% Oklahoma. Towards the end of 2, this decline also proves winning the government’s efforts in combating smoking.

CDC also inform the number of adult smokers in the U.008, the percentage of adult smokers in the United States fell below 20%. This decrease is the first time this has happened, or at least since the mid-1960s. On the one handS. continues to decline, namely in 2007 to 19.8% from 20.8% in the previous year.

While this is very good news, Matthew McKenna, MD, MPH, director of the CDC’s Division of Tobacco and Health, still regrets that the death rate from smoking is still rising. He reported that nearly one in five American adults who smoke. Even many former smokers who end up helpless and then return to the bad habit again.
Tom Glynn, PhD, Director of the International Cancer Control at the American Cancer Society, commented that the report showed a big improvement. Even that figure is the lowest figure since the late 1920s.

In the report mentioned decrease in smoking prevalence occurred in the age group 18 years and over. This age group record highs in 1965 with the percentage of smokers at 42.4%. That number then dropped below 30% for the first time in 1987 with the percentage of smokers reached 28.8% of the total smokers in the United States. Decrease in number of smokers is expected related to the application of high cigarette taxes and the issuance of rules and regulations adopted smoking rooms in most of the work environment in addition to the health counseling.

The composition, in 2007 at Uncle Sam’s Country 22.3% of smokers were male adults and 17.4% were adult women. African Americans who smoke reach as much as 19.8% and 21.4% were Whites.

Smoking Effects on Lungs and Your Body

Smoking has a wide variety of health effects and can affect just about every organ in the body. But one of the organs that is most directly affected is the lungs. This is maybe not surprising as this is the organ in direct contact with cigarette smoke. The lungs are organs of respiration. They are designed to carry air that contains oxygen and pass this oxygen to the blood stream. Everybody has two lungs that are divided into lobes.

Most of the people who are smoking addicts can be easily recognized as they have really dirty looking teeth and gums. This is one of the most common and apparent symptoms of smoking. Among all the other forms of cancer, the cancer of the mouth and the throat has a lot to do with smoking. Apart from this, smoking is also responsible for a number of gum diseases. More than Â¾ of the gum diseases are caused by the addiction of smoking and gum diseases account for a major chunk of the oral complications. Studies conducted in various parts of the world have brought this statistics into light. Therefore, now the doctors are trying to scare away people from the butt using this new piece of information. However, the interesting fact is that gum diseases resulting from smoking is not a new revelation but the colossal degree in which this addiction is hiking gum diseases is definitely an eye opener. The studies have also proved that about 32% of the gum ailments could be averted and even eradicated if only there was ‘No smoking’.

Australia is one of those countries that successfully transformed from one of the most smoking prevalent countries to the one with lowest rates of smoking. Still it registered a huge number of people with gum diseases. The condition was worse in the countries where people are at the “butt’s end” like the USA, the UK and the third world countries. In countries like Australia where smoking has not been able to hold a spell over the people to the extent it has in other parts of the world, the people with a lower socio economic status are increasingly growing addicts to smoking. So this is indeed a victory for this dangerous addiction. People ranging from the adolescents to middle aged are increasingly taking to smoking. Doctors also claimed that if these people gave up smoking early, they could get rid of the probability of developing gum diseases to a great extent. Efforts are being made in order to drive away the habit or rather the addiction of smoking. Not only the gum ailments even the other smoking induced ailments can be minimized if a farewell is given to smoking.

Bans and awareness are the two measures that have been taken in order to get a grip over smoking. Though they have been effective in curbing the ill effects of smoking on the environment and have considerably cut down on the rate of second hand smoking active smoking is still at a high. And because active smoking persists, the smoking related diseases are also at a high. Quit smoking pill Chantix is one drug that has been increasingly used for the purpose of getting rid of this habit. Pfizer chantix is available online; there are online websites from where you can buy chantix online on getting the prescription. However, certain cases have been registered against this medicine as it has shown some serious side effects such as suicidal tendencies among the users hence it is advised that you always buy chantix on doctor’s advice and prescription.

The Best Electric Cigarette — From a Smoker of 23 Years

As a smoker for more than 23 years, I, due to some recent family medical conditions, decided that I would seriously begin to work my way off dangerous cigarettes. Of course, I have said this many times before, and though I’ve tried and tried and tried, I can’t say that I have had a lot of success. But the truth is, I am now in a position in life where making the right choices is necessary. And the way I decided to address smoking is through a three stage process.

Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy London want to position smoking as the enemy of family. This recent campaign focuses very strongly on addressing the needs of the Routine & Manual target group whose smoking prevalence is significantly higher than the national average. The key was to find an approach they could not escape from. Often living in same area that they grew up in, they enjoy spending time with their family and often this is more important than spending time with their friends. This campaign was a radical departure from the tonality of previous anti-smoking messages and each execution was subverted by a twist at the end of the ad. The idea was supported by a range of evidence but, in particular, it was the fact that children are 3 times more likely to become smokers if their parents smoke (NHS). This then allowed MCBD to draw on the irrefutable truth that kids will inherently copy their parents as they grow up.

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) embarked on a major 50 state anti-smoking effort (www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/04/22/cdc.smoking.report/index.html). The thrust of the program is to enhance public education and to develop a national anti-smoking policy. Simply stated, the goal is to reduce the death count (and related illnesses) from smoking in the United States. Currently some 444,000 people die annually from direct and indirect tobacco diseases.

Men still dominate the statistics with about 270,000 fatalities per year (averaged between 2000 and 2004); female deaths totaled 174,000 during the same period.

This means that during an average 10-year period, nearly 4.5 million people in the U.S. alone will die prematurely due to the use of cigarettes.

Results globally are equally staggering. According to a study led by researchers at the University of Queensland and the Harvard School of Public Health, around 5 million people died from smoking-related causes in 2000. Men were even more likely than women to succumb to smoking-related diseases. In developing countries, for example, more than 80 percent of deaths were among men.

While these numbers are impressive, consider adjusting them to an hourly time frame. Using an average of 365.25 days per year (incorporating leap years), an average year has 8766 hours. This means that almost 51 people die due to smoking every hour in the U.S. That’s about one person every minute.

Globally, the smoking-related death toll is around 570 people per hour or almost 10 people per minute.

Smoking does more than kill, however. Statistics amassed by the American Cancer Society (ACS) and others show that smoking brings along many other negatives (e.g., reduced quality of life, shortened life spans, loss of productivity, increased sick days, greater risk of heart and lung disease and increased risks associated with pregnancy and childhood illnesses).

In fact, in 2000, the CDC estimates that about 8.6 million people were suffering from at least one chronic disease due to current or former smoking. Many of these people were actually suffering from more than one smoking-related condition – chronic bronchitis, emphysema, heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

Thus, the efforts to curtail smoking are based on a solid health footing.

But, the CDC anti-smoking effort provides other insight into smoking across the U.S. Using a “smoking prevalence” index (the percentage of people in each state who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and currently smoke regularly), the CDC found that the region from the Great Lakes to the Mississippi-Alabama Gulf Coast and from the Appalachians to the Mississippi River fared the worst. West Virginia topped the scales at 26.5 percent. But, Indiana (26 percent), Kentucky (25.2 percent), Missouri (25 percent) and Oklahoma (24.7 percent) led the Nation. Utah (9.3 percent) and California (14 percent) had the lowest smoking incidence.

Many of the lowest smoking states used one or more of the stop/prevent smoking strategies that the CDC has outlined in the past. These include increasing the price of tobacco products, enacting and enforcing smoke-free laws, curtailing tobacco advertising and promotion, enacting anti-smoking media campaigns, limiting access to tobacco products and encouraging and offering assistance to smokers to quit.

Further testimony to reducing cigarette use is linked to groups that promote nonsmoking as part of their religion. Mormons and Seventh-day Adventists have much lower rates of lung and other smoking-related cancers than most other groups

Quitting pays generous dividends, too. The CDC notes that the risk of developing most smoking illnesses lowers the longer one quits and younger one is when they do quit. In fact, people who stop smoking at younger ages gain the greatest benefits. Quitting by age 35 eliminates 90% of the risk due to tobacco use. Still, as the CDC notes, “The argument that ‘it is too late to quit smoking because the damage is already done,’ is not true.”

The message is clear – smoking is hazardous to your life; quitting (or never starting) is better for you, your loved ones, your friends and your co-workers.

Information on Lung Cancer

When you breathe in, air passes from your nose or mouth through the windpipe (trachea), which divides into two tubes (airways), one going to each lung. These are known as the right and left bronchus and they divide to form smaller tubes called bronchioles, which carry air through the lungs.

Combating Illicit Tobacco Products

Manjari Peiris

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, India, jointly organized a two-day Regional Workshop on Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products from 15-16 September 2008 in New Delhi. Delegates from SEARO countries attended this meeting and the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, India, Dr.Anbumani Ramadoss formally inaugurated this workshop and said that the Indian Government will make a blanket on smoking in government or private offices, public places from October 2nd this year. Mandatory pictorial warnings on tobacco products too will appear from November 30th this year.

He added that enough resources would be provided to control tobacco. “Money collected through surcharge on tobacco products is proposed to be used for tobacco control activities such as awareness campaigns, alternate cropping, establishment of labs, alternate employment for tobacco growers etc.” said Ramadoss.

Illicit trade in tobacco products not only undermines the government’s effort to raise taxes and investing the same in relevant social programmes, but also hampers the control of tobacco supply chain by making available cheaper tobacco products.

The two-day regional workshop was organized jointly by the World Health Organization, Framework Convention Alliance (FCA) and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. India is one among the foremost countries to sign and ratify the WHO-Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) which enlists key strategies for reduction in demand and supply of tobacco products. Sri Lanka was the first Asian country and the fourth in the world to ratify the FCTC.

Death caused by the tobacco around the world has touched 5.4 million each year, and is projected to rise to eight million by 2030. If the current trends are not checked, tobacco will claim around one billion lives this century.

The specific objectives of holding this workshop were to review and assess countries capacity to control illicit trade in tobacco products, to identify key actions in the Region to support countries in their efforts to develop and implement measures to control illicit trade in tobacco products, including the role of WHO and other international organizations in this area and to review the text for the Draft Protocol to the Convention on Illicit Trade In Tobacco Products issued by the chairman of INB.

The Regional Workshop aimed to raise awareness regarding serious and adverse health consequences of illicit trade in tobacco products. Illicit trade includes smuggling, evasion of Central Excise duties/taxes and counterfeits. Each one of these undermines the efforts of Governments to collect taxes due on tobacco products. The lost taxes could have been used for national programmes including tobacco control initiatives. The illicit trade leads to availability of tobacco products at cheaper prices. Most countries in this region are grappling with the problem of illicit trade in tobacco products. There is also a realization that Governments need to work together to address this serious concern. The WHO – Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the first global health treaty and it identifies key demand and key supply reduction strategies. The elimination of illicit trade is one such supply reduction strategy. However, the effective implementation of FCTC provisions will require binding obligations among countries as also a firm commitment for international cooperation.

Financial support to hold this Workshop was provided by the Framework Convention Alliance (FCA).

Dr. Vinayak M. Prasad, Director, Ministry of Health, Government of India, explained the Key Elements/Strategies to Control Illicit Trade, including importance of International Cooperation.

What is Illicit Trade?

Any practice or conduct prohibited by law and which relates to production, shipment, receipt, possession, distribution, sale or purchase including any practice or conduct intended to facilitate such activity will be illicit trade. The term “Illicit trade” is broad and it includes Illicit Manufacturing, Smuggling and Counterfeiting. Smuggling involves transaction across international border. Illicit manufacturing involves transaction within national boundaries and could include mis-declaration or evasion of duties/domestic taxes. Counterfeits may be both national/trans-national, with or without the involvement of manufacturers/ producers.

Article 15 of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) recognizes elimination of illicit trade as essential to tobacco control and suggests legislative, executive, administrative and other measures e.g. Marks and Numbers, tracking and tracing, exchange of information etc. The FCTC recognizes the need for elimination of all forms of illicit trade, development / Implementation of national laws and sub-regional/regional/global agreements. The Conference of Parties to FCTC (COP1) identified control of illicit trade as one of the first areas for development of protocol.

The WHO-FCTC came into force in February 2005 (>3 years) with the recognition that the implementation of Article 15 will require more comprehensive and binding obligations. COP2 (June 2007) decided to establish INB for negotiating the 1st protocol under this treaty viz. Protocol on Illicit Trade in Tobacco.

Dr Douglas Bettcher, Director, Tobacco Free Initiative, World Health Organization, addressing this workshop said that from a public health perspective illicit trade in tobacco products is a major concern because it leads to increased availability, accessibility and affordability of cigarettes especially for youth and the poor. Illicit trade undermines the impact of tobacco control measures in general and any measures to prevent children to consume tobacco. Also it increases health inequalities among populations as cheaper products encourage tobacco use among low income groups.

Illicit tobacco products increase premature tobacco attributable deaths and diseases. The largest share of tobacco attributable disease burden is borne by low-income households and less-developed countries.

– highest prevalence rate

– highest proportion of family income spent on tobacco

– least amount of knowledge on risks borne by tobacco use

– worst access to smoking cessation help

By 2030, 83% of all tobacco attributable deaths will occur in developing countries (Mathers et al. 2006)

A 10% price increase reduces smoking as much as 8% in low or middle-income countries and 4% in high-income countries.

• Evidence from Thailand (Sartinsart, 2003) suggests that low-income groups can be 4 times more responsive to price changes than high income groups, particularly in urban areas.

• Illicit products are 25% to 30% cheaper than legally imported brands (Joossens, 1999)

• This will therefore increase smoking prevalence and consumption most among the price-sensitive poor, and low or middle-income countries.

• Misguided government policy responses to smuggling (e.g. reducing taxes) may contribute to health inequality.

• Tobacco use is a marker of social inequity.

• Tobacco use is unequally distributed in the population. Patterns of inequity of distribution of tobacco use have been seen across income, age, ethnic groups and by gender.

From a public health perspective illicit trade in tobacco products is a major concern, because it leads to:

• Increased availability, accessibility & affordability of cigarettes especially for youth and the poor

– Undermining the impact of tobacco control measures in general

– Undermining tobacco control measures to prevent children to consume tobacco

– Increasing health inequalities among populations as cheaper products encourage tobacco use among low-income groups

• Increased premature tobacco attributable deaths and diseases

• Evidence also shows differential health consequences of tobacco use across different groups of population.

• Progress in tobacco control is also disproportionately distributed, with the richest and most socially advantaged enjoying the most efficacious implementation of tobacco control interventions.

• Efforts to prevent and control tobacco consumption among disadvantaged groups are not likely to succeed outside of an integrated approach that seeks to reduce the underlying social inequities that predispose these groups to tobacco use and confer on them a relative disadvantage in accessing cessation services.

• To achieve the optimal impact from the WHO FCTC, it is critical to develop enforcement mechanisms for the key WHO FCTC elements that assure equitable coverage of the most disadvantaged sectors of society.

• In particular, with regards to taxation and illicit trade, action needs to be taken to reduce disparities.

Illicit tobacco and the young

• They are more sensitive to prices and a e 10% price increase may increase cessation by as much as 9% among young smokers (Chaloupka et al., 2003)

• The young are more brand conscious – most smuggled cigarettes are well-known brands (Joossens, 1999)

• Smuggled cigarettes are sold on the streets, near schools where underage have easier access (Joossens, 1999)

• Lesser developed countries tend to have larger young populations, and may be disproportionately affected by smuggling Industry myths about Illicit Trade.

• Price and tax increases are the main drive for large scale illicit trade in tobacco products

• 1- It has been long believed that tobacco control is a rich countries luxury. However, evidence has showed that a number of developing countries have successfully implemented strong tobacco control measures and reduced consumption. We will see later that tobacco control is actually relatively cheap to implement and usually cheaper in developing countries.

• 2- TC reduces government revenues: if consumption reduces, government revenues from tobacco taxes should reduce as well. In reality, the price elasticity of demand is inelastic. This means that consumption will reduce to a lesser extent than the increase in prices; this leaves room for government revenues to increase even with a reduction in demand.

• 3- In the last decade or so, tobacco employment has been declining due to increase in efficiency and technology gains. This was not at all related with tobacco control.

• 4-TC increases smuggling: smuggling is a result of tax avoidance. A tax increase can encourage bootlegging, but not necessarily large scale illicit trade. Taxes are an incentive for illicit trade, but other factors are important such as corruption, ready supply, irresponsible exporting etc.

• 5- Taxes are regressive on the poor, because they are applied equally to all levels of the society. This may be true, but it is important to note that the poor are the ones who react the most to price increases by reducing their consumption. So a tax increase can actually be progressive on the poor.

Illicit tobacco’s bottom line

• Revenue loss leads to smaller budget for government programs (including public health)

• Higher costs of combating organized crime and corruption also squeezes budget (Joossens, 1999)

• Higher direct health costs from increased consumption (especially the poor and the young)

• Increasing health burden

Six proven policies to reverse the tobacco epidemic

To monitor tobacco use and prevention policies

To protect people from tobacco smoke:

To offer help to quit tobacco use

To warn about the dangers of tobacco

Enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship

Raise taxes on tobacco (including combating illicit trade)

Raising taxes and smuggling rates

• Increasing cigarette taxes and improving anti-smuggling law enforcement would significantly increase government revenues, while decreasing global cigarette consumption and smuggling activities.

• The enforcement level plays a significant role in controlling the worldwide smuggling activities, and also reduces global consumption.

– if a tax increase is not accompanied by an improvement in law enforcement, then the level of global smuggling would increase, but governments would still enjoy increased tax revenues (even with increased smuggling).

– Government commitment is the key for success

Parties to the Framework Convention are negotiating and drafting a new, legally binding protocol on illicit trade that will fight smuggling and counterfeiting as part of global efforts to reverse the tobacco epidemic. This protocol should markedly increase coordination at the international level to address this important issue.

• Smuggling – involves transaction across international border.

• Illicit manufacturing – involves transaction within national boundaries and could include mis-declaration or evasion of duties/domestic taxes.

• Counterfeit – may be both national/trans-national, with or without the involvement of manufacturers/ producers.

• Article 15 Recognizes elimination of illicit trade as essential to tobacco control.

• Suggests legislative, executive, administrative and other measures e.g. Marks and Numbers, tracking & tracing, etc. and it recognizes the need for elimination of all forms of illicit trade.

• Development / Implementation of national laws.

• Sub-regional/regional/global agreements.

The Conference of the Parties (COP1) identified control of illicit trade as one of the first areas for development of protocol exchange of information etc.

• WHO-FCTC came into force in February 2005 (>3 years) having had recognized that the implementation of Article 15 will require more comprehensive and binding obligations.

COP2 (June 2007) decided to establish INB for negotiating the 1st protocol under this treaty viz. Protocol on Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products.

Strategies to control Illicit Trade

It is NOT A CUSTOMS ISSUE. It needs diverse strategies/multi-sectoral issues such as Information/data from agriculture/industry/ revenue, Control of supply chain, sharing of intelligence/ Cooperation between agencies within the country/with other countries.

Rational Government policy

– Taxation & Trade:

WTO bound rate (150% and 100%)

– Imposition of tariff barriers /non tariff barriers ( contrary to WTO/GATT principles) e.g. control of supply chain through licensing

– Supply Chain Control

– License Enforcement, offences, Sanctions- penalty provisions, Search and seizure provisions, Seizure payments, Destruction, Special investigative techniques, Customer identification and verification, Tracking and Tracing, Record Keeping, Security and Preventive measures.

– International Cooperation

– Information sharing, Statistical data, Operational data, Assistance and cooperation, training, technical assistance, investigation and prosecution, Jurisdiction, Joint investigation, Law enforcement cooperation – MAA and MLA, Internet and other modes of sales.

– To control the supply chain licensing, facilitation of enforcement and provision of a database are required.

– Record keeping of tobacco farmers, tobacco products and key inputs or manufacturing equipment used for manufacture of tobacco products is required.

– Security and Preventive measures

– Measures to prevent diversion to illicit trade channels e.g. suspension or cancellation of license, prohibit intermingling of tobacco products with other products, reporting of cross border transfer of cash/negotiable instruments; payment only by wire/cheque etc. are needed.

– TRACKING & TRACING

– “Tracking “is ability to monitor tobacco products from place of manufacture, through distribution chain, to intended market of retail sale.

– “Tracing” is ability to recreate route (Post audit/seizure) from place of manufacture, through distribution chain.

– The First Protocol/treaty under the Convention is being negotiated to regulate/prohibit illicit trade in tobacco products. The Parties to FCTC are at present negotiating the Protocol – a number of key elements that are proposed to be discussed in the next round of negotiations scheduled in October in Geneva.

– It is expected that there will be greater awareness and experience, sharing of issues and challenges in the SEARO Region as also support for the Protocol on Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products.

At this workshop it was mentioned that cigarettes worth of 13.5 million have entered into the Sri Lankan market illicitly in 2005. The detections of illegal imports by Sri Lanka Customs in the recent past were reported to be;

n October 2007 – 21,704 Ctns

n December 2007 – 21,932 Ctns

n February 2008 – 6,764 Ctns

Also the following quantities of cigarettes have been destroyed;

n October 2007 – 4,340,920 sticks

n December 2007 – 4,386,560 sticks

n February 2008 – 1,356,800 sticks

The measures that Sri Lanka government has taken to control the Illicit Trade in Tobacco products are Education and Legislation.

The legislative measures are –

n involvement of governmental and National Authority on Tobacco and Alcohol Act, No.27 of 2006, Tobacco Tax Act, No. 8 of 1999, Customs Ordinance, Excise Ordinance on-governmental organizations.

There is considerable evidence that tobacco producers themselves assist wholesale smuggling in transporting tobacco products. Much of the organized criminal smuggling that accounts for the vast majority of cigarette smuggling worldwide has occurred with the knowledge of the major cigarette companies themselves and would not occur without their compliance. Cigarette company documents do not use the term “smuggling”, but instead use euphemisms or code words for the activities whose meaning is clear.

Smuggling has been an integral part of the business activities of global cigarette companies… these actions expand their markets and help them gain a competitive advantage over other cigarette companies. It has also been used by the cigarette companies to gain political leverage to persuade governments to reduce cigarette tax rates or duty fees. Recent data from tobacco industry documents show that roughly a third of all exported cigarettes worldwide continue to be diverted into smuggling supply lines with major international brands continuing to dominate.

There is a growing volume of evidence that the legal manufacturers of certain cigarettes have knowingly fostered and have consciously supported the illegal smuggling of their own brands. Although the major international cigarette companies make the same amount of profit on legal and illegal sales, they have several economic initiatives to smuggle. Through smuggling they can sell their brands in countries otherwise closed to them because of import bans or because tax rates and duty free make legal imports much more expensive than domestic brands. Smuggling expands the companies’ sales being much cheaper than all legally imported cigarettes sold in the country. By helping to keep overall cigarette prices down, smuggled cigarettes also help to increase overall sales.

Tobacco industry benefits from smuggling in several ways – smuggling stimulates consumption both directly and indirectly, threat of smuggling has been used to avoid trade barriers or force open new markets.

The international tobacco companies that incorporate smuggling penetrate the market through illegal imports, weaken the state monopoly by reducing the market share of domestic brands and legal role, convince the authorities to prioritize or open the market, authorize the legal import and or production of foreign brand and stop fuelling the illegal market and take over the market in a legal way.

Documents demonstrate that apparently legitimate duty free sales have provided an effective means of supplying smuggled cigarettes.

Stop Smoking Help – Nicotine Is A Powerful Negotiator

Many people are starters but not finishers. If only we could take something for commitment. Nicotine has proven its ability to transform people into finishers, albeit, not the kind you would want. Why has nicotine been so widely accepted into our society, despite the fact, it indirectly causes 20% of all deaths in America? It is the great negotiator. It exchanges simple feelings of satisfaction for a return invitation by the smoker, exposing them to a host of physical and emotional dependencies.

Reasons to Avoid Passive Smoking

It is thought that a non smoker who works alongside those who smoke may be at an increased risk or protracting lung disease, with this risk being possibly 30% greater than those non-smokers who work in a smoke free environment. These findings are leading to more and more national and local governments, as well as employers pushing for a ban on smoking in enclosed areas in the workplace.

This Is How I Gave Up Smoking

The TV adverts had caught my eye. NHS quit smoking packs were available free via calling a phone number of entering a form online. I filled out the form and within a week the pack arrived. My initail thoughts were far from complimentary. A calendar, stickers and a toy to keep my hands occupied. However the month chart intrigued me as it let me know how I would feel at certain stages of the giving up cycle.

The China Tobacco Death Trap

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – The China Tobacco Death Trap

if( ! $.cookie(“screen_name”)){$(‘#banner_signup_wide’).css(‘display’, ‘block’);}

China is the biggest tobacco market in the world. Not only has it the market it also has the biggest tobacco company on the globe. There are an estimated 350 million cigarette addicts in China. These are more than the total United States population. China produces 1.6 trillion cigarettes each year and of the tobacco cigarettes produced world wide 3% are consumed in this same country. Smoking prevalence in China is shocking. In fact the number of people who smoke is thought to increase by some 3 million each year.

What is worrying to anti tobacco activists is that China has a very ineffective or at least weak tobacco regulation regime. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says smoking is “the biggest preventable cause of death in China”. Up to 10000 people die each week due to smoking related illnesses. Nearly 700 000 annually. Due to government controlled and influenced tobacco marketing and production there is little incentive to regulate smoking. In fact the Chinese government enjoys a huge chunk of revenue from tobacco taxes.

Unlike the western world, smoking in bars, pubs and restaurants is still largely acceptable in China. One remarkable smoking ban albeit partial was the banning of smoking in schools and office buildings in the city during the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Bars, massage parlours and hotels were spared. Due to relaxed smoking regulations most of the world’s tobacco companies fleeing stinging smoking legislation in America and Europe have set up shop or at least partnerships in China.

It is no wonder incidences of lung cancer shot by up to 465% in the last 30 years. China is deeply sliding into the jaws of a terrible tobacco plague. Most people who try to quit smoking can hardly manage due to the sky high all about smoking prevalence.

A clinic in Beijing reported that out of 60 patients attended to only 3 were able to quit smoking. A shocking 5% success rate. This is no wonder. Smoking cessation needs total family and friends support. This is hard to come by in China were 60% of all males and 4% of females smoke. Even after quitting it will not be long before at home or at work one drowns in a pool of smokers quickly relapsing.

It appears therefore that the real solution is in government policy change. At a minimum tobacco companies should not be allowed to sponsor school projects as was the case in one province. After helping with reconstruction of earthquake destroyed builds a tobacco company was allowed to leave banners on elementary school walls encouraging school children to use tobacco.

From http://www.childhood-leukemia.com/news/us-cancer-rates-falling/

Overall, cancer death rates fell 2 percent per year from 2001 to 2005 in men and 1.6 percent per year from 2002 to 2005 in women. By comparison, between 1993 and 2001, overall death rates in men declined 1.5 percent per year and, between 1994 and 2002, 0.8 percent in women.

âWe continue to see a decrease in death rates from cancer in both men and women and this is mainly because of prevention – mostly a reduction in smoking rates; detection which includes screening for colorectal cancer, for breast cancer and for cervical cancer; and also improved treatment,â said report author Ahmedin Jemal, strategic director for cancer surveillance at the American Cancer Society.

âTo put this in perspective, the number of lives saved is more than the population of Washington, D.C.,â said Dr. Louis M. Weiner, director of the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University. âIn my mind, thatâs a cause for some celebration. However, there are some sobering trends that we have to be aware of. The death rate for cardiovascular disease has dropped much more dramatically over that period than has the death rate from cancer, indicating the difficulty of developing new strategies to reduce the incidence of cancer and also to treat it more effectively. This is a very complex set of diseases. While we have come a long way, we have a lot further to go.â

Hopefully, continued reductions in smoking rates, especially among women, should push cancer rates further down in the future, the researchers noted.

Although some 45 million Americans continue to smoke, for a prevalence rate of about 20 percent, âsmoking prevalence is going in the right direction,â Jemal said. âWeâre going to see a reduction in lung cancer death rates, although I donât know when it might be. In particular, we will see a reduction in cancer death rates among women thatâs going to drive [down] the overall cancer death rate.â

Better screening could also further fuel the trend. Only 50 percent of Americans over the age of 50 currently get regular screening for colorectal cancer, he said.

Here is a summary of the reportâs findings:

* In 2009, an estimated 1,479,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. (766,130 in men and 713,220 in women) and 562,340 people will die of the disease (292,540 men and 269,800 women). This means 1,500 deaths from cancer every day).

* Between 2001 and 2005, the incidence of cancer in men declined by 1.8 percent per year; from 1998 to 2005 the incidence rate in women dropped 0.6 percent per year. In men, the gains were largely as a result of decreases in the incidence of lung, prostate and colorectal cancer (the three most common cancers). In women, the decline was largely attributable to declines in both breast and colorectal cancer, the two most common tumor types in women.

* Cancer death rates dropped by 11.4 percent for women between 1991 and 2005, with a 37 percent decline in deaths from breast cancer and a 24 percent decrease in deaths from colorectal cancer.

* The three leading cancer killers in men are lung, prostate and colorectal cancer. In women, they are lung (accounting for 26 percent of all cancer deaths), breast and colorectal cancer.

* Men have a 44 percent chance of developing cancer during their lifetime and women a 37 percent chance, although women are more likely to have the disease earlier (before age 60).

* Lung cancer shows the greatest regional variation in cancer incidence, ranging from a low of 39.6 cases per 100,000 in men and 22.4 per 100,000 in women in Utah to 136.2 in men and 76.2 in women in Kentucky. These statistics correlate directly to smoking rates in the two states, with Utah having the lowest prevalence in adult smoking in the country, and Kentucky the highest.

* Blacks still assume a disproportionate share of the cancer burden, with black men being 18 percent more likely to develop cancer and 36 percent more likely to die. Black women have a 6 percent lower incidence rate but this is more than made up for with a death rate, which is 17 percent higher than that seen in white women.

* The five-year survival rate for children with cancer is now 80 percent, up from only 58 percent for those diagnosed in the mid-1970s. But cancer is still the second leading cause of death in youngsters aged 1 to 14 (after accidents), with leukemia being the most common cancer diagnosed.

* And in a special section, the report finds that cancer survivors are about 14 percent more likely to develop a new cancer than individuals who have never had a cancer diagnosis; almost 900,000 cancer survivors have been diagnosed with more than one cancer. Patients diagnosed with tobacco-related cancers, such as cancers of the oral cavity, lung, esophagus, kidney, and urinary bladder, have the highest risk for a second cancer because smoking is a risk factor for at least 15 types of cancer. Breast cancer survivors comprise almost half of women who develop a second cancer.

Unfortunately, cancer remains the leading killer (surpassing heart disease) for persons under 85, and one-quarter of deaths in the United States still come from cancer, the report stated.

âItâs good news that the death rates for the most common cancers are on the decline, but there are still too many Americans dying of cancer every year,â said Dr. Alan Astrow, director of medical oncology and hematology at Maimonides Cancer Center in New York City. âItâs troubling that African-Americans continue to experience higher rates of mortality from cancer than whites. Itâs also troubling that Americans with less education have higher death rates. There are continued high rates of deaths from lung cancer. Itâs hard to feel good about 160,000 Americans dying of lung cancer every year. Thatâs a disturbing statistics which we, as a nation, need to address.â

The report appears online and in the July/August print issue of CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.

Why Purchase Long Term Care Insurance and the Considerations Behind it

The major reasons why individuals purchase long term care insurance are to avoid depleting life savings to a nursing home long-stay and protect the savings and other assets of children and grandchildren. Another reason is to offset the costs of long-term care for couples with high income but have very limited assets.

Understanding Medicaid Coverage of Long Term Care

Medicaid is considered the country’s largest public payer of long-term care. Once a person is determined to be qualified for its coverage, this government-supported program will pay for the nursing home care and other expenditures Medicare does not cover.
