Smoking Cigarettes (tobacco) and Nutrition

This article is about nutrition in relation for smokers, the one who asked it me asked a good question, asking for nutrition instead of food. Please do read till the end!

Maybe for some people food is nutrition and vise versa however there’s a huge difference, medically seen, between food and nutrition. Simply said what we take in our mouth to eat (no candy or so but really eating) is food, if this food is nutritious depends on the food and on the way you and your body convert the food into nutrition.

You and your body, this seems to be odd but is an important factor. The audience I’m writing for are people from welfare countries and in our western world eating is often an “in-between-case”. You’re working and while working you eat quickly this happens much for example in a car too, you need to catch a meeting and eat quickly in your car. In such cases that you eat quickly I call that you food processing, you put food in your mouth and a lot of the food you swallow without chewing first, that’s bad and more bad for smokers. In this case the swallowed food goes to your stomach and is from there on further processed. I prefer in this case to write for us busy people “processed” instead of digest. A lot of smokers (non smokers too) are since way to long used to eat in a bad way whereby digestion became a smaller part than processing food. A lot of people even nearly digest nothing while that’s the most important part to get from food nutrition!

Digestion is breaking down the food in the nutritious components we need to have good food for a healthy life. Food, moreover nutrition is an underestimated factor in healthcare, it’s really time that we give eating and digestion a lot more attention then we’re used to do. This is of course all in general speaking maybe some smokers take very good care, or try or think it at least, about healthy living.

About food, the first step when buying something to eat, we need to forget fast food or junk food then you can say that at the paper is written which nutrition this junk food contains and I do not say that they’re wrong but what I do know is that you never get that nutrition because those junk food companies who try to get rid of their stigma that it’s bad food let their food being analyzed in a lab. The results from the lab and the nutrition you get from junk food is way more less.

I’m not a nutrition specialist in the pure medical way but what I do know very well just like all MD’s should know is that when you have a fresh carrot from the field, let it analyze by a lab let’s say (this are random numbers) that the lab measures 5mg pro vitamin A but when a health freak who eats perfect according the medical rules gets maybe 2.5mg pro vitamin A in the blood after digesting that carrot.

Usually we eat junk food very quickly and instead of digestion there’s almost only processing so the absorption of the nutritional levels mentioned by those junk food chains is almost zero that’s one of the reasons that there’re so much fat people, processed food becomes fat somewhere (can be everywhere at your body with not much change for hands and feet, in case your hands and or feet or more fat looking they probably contain water, consult your physician).

Another thing is when you really buy food certainly in our western industrialized countries I see often by people at home and even more in exquisite restaurants 70% meat, 20% vegetables and 10% ‘basic’ food like potatoes, rice, paste, couscous, etc… This is completely wrong!!

A note about meat. Although still no consensus whether we’re meat or vegetable (plant) eaters the majority of nutrition specialist agree that we don’t need meet at all. I agree with them too, I personally eat nearly no meat at all. I do eat meat when I’m for example in China invited for dinner and there’s a little chicken, I don’t eat a pound of meat in a year. Some people say that they eat no meat but fish however I classify fish by meat. Meat is simply from animals, other basic products come from plants and are for us vegetables or fruit, that’s what we need! There’s however a gray zone between plants and meat like eggs and milk that’s why there’re vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians, the latter also don’t use any product from an animal without to mention the mother milk which is underestimated important to feed her baby.

Anyway, I won’t be nagging about to stop eating meat what I highly advice you to the benefit of digestion, upgrading the nutrition level with the same amount of food, is to eat no more then 30% meat instead of 60 to 70% by a warm ‘healthy’ dish. But there’s more. Nearly all meat we eat is not straight from the cattle or whatever! Before meat is driven to the stores it’s in a very bad way processed. As an example, when having chicken filet of 50 gram then they inject it with lots of a kind of needles and add mainly water to it, the chicken piece swells and becomes 110gram. This also happens by complete chicken, you buy a grilled chicken of 1.2kg but you have about 450gram of real chicken. You might be thinking that the injected water disappear when a complete chicken is grilled but that’s not true however I’m no butcher and can’t go further into the processing of meat.

Anyway, I advice to eat no more than 30% of a warm dish as real unprocessed meat, how you can get unprocessed meat is a mystery to me, I think you can only obtain it from people who get the unprocessed meat. This all means that because in general meat contains 50% not meat that you’ve to slice the 30% I say to 15% to minimize the bad influence of real meat itself and from the adjectives injected into the meat which are a lot worse then the actual meat.

So far I know most people eat in fact (if you know it or don’t know it) meat because when it’s baked it smells good, it gives most people extra saliva in their mouth. Based on a good smelling dish you’ve enough with just a little (bad) meat. Don’t worry about that bad meat, you can become a centenarian with it however the important thing here is nutrition.

I take as example the dinner which now consists of a little piece of meat, about 70% vegetables and 15% basic food like potatoes, rice, etc.. The fresher your food the better. I mean, your food should come from the field and be eaten within 72 to 96 hours. Be aware of those fresh vegetables in the supermarket, those are most of the time more then a year old!!! When you get a good carrot fresh from the field of a farmer who cultivates vegetables according the biological standards the carrot is firm and 2 weeks later the carrot is still firm but take a firm carrot from the supermarket and if you don’t put it in a cooler but just on the shelf then next day it’s like rubber that’s bad food.

Now over to eating food itself so you get maximum nutrition from it. Whatever you eat when it’s in your mouth the digestive process is in it’s important starting phase. Before swallowing we need to chew our food very good, for each bite we should chew 40 times, that’s why we’ve teeth for. When food is being chewed then in our saliva are extra aids to break down your food so it’s already a little digested before you swallow. When you swallow there’s nearly no digestion before the food/nutrition (food became nutritious a little in your mouth, I can not say this enough!) becomes into your stomach. It’s oblivious that from the moment we’ve swallowed we can’t do anything anymore, from in the stomach our body takes over and the better the food is and the better the chewing is the better for your stomach and intestines to further break down the food/nutrition into nutrition that goes via a complex system into our blood.

In food are hundreds of nutrition’s which must be taken into our blood, the better the nutrition the better your stomach, the better your blood circulation, the better for your heart and lungs.

Our lungs are our primary organ for life. We can be without food for ours but we need very quickly air. As a matter of speak you can see our lungs as a very quick stomach, we breath in and in no time oxygen comes via our blood in our brain. Failure to do so causes death.

Smoking was a while seen as a healthy method to get quickly gasses in our bloodstream straight to our brain and indeed smoking good tobacco in a healthy way it can cure some lung diseases.

Our lungs are still used to administer quickly medication like for asthma patients who have a bottle upside down and take puffs of medication. Our lungs are still also used as only a transit of gasses quickly to our brain for anestheology.

Tobacco however in today’s cigarettes contain also a lot of poison even who stay in our lungs if we don’t take good care and slowly ‘glue’ lung tissue what can cause severe illness, remember that the main task in normal conditions is bringing air (oxygen) to our brain.

The smoke in our lungs give ‘nutrition’ into our bloodstream whereby we’ve a quick satisfaction feeling in our brain for the nicotine. However our bloodstream isn’t divided in parts for the point of view of non medical doctors so a lot of smoke poison gasses come into our bloodstream and break down at least an important circulatorory nutrition vitamin C therefore smokers should even more than other people take daily a gram of vitamin C. A gram is much but vitamin C is a very essential component, when lacking vitamin C then you die. When some hundreds years ago ships traveled for months to discover new land etc… many many sailors died due to the lack of vitamin C because when they departed they could take a limited quantity of fruit because after a short time fruit and other vitamin C containing food becomes bad while they needed food for 3 to 4 months and in that time they had only good food.

Vitamin C is a component that’s very easy for our body, when we take 0.5gram, or 5 gram our body takes what it needs and the remaining goes via a healthy process away with our urine.

I advice smokers to take 3 times a day right before eating 0.5gram pure vitamin C. You can buy it OTC in a pharmacy with a kilo in white nearly powder. Take a soup spoon to take the vitamin C and do it in a glass of bottled water, turn in the water till the vitamin C is solved into the water, drink it and start to eat. Smokers who smoke mainly after their last meal I advice to drink vitamin C like described before they go to bed or do I need to say after your last cigarette. Also other smokers and non smokers can do the same. Vitamin C is since hundreds of years known as a very healthy component and there’s still research going on about taking vitamin C for cell regeneration. Vitamin C has many functions and it’s helpful by cell regeneration but probably more than we know and because certainly the tar in tobacco put a heavy strain on the lung cells smokers can use additional vitamin C and you never have to worry about taking to much.

Vitamin C is an acid, it’s called ascorbic acid which is also an anti oxidant. When you see (female) face products it says often that it contains an anti oxidant, those are for every human being these days very important in the struggle against free radicals, a reason the more the use daily 3 to 4 times 0.5gram vitamin C.

The storage of vitamin C is very important, never do the powder in a metal container!!! Mainly when you buy vitamin C with a kilo or so you get it in a dark brown glass bottle maybe with a sponge within. Vitamin C may not come in contact with metal, air and light. Of course there’s some air in the bottle of vitamin C that’s why you do not use a half a bottle, going for 3 months on vacation, come back and use it further, in this case you throw the vitamin C away and buy new.

Suppose mother and father are taken vitamin C, when the food is ready on the table, somebody takes out the closet the bottle when the 2 glasses of water are ready, open the vitamin C bottle, a soup spoon in on one glass (while not touching the water!!!) and another soup spoon in the other glass. Closing quickly the vitamin C bottle and put it immediately in pure dark and not warmer then 77°F (25°C) place. When you’ve taken the last vitamin C for the meal you can use that soup spoon to turn already in the water the solve, in the other glass is a spoon and you bring the two glasses to the table, even when not yet all vitamin C is completely solved you can drink it but an underestimated factor by taking a meal is to be relaxed so why the hurry for a second more to completely solve the vitamin C.

Medical warnings

Although in most cases from heart burn, reflux oesofagitis, ulcers, etc… Vitamin C is mostly safe to drink. No human being can live without vitamin C but I advice you that in case you have diabetes, blood circulation problems, stomach and/or intestinal problems or whatever, consult your GP who should know you the best and has all records of your medical history.

When drinking a lot of vitamin C without health problems and the smell of your urine is somewhat different that’s normal, also the color can become a little bit green, no worries but if you feel worried get rid of your worries before your worries become a problem on it’s own and consult your GP.

I strongly advice not to take vitamin C tablets with a good taste to lemon or orange or so. Please use 100% pure vitamin C that’s the best and it’s normally everywhere the cheapest too up to 500 times cheaper than taken from tablets. The medical reason is a long difficult explanation and your pharmacist is not the one who knows it better than me. Please always drink out of a glass, no plastic!

Don’t forget

– good food (store for biological cultivated food, ask how long it‘s of the field)

– good food is for breakfast no flakes but dark brown bread, the wheat can be old that doesn’t matter

– good chewing to start digestion = 40 times crushing one heap of food before swallowing

– more vitamin C when smoking more

How To Buy Hookah Pipes And Hookah Tobacco

Hookah pipes are readily available from stores in many places around the world. The Internet has now made it possible to buy hookah pipes online from virtually anywhere in the world. But how do you go about choosing the right pipe? There is a big difference between different pipes from different countries. There is also the question of how and where to buy tobacco to smoke through the pipe. There is a variety of tobacco available in different flavors, with herbal options for the health-conscious.

So where do you start on your search for a hookah? The best way to decide on a pipe is to combine some online research with a few visits to hookah lounges and bars. You can read all you want about hookahs, but reading can’t replace the actual experience of smoking. You need to get a feel for the experience of smoking through various pipes of different sizes, from different made, and made of different materials.

Pipes from Egypt are widely considered to be very high quality. Turkish pipes have been criticized because they are usually made of copper, and, the argument goes, smoking through copper adds noxious elements to the smoke. Chinese pipes are generally looked down upon by seasoned hookah smoker in the United States for being lower quality and inauthentic.

Most die hard hookah smokers recommend you don’t buy hookah pipes that are small or miniature. The hookah is supposed to be a social smoking experience, so it’s better to have a large pipe that can be smoked by multiple people. The tradition behind smoking through a hookah is that it should be done in good company, not on your own – you won’t find mini pipes at a hookah lounge in the Middle East or India.

The shape and size of pipes can vary greatly too. The shape of the pipe you buy is largely up to your personal tastes, and it will be different depending on the country of origin. Most online hookah stores provide a range of pipes of different brands from different countries.

You can also find plenty of good tobacco for hookah smoking through an online hookah store. Again, it’s best to go to a hookah lounge and experiment with a few different flavors. If you have friends who are experienced with smoking the hookah, ask them to recommend some good flavors. As you grow more confident as a hookah user, you can combine flavors together to make your own creations.

Smoking Is The Best, Most Reliable Way To Wreck Your Health

The results of long term smoking are plain to see.

Smokers often develop a weather beaten, slightly haggard look and it is usually easy to identify someone as a smoker simply by the way they look. If you want to look good for longer, why would you smoke? 

The Truth About Smoking Tobacco

You already know smoking is bad for you but do you know how bad it really is? 
Reading this should get you fired up to stop smoking!

Cigarette Smoke Is Poisonous

The poisons inhaled when smoking slowly build up in the bodies cells gradually causing damage to them. This is what causes premature aging and the host of other health problems smoking is known to cause.

Smokers suffer from lung damage, heart and circulation problems as well as a markedly increased chance of developing cancers. There is a long list of known human carcinogenic substances found in cigarette smoke and many of these carcinogenic materials are known to bond to our DNA and cause mutations.

Tobacco Additives

There almost 600 additives that may be put in cigarette tobacco, which when burnt have the potential to produce about 4000 other chemical compounds. ( Burning is a chemical reaction that changes compounds from one state to another giving off heat in the process.)

If a substance is approved as a ‘food additive’ and thus allowed to be added to cigarettes it doesn’t follow that the same substance will be safe when burnt due to the different chemical compound produced by the combustion of the original substance. As I understand it, the food safe additives are not tested for food safety when burnt.

Secondary Smoke

Secondary smoke is a well documented cause of health problems for all those who breathe it at work, in the home or at social gatherings.

Second-Hand Smoke A Danger To Unborn Children

For pregnant woman, secondary cigarette smoke has been shown to be particularly harmful to their unborn babies and a documented cause of reduced birth weight.  Secondary smoke also subjects unborn babies to an increased risk of birth defects due to the toxins absorbed from cigarette smoke via a mother who is breathing second hand tobacco smoke – or is a smoker herself.  Second hand smoke itself is a significant health danger to unborn babies. Smoking is also considered a cause or contributing factor in miscarriages and premature births.

Infants And Children Also At Risk

Once a child is born, secondary cigarette smoke is also particularly harmful to them and can cause respiratory problems such as asthma.  For children exposed to passive smoking and living in an environment where tobacco smoke residue permeates into pretty much everything, the risks to their health is markedly increased.

Secondary tobacco smoke exposes children to an increased risk of:

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Asthma
Lung infections
Bronchiolitis (Inflammation of the bronchioles, the smallest air passages in the lungs.)
Tuberculosis
Increased susceptibility to allergies
Chron’s disease
Learning difficulties, delayed developmental milestones and possible behavior  problems and stalled cognitive development.
Tooth decay
Middle ear infections
Skin problems

Secondary Smoke And Adults

The bad news for adults subject to secondary smoke is that it is just as bad for adults as it is for children. The harm caused by cigarette smoking is not much reduced by light or infrequent smoking and as secondary smoke can linger for hours it is insidious, can be barely noticeable but is still dangerous.

The Rest Of The Bad News

Smokers are often unfit, seem breathless, cough often and frequently develop a hoarse voice and emphysema in later life. It is real bad news for people with a predisposition to being asthmatic to either keep company with smokers let alone smoke themselves.  In fact smokers are three times more likely to die before the age of 70 than non-smokers.  Here’s why……

Cancer Is A Likely Side Effect Of Smoking

The toxins in cigarette smoke have been demonstrated to cause a number of diseases and cancers. In fact smoking is a known cause of cancers that can develop in the lungs, lips, mouth, throat, in the bladder, in the liver, the bowls, the breasts, cervix and in the bones – in fact anywhere and everywhere.

The statistics are scary.  Take lung cancer for example.

A man who smokes regularly has, subject to other causes of death not being present, a 22.1% chance of dying of lung cancer before the age of 85.

A man who has never smoked has a 1.1% chance of dying of lung cancer before attaining the age of 85.

Health Risks Attributable To Tobacco Smoke

Tobacco is the single greatest cause of preventable death worldwide; one the World Health Organization says killed 100 million people during the 20th century.

Tobacco is recorded as being the single greatest cause of preventable death in the USA, causing over 500,000 deaths each year in the USA alone and in China, estimates put 1/3 of all China’s adult males at risk of premature death due to tobacco smoke poisoning.

Unfortunately the last few years of a smoker can be pretty grim as their health fails and they have to deal with the final stages of smoking related diseases such as emphysema, heart disease or cancer.  My Blog has the full story.

About the Author:

For several years I have been concerned about the increase of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancers.

I am also concerned about an increasing number of unfit people in modern western societies. I feel very strongly that we, as a society, are going to facing huge problems in future years dealing with a bulge of health problems that will strain our health services to breaking point.

I have had some work experience in the health field but I also do a lot of research which I combine with some pretty pragmatic down to earth life experiences to produce readable commonsense health information.

I have a blog health site, www.ClearSkyHealth.com, where I publish my articles. I look forward to readers feedback and welcome suggestions for future topics. If you have a question I will endeavor to answer it for you.

Tobacco Use and Reproductive Outcomes if a woman Smokes

Women who smoke have increased menstrual and reproductive risks. These risks are caused due to nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, cyanide, and several other chemicals, carcinogens present in the cigarette smoke. When a woman smokes, she exposes these chemicals to the fetus and this increases the chance of miscarriage, abortion.

Despite the harmful effects of smoking on reproductive health, about 22% women continue to smoke, putting themselves and their baby at risk. But the good news is that by stopping smoking before and during pregnancy, women can greatly reduce the health risks associated with cigarette smoking.

Tobacco Use and Reproductive Outcomes in Women
Here are consequences of smoking on reproductive health of women:

Delayed Conception/Infertility : A woman who smokes and plans a pregnancy has a risk of delayed conception when compared to a nonsmoking woman. Smoking decreases the probability of being pregnant to about one-third per cycle. Several studies have also showed that smoking women have infertility problems.

Low-birth weight of the baby : Babies of women who smoke have low-birth weight when compared to the babies of non-smoking women. Low birth weight is very dangerous for the baby as it can cause neonatal morbidity and mortality. A smoking woman’s baby’s deficit in birth weight is about 5% on an average.

Ectopic Pregnancy : Smoking increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized tissue is implanted outside the womb. Ectopic pregnancy puts the life of mother at risk and endangers subsequent fertility. The risk of ectopic pregnancy is double in woman who smokes when compared to nonsmoking woman.

Premature rupture of membranes : Smoking women are at risk of premature rupture of membranes i.e. Abruptio placentae (separation of placenta from uterus) and Placental previa (the placenta is abnormally located, which may result in hemorrhaging during delivery. Due to premature rupture of membranes, the woman has a risk of carrying the baby for shorter time period than the normal gestational period.

Placenta Previa: The risk of placenta Previa, a condition in which the placenta is prematurely separated from the uterus wall, is high in smoking women. This condition can result in stillbirth, or early infant death.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): Babies of women who smoke have a high risk of SIDS and this risk is higher if the infant is exposed to postnatal smoking. Along with this, smoking women have high risks of stillbirths, neonatal deaths and prenatal mortality.

All the above reproductive health risks are in addition to other health problems such as cancer, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular diseases etc. In view of the several health risks, it is very important for a woman to stop smoking. The good news is that when women stop smoking in the first trimester, the reproductive health risks are greatly reduced.

The fact that pregnancy is a strong motivator for quitting smoking should encourage women to take up quit smoking programs. According to studies, women who quit smoking during pregnancy do not smoke even one year after delivery.

Quitting smoking not only ensures the baby’s health, but it also improves the health and extends the life of women. Hence, women should put in their complete efforts to quit smoking for a better future and a healthy family.

Electric Cigarettes – A Healthier Alternative To Smoking Tobacco Products

var addthis_config = { “data_track_clickback”:true, ui_language: “en” }

document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’http://abjs.s3.amazonaws.com/gads/gads-topC1F.js?v=2.0016′ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”));

Trying to give up the demon weed, but just finding that giving up one of life’s pleasures is all too difficult? Has a health warning been issued by a physician or medical practitioner due to smoking tobacco products?

If the answer to both of these questions, or maybe only one of the questions is a resounding “YES”, then welcome to the world of electric cigarettes, the modern rival of cigarettes and tobacco products, without the added danger of inhaling smoke, tar and all of the hideous pesticides and some of the other 4000 or so chemical compounds found in cigarette smoke, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, and other toxic irritants such as acrolein and formaldehyde.

The revolutionary electric cigarettes from realelectroniccigarettes.com replaces the noxious mix of chemicals and poisons which are all generated at the end of a burning cigarette, a veritable furnace which burns at between 800 and 1400 degrees centigrade,

The Real Electronic Cigarettes Company presents for sale probably the best of the best vapor producing electronic cigarettes available on the market, and one which challenges real cigarettes and tobacco products for the satisfaction, fulfilment and pleasure smokers obtain but devoid of the injurious and destructive chemicals and tar.

Understandably people will ask what this revolutionary creation is and how it performs, but the most important question is does it actually challenge and even equal a real cigarette?

Each of the electronic cigarettes has a battery and a small atomizer unit and combined with a cartridge filled with liquid nicotine, when the user inhales, much in the same way as smoking a real cigarette, the small heating element in the electronic cigarette heats up in the same way as the ‘chemical furnace’ at the end of a real cigarette, and vaporizes the liquid nicotine into a fine mist, almost the same as a real ciggie, and replicates the action.

One of the worst and noticeable side effects of smoking real cigarettes is that those that smoke really do smell bad; however with the electronic version of the cigarette from The Real Electronic Cigarettes Company, there is none of the clouds of smoke rising above the head of the smoker, while at the same time clinging to your hair, clothes and skin.

For those that want to stop smoking real cigarettes but do not want to leave the pleasure of smoking behind, these great products from the The Real Electronic Cigarettes Company are just right.

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.

Smoking has become the affliction of a large magnitude of people and others seem to be joining the smoke bandwagon at an alarming rate. Smoking has become a very common sight with one out of every fifth person being a smoker. The trend of smoking has become very common among teenagers also. The problems one gets due to smoking are many, but they do not seem to encourage people to stop smoking or deter people for starting to smoke. The hazardous effects of smoking are many, but people do not seem to be paying heed; the tobacco companies seem to be the only one is reaping the rewards out of smoking.

Since tobacco was born, it has been a few companies dominate the tobacco industry. These companies control most of the production and distribution around the world. They are quick to adapt to their policies and tactics to conform to the regulations set by the government and cater to the needs of the ever-increasing number of smokers around the world.

Tobacco companies of the world

A few companies hold the tobacco production and control of tobacco; the three largest companies sell close to two thirds of the entire supply. The stagnation in demand has prompted them to explore new markets.

The government is in a predicament since the tobacco industry accounts for a vast amount of jobs, but it also has to protect the health of its citizens. The government has tried to cut down on smokers by increasing the taxes imposed on them. By increasing the taxes on tobacco products and leveling higher duties on the companies, the companies are forced to raise the prices, which indirectly reduce use; since higher priced goods will be used less often. There is not much the government can do since tobacco is not a banned product.

The large companies also diversify their business to keep abreast in the market. They use various ways the companies diversify.

By market segments: Products are usually divided into categories, from high priced premium cigarettes to low and middle class of cigarettes. Companies with big brand names sell premium high priced cigarettes but also expand in to lower class sales to protect them from susceptibility. A decline in sales of premium cigarettes will be ploughed back by the sales in the lower or middle brands of cigarettes.

By target group: Every cigarette has its target group. By creating a new target group, the company can raise its overall market share. Thus the need to branch out into women cigarettes and target young people.

This targeting of women and youngsters has been seen in bad light. The tobacco industry has long targeted young people with its advertising and promotional campaigns. One of the most memorable, “Joe Camel” campaign initiated by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, helped generate public outrage against tobacco company efforts to reach young audiences and it is no longer used. The reason is obvious, most people start smoking at an early age. Getting a hold on a new segment will increase its share in the market.

Women are also a segment that the industries try to win over. Cigarettes for women are put forward as a symbol of liberation and some even shown in the light of slimming products. Manufacturers produce (long, slim) cigarettes especially for women. Perfumed or scented cigarettes with exotic flavors are targeted at women. Cigarettes usually have the word “slim” or “lights” to attract women consumers. Minorities are also a target for the tobacco industry.

Diversification by tobacco products: cigarettes companies also try to branch out into other tobacco products. For example, Imperial tobacco has decided to branch out into the roll your own segment; it dominates both the tobacco and the paper for this segment.

Diversification by non-tobacco products: food seems to be the favorite for companies seeking to diversify. R.J. Reynolds bought Nabisco (which, in turn, was later acquired by Kraft) owned by Philip Morris. Japan Tobacco derives a (small) part of its sales from food. Logistics and wholesaling are another favorite

Austria Tabak, wholesaling of tobacco and other products (and the operation of vending machines) makes up a large share of turnover. Over 20 per cent of Altadis’ earnings originate in its logistics division. Skandinavisk Tobakskompagni owns the largest wholesaler of consumer goods in Denmark. BAT tried financial services (but, since 1998, is a pure tobacco company).

Diversification into food and other activities makes the tobacco companies less dependent on (slow-growing) sales of tobacco products. However, the profit margins in these industry are usually well below those attained in tobacco processing. Producing and marketing cigarettes remain the more lucrative activity.

Incase of diversification by geographical market, OECD-based tobacco companies are keen to reduce their dependence on their stagnant home markets and establish a presence in markets where growth is above average. After having started business in many markets in Latin

America, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Central Asian republics in the 1990s, their center of attention is shifting to the Far East. All the major tobacco companies now have a presence in Poland, Russia and the Central Asian republics. Austria Tabak, which gained a presence in

Estonia when it acquired the cigarette activities of Swedish Match also has a 67 per cent market share in Guinea. The company was considering entering Asian markets when it was taken over by Gallaher in June 2001. Through this take-over and the acquisition in 2000 of Liggett-Ducat, the Moscow cigarette maker, Gallaher greatly reduced its dependence on the UK market. Similarly, Japan Tobacco became a world player when it acquired the international activities of R.J. Reynolds. Thanks to a relentless internationalization drive, Germany’s Reemtsma now sells less than one-third of its total in its home market (compared to over 60 per cent in 1991) (see also figure 6). It is now on the go in several Central and Eastern European countries and, in 1999, it acquired Cambodia’s Paradise Tobacco Company.

The government.

A predicament is generally faced by the Governments all across the world. On the one hand, tobacco-growing and processing can makes a large contribution to employment, tax revenue and foreign exchange receipts. In many developing and formerly centrally planned economies, the tobacco companies have made sizeable and most welcome investments when other investors were disinclined to do so. On the other hand, governments have the responsibility to protect the population’s health. Smoking is harmful to health and treating people for smoking-related illnesses is expensive. This can lead to heated debates within the same government as each sector defends the interests it believes it should represent.

The economic importance of tobacco growing and processing differs from country to country. At the national level, cigarette (sales and import) tax can be a main source of government revenue. In Russia, cigarette tax revenue contributes around 8 per cent to the financing of the state budget.

When the government owns the industry, it receives profits in addition to tax. That is why, in so many countries, State monopolies continue to control cigarette trade and production. In China, proceeds from state-owned CNTC amounted to the equivalent of US,000 million in 1999. CNTC has been the Chinese State’s top revenue generator for years. Japan Tobacco earned more than US0 million for the Japanese State in the fiscal year ending March 2000. The monopolies can also play a social function. In Italy, several of the state monopoly’s factories are to be found in areas of high unemployment.

Then there are balance of payments issues to mull over, many low-income countries rely on the export of cash crops such as tobacco to pay for the service of their foreign debt.

Tobacco exports made up close to 10 per cent of Cuba’s exports in 1997-98. In the case of

Tanzania it was 15 per cent, In Zimbabwe over 25 per cent and in Malawi tobacco exports made up two-thirds of commodity exports.

Citizens smoke. But, if they smoke domestically produced cigarettes, using homegrown tobacco or use imported cigarettes and tobaccos can make a large difference when foreign exchange is scarce. That explains why so many countries try to restrict the imports of cigarettes and encourage domestic producers to use local tobaccos, for example, by providing a favorable tax treatment to companies that use a minimum percentage of homegrown tobaccos. The cigarette companies have also been a key source of investment in the formerly centrally planned countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. When others were disinclined to invest, those companies saw the possibilities offered by a blend of pent-up consumer demand, outdated production facilities and the association with independence and “western style” living that so appealed to the people in these countries after many years of central planning and little consumer choice. After having lobbied successfully for the reduction of restrictions of Asian markets such as Japan and the Republic of Korea, the large tobacco companies are eagerly waiting for the opening up of the other economies (notably China) that continue to restrict imports from and/or investments by foreign tobacco companies.

Tobacco growing, processing and exports can thus make a significant involvement to national employment and national income. Yet, however important tobacco growing and processing may be at the national level, its full economic and social significance is best grasped at the micro or regional level. In some regions, tobacco is grown side by side with the crop, which is the main source of income; its contribution to overall income is modest. However, in many others, tobacco is a main source of income and employment.

Tobacco growing and tobacco processing may bring substantial economic and social benefits, but the treatment of smoking-related illness is costly. Cigarette smoking causes cancer. It is addictive. The WHO estimates that tobacco products cause around 3 million deaths per year. Cigarette smoking is the major cause of preventable mortality in developed countries. In the mid-1990s, about 25 per cent of all male deaths in developed countries were due to smoking. Among men aged 35-69 years, more than one-third of all deaths were caused by smoking. The costs of treating all these people are clearly enormous (WHO, 1997).

So far, smoking has not had the same impact on mortality among women and among people from developing countries. There is an approximate 30-40 year time lag between the onset of persistent smoking and deaths from smoking. The effects of the greater incidence of smoking between these two groups will thus be felt with a lag, but it seems reasonable to believe that its impact on them will not differ fundamentally from that on developed country males.

It may be argued that smokers willingly take a certain health risk when enjoying their smoke. They like the taste and all the other things that they associate with smoking. Nevertheless, this does not apply to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) or “second-hand smoke”.

Smoke gets in your eyes your clothes. Moreover, it gets in your lungs. Non-smokers cannot escape from smoke in badly ventilated areas. To be exposed to other people’s tobacco smoke can be a nuisance in addition to being a health risk for non-smokers.

Governments and conflicting pressures: How do they get by?

In practice, governments have opted for several strategies (which are often followed simultaneously). A recent strategy consists of seeking compensation for the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses. It has been followed with success in the United States, as we saw in section 3.4. Governments also set rules regarding the maximum content of hazardous substances in cigarettes. Most of all, however, governments try to discourage demand for what is, as the industry does not tire of telling us, essentially a legal product.

This is done in a variety of ways, with some governments applying particular vigor and others taking a more relaxed approach. Overall, however, the trend is clear: governments’ rules on smoking are becoming ever more restrictive. The use of tobacco products is being discouraged in several ways.

Limitation of the space where smoking is allowed.

This is done above all to protect non-smokers from involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. Smoking is being prohibited in public places (particularly health care and educational facilities) and in mass transport. Legislation requires restaurants to reserve space for non-smokers.

Limitation by age group

It is prohibited to sell tobacco products to people under a certain age.

Limitations on points of sale.

The use of vending machines is being restricted because these cannot discriminate against sales to young people.

Health warnings stating that tobacco is harmful to health have become obligatory.

The warnings must be placed on packets and in ads, with the authorities prescribing the text and the minimum space allotted to the warning in the ad or on the pack. Governments sponsor education and public information programs on smoking and health.

Advertising bans. Restrictions concern the location of ads, the media used (no billboards, no ads in the printed media or in cinemas), the images presented (no young people, no cigarette packets), and the time when broadcasting is allowed (not during hours when children watch television).

The manufacturers are unhappy with these restrictions, and in particular with the ban on advertising. In their view, it is not proved that such a ban discourages demand for cigarettes (as its proponents claim). They are concerned about its effect on the value of their prime asset, the brand name.

Worldwide, the tobacco-processing industry employs hundreds of thousands of people. However, due to a combination of slow demand growth, consolidation, and higher productivity, this number is unlikely to increase by much in the near future. Fewer people are needed per unit of production. The industry is becoming less intensive in the use of labor. Tobacco growing, in contrast, gives work to millions of people. It continues to be a highly labour-intensive activity. The scope for productivity increases in tobacco growing would appear to be more limited than those in tobacco processing.

Over a million people are employed in the world tobacco industry

However, of this number a high percentage is employed in just three countries: China, India and Indonesia. The large number employed in China comes as no surprise in view of the large number of cigarettes (one-third of the world total) produced there. Still, the productivity gap with the United States is striking. China produces roughly three times as many cigarettes as the US, but it needs over nine times as many people to produce them. In the other two countries, the scope for productivity improvements would appear to be even higher.

THE SCENARIO TODAY.

The situation concerning smoking are scary, if global trends continue as they are doing today by 2030 more than 8 million people will die each year from tobacco related causes-80% in the developing regions of the World. In India per example where 120 million smoke 1 in 5 men will die for smoking. Smoking is on the decline in developed nations but is on a large-scale rise in developing or underdeveloped nations. The statistics are frightening, every eight seconds someone dies from smoking; about 15 billion cigarettes are sold daily. There are 1.1 billion smokers in the world today, and if things continue as they have, that number is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by the year 2025.

Smoking and use of tobacco products is on a decline in most developed countries. However, it is on a rampant increase in other developing countries.

In the US, there has been a decrease in the number of smokers. This can be attributed to the growing awareness of the damage smoking causes to the health of the individual. There is however a sad side to the story, smoking has increased to a drastic level in other countries and the figures are staggering.

China is home to 300 million smokers who consume upwards of 1.7 trillion cigarettes a year, or 3 million cigarettes a minute. As many as 100 million Chinese men presently under the age of 30 will die from tobacco use. There are approximately 120 million smokers in India today, and it is estimated that in the year 2010 alone, there will be close to one million tobacco-related deaths among men and women age 30 to 69 in India. Worldwide, tobacco use will kill more than 175 million people between now and the year 2030. Current tobacco-related health care costs in the United States total US billion annually. Germany spends an average of US billion, and Australia, US billion each year on health care directly related to tobacco use. Health care costs associated with secondhand smoke total US billion a year in the U.S. It is estimated that as many as 500 million people alive today will be killed by tobacco use. The statistics are chilling.

One reason for the sudden spurt in the numbers in these countries may be due to the arrival of tobacco companies. The lax stand of the governments in these countries makes it a good bet to start business. The anti smoking lobbies in these countries have not been able to combat the increase. Increased awareness has made it hard for tobacco companies to work in many countries and so the tobacco companies have shifted their sights to greener pastures.

These countries have a very small anti smoking lobby and the government restrictions o them are not so tough and the government is dependent on the revenues it earns from them. Setting up business in these countries has resulted in increased used of tobacco products.

The anti smoking lobby has been very effective in curtailing the spread and increase of smoking around the world.

Advertising related to tobacco has is banned in most countries. Warnings of the harmful effects of the product have to be printed on the packet. This statutory warning is mandatory in most countries. The WHO in its Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which came into effect on 27 February 2005 has specified that all 168 countries should ban advertisements unless their constitutions forbade them to do so.

Today, we are aware of the hazards of smoking. Even though the people are aware of the harmful effects of smoking they rarely seem to pay heed. Everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, heart diseases and can shorten the life span of an individual. It is a highly addictive habit and smokers are at a risk of losing ten years of their life.

With so many smokers around the world, tobacco companies are the only ones gaining form the increase.

Global Smoking Trends- Where Tobacco Companies Make Money These Days?

“I will quit smoking” a line often heard but seldom put into action.
Smoke-not to smoke?
What if I am so addicted than I’m just going “the easy way” lighting up every 2-3 hrs- promising myself: “I will quit tomorrow,next week,next month…”
Yes I agree- no one ever forced me to smoke- but I bought my first pack of cigarettes in the local store,and no one told me -it will make you a prisoner!They have just asked me for an ID and money/which part of it /tax/ went to our governement.

Cigarette smoking as well as exposure to second hand tobacco smoke has association with premature death caused due to chronic diseases such as different kinds of cancer, heart diseases and lung diseases. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, smoking is the leading cause of about 80 percent of lung cancer deaths in males and almost 70 percent of deaths in females. The risk of dying of lung cancer is almost 26 times higher among the male of the species that smoke cigarettes. Among women that smoke tobacco cigarettes compared with those who never smoked is about 15 times higher. Apart from that, smoking leads to many diseases including cancers of the bladder, oral cavity, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach. It is also the leading causative factor of acute myeloid leukaemia. Also, exposure to cigarette smoke during one’s childhood days makes one prone to respiratory infections, ear infections, and asthma.

According to some of the recent study reports, every year, almost half a million Americans die of diseases related to cigarette smoking. Heart disease is one of the leading reasons for deaths in the United States. Cigarette smokers are four times more likely to contract coronary heart disease when compared to nonsmokers, and smoking doubles a person’s risk of suffering from stroke related illnesses. In addition to that, about 90 percent of all deaths due to chronic obstructive lung diseases can be attributed to cigarette smoking and use of tobacco products. Cigarette smoking has many adverse effects on the reproductive health area. Other bad effects include an increased risk of infertility, pre-term delivery, stillbirths, low birth weight of the infant and the much feared sudden infant death syndrome.

Regardless of the knowledge related to the harmful effects generated by cigarette smoke, cigarettes and other tobacco products account for more than 60 percent of the expenditures on all such products in our country. This point to the fact that even though research studies have provided evidence that cigarette smoke unleash detrimental effects on the smoker’s health, many smokers do not take it seriously. People that want their children to grow up in a healthy and smoke-free environment need to take matters into their own hands. Steps must be taken to decrease the level of cigarette smoke exposure faced by children.

Treat your household as a tobacco-smoke-free zone. If you need to smoke, do so only outside your house. Wear a smoke coat that you must take off before returning inside. Set an example by dining with your child in restaurants that are labelled smoke-free restaurants. Ask your friends and relatives not to smoke in the proximity of your child. Be insistent so that you make your voice heard. Talk to your school going or adolescent children about the bad effects of cigarette smoke and the health consequences. Be honest with them, especially if you happen to be a smoker, and talk about it very often. Take a decision not to smoke; quitting the habit of smoking is not easy, but it is really possible.

Dangers Abound From Cigar Smoke

Nicotine, the substance contained in tobacco causes addiction, and most of the cigars have as much amounts of nicotine as that contained in a few cigarettes combined together. When cigar smokers take in cigar smoke, nicotine gets absorbed very rapidly from cigarettes. For those who do not directly inhale the smoke, it still gets absorbed; but only more slowly, through the lining surrounding the inside of the mouth.

Ways Of Smoking A Cigar

A cigar connoisseur does not stub out a cigar. Instead, he would enjoy the smoke up to the ribbon and would place the cigar in the ashtray; there, the cigar goes out by itself, and that is the way it is done. He usually holds the cigar with his thumb and index finger. If he is smoking a longer cigar, he might use his thumb, index finger, and the middle finger as well.

The Age Of Cigars

Cigars have to be smoked within a few weeks of them being rolled if you wish to get a new or freshly rolled type of flavour and taste. But, in general, experts are of the opinion that most cigars embody a better taste after a year of their manufacturing. A two-year-old cigar is usually the best one to smoke if you are going for light smokes. This is the peak time when these cigars and their flavours are at their best.

Cigar Processing And Different Types

In fact, for creating better quality cigarettes and cigars, hand made cigar makers make use of some particular tools. The bunching machine is one such device and it serves particularly to improve the construction process. A rigid frame holds on to a belt and a moving cylinder is activated with the help of a lever. It is the same principle as that of a pocket cigarette rolling machine.

While some people had been successful in their endeavours in giving up their habit of smoking, many hard core smokers are never able to give it up completely. Stopping smoking by resorting to the method of hypnosis has been gaining ground. In this form of treatment, there is neither any pressure to stop the habit of smoking nor any replacement addictions that one has to deal with.

How Addiction Creeps In

Nicotine is considered a psycho active drug. In other words it affects the human being’s brain chemistry. In fact, it makes its way into the human brain in less than ten seconds after a person draws tobacco smoke into his lungs. There it sets the neurotransmitters in one’s brain dancing.

Every Time You Smoke

Nicotine is the most addictive element present in tobacco and tobacco products. It will get absorbed into the bloodstream whenever a person smokes. After it enters the bloodstream, it will start influencing the brain chemistry that eventually leads to some alterations in both the mood and the person’s attention.

*** Do Not Quit Smoking! Click Here ***

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.

Electric Tobacco Pipe

There are many types of quit smoking medication available to help you stop smoking. Its an advantage to use a stop smoking medication to increase your chances of smoking cessation permanently. We will show you the top list of quit smoking products, and tell you which ones are safe to use and work. And we will also show you where to find a free quit smoking product online.

Types of Stop Smoking Medication

There are 3 main types of medication used to help your smoking cessation plan. If you have medical issues please consult your doctor before trying any types of medications.

Natural Nicotine Relief Products

There is a range of natural smoking cessation products, that use only natural ingredients to help calm your smoking withdrawal symptoms. These products are very safe to use, as it is a natural quit smoking aid. As you know when you stop smoking, the withdrawal symptoms can be very stressful to your mind and body, with headaches, pains, stress, nausea, shaking, anxiety, and so on. So by using a natural nicotine craving relief spray, it is quickly absorbed into your body to sooth your symptoms fast. Electric Tobacco Pipe

Nicotine Replacement Patches and Pills

The nicotine replacement products are another common method to help smoking cessation. The way these products works is they feed the nicotine drug into your blood stream. This method makes you feel satisfied that you have your daily nicotine drug intake. But the problem with this method is that you are still addicted to nicotine and doing damage to your body with nicotine patches and products.

Quit Smoking Chemical Drugs

There are some heavy duty pills that can be used to help you stop smoking, but these pills should really only be tried if all else fails. The problem with these drugs are they chemically affect your brain, which can be a dangerous thing. These drugs release the chemical dopamine into your brain, and this chemical has been linked to side affects of depression and mental illness in some cases. So its best to only use a natural stop smoking product. Electric Tobacco Pipe
